The bench-to bedside approach of Translation Medicine is one of the most promising approaches in finding new cancer therapies. This book is the first to present a complete overview on the progress in the field.
Two volumes contain a selection of new and updated articles from the acclaimed Meyers Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, the most authoritative resource in cell and molecular biology.
The content is divided into three parts:
+ Introduction to cancer biology
+ Therapeutic approaches
+ Cancer diagnostics
