Cancer Biology. The course also describes the risk factors for the major cancers worldwide, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer. Over the last three decades, knowledge on the molecular biology of human cancers has vastly expanded. Carcinomas can be identified by the different cells that they affect: Figure 8.28 The Biology of Cancer (© Garland Science 2007)-Myc is overexpressed in 15-30% of human cancers.-Myc interacts closely with cell cycle machinery. Cancer Gene Census lists ~600 genes associated with cancer. al. The Biology of Cancer is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate biology students as well as medical students studying the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. View PDF. The book describes the effects of anticancer agents on nucleolar ultrastructure; the role of chromosomes in the causation and progression of cancer and leukemia; the replication, modification, and repair of DNA. The course introduces the molecular biology of cancer (oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes) as well as the biologic hallmarks of cancer.

Review •Central Dogma of Molecular Biology •Mendelian Genetics •Types of mutations: silent, missense, nonsense, frameshift. The changes that make normal cells turn into cancer cells are described. Introduction to Cancer Biology is a short primer on how cancers develop and grow. In 2012, according to the published data from the American Cancer Society, a total of 226,160 new cases of lung cancer had been diagnosed with a total death of 160,340 secondary to lung cancer. These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. The Biology of Cancer, 2nd Edition is edited by Robert A. Weinberg..

The book begins with a brief history of the field of cancer biology as it spawned from accelerated research after World War II and into the mid-70s, when cancer biology really took off as an independent field of research. The book presents the principles of cancer biology in an organized, cogent, and in-depth manner. Please see Lodish, Harvey, et. There are a number of texts and specialist papers available about the biology of cancer, but they are not, in the main, aimed at cancer nurses, that is the health professionals who actually deliver the majority of treatments. The principles of cancer biology are presented in an organized, cogent, and in-depth manner. It is the most common form of cancer that affects the epithelial cells which form the lining of internal organs or the skin. Related journals of Tumor Study.
