Principles of Tumors covers all of the fundamental aspects of tumors, including their definitions, incidences, causation, pathogenesis, treatments, and prevention. The book provides a unique approach, integrating a wide range of basic bioscience findings with clinico-pathological observations and phenomena encountered in their treatment. As tumors are studied in fairly separate, broad areas, such as basic biological sciences, pathology, oncology, and epidemiology, this book brings together these perspectives, providing an all-inclusive text that benefits all researchers, while also providing an avenue for translational research. Integrates both cell mechanisms and tumor physiopathologyBrings together research and perspectives from basic biological sciences, pathology, oncology, and epidemiology, providing an all-inclusive textProvides a concise tumor reference for the tumor researcher and oncologistIncludes appendices for foundational materialBrings out the cell detail of tumors INDICE: Preface 1.
