| Description: |
* Introduces all the major disciplines used in cancer science, allowing researchers to fit see their work and its relevance from a broader perspective. * Each chapter has key learning objectives, problems and solutions to facilitate study. *'Did you know?' fact boxes enhance the learning experience. |
| Synopsis: |
Written by scientific and clinical staff from the largest and one of the most prestigious dedicated cancer centres in Europe (The Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust), this book provides a summary of current cancer science, told from a multidisciplinary perspective. It includes chapters on epidemiology, causes and detection of cancer, as well as the basic biology and genetics underlying tumour development and spread. It also details new approaches to research such as bioinformatics and proteomics, and considers a range of cancer treatments alongside their biological and physical foundation. This integrated approach to cancer science reflects the current nature of scientific and medical research - looking to combine traditionally segregated disciplines in order to gain greater understanding of the field and better treatments for people with cancer. This book provides a truly integrated coverage of cancer research, aimed at a scientific audience rather than dedicated clinical staff or the general public. * Learning objectives: included at the start of each chapter to outline key information areas that will be covered and what the reader should learn.Text should be boxed off. * Test your knowledge - problems and solutions: included at the end of each chapter to help the reader determine whether they have achieved the learning objectives. * 'Did you know' fact boxes: interesting snippets of information, which are linked to and enhance the chapter content * Possible delineation between basic 'need to know' and more advanced 'nice to know' information. The 'nice to know' sections would provide further information on a particular subject area for those who are interested, and an option to skip this information for those who wish to focus on the core 'need to know' aspects of the chapter. This delineation would allow the users flexibility in learning style. |
