Book Description
Providing a comprehensive overview of scientific and clinical information in all major areas of cancer biology and medicine, The Cancer Handbook stands out from existing oncology textbooks and reference works in that it bridges the gap between the molecular biology of cancer and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Covering a wide range of subjects - from basic cell biology to the systemic oncology of all major organs and tissues - the content of The Cancer Handbook has been organised into six major sections:

* The Molecular Basis of Cell and Tissue Organisation
* The Causation and Prevention of Cancer
* Diagnostic Imaging and Image-Guided Intervention
* Systemic Oncology
* Pre-Clinical Models for Human Cancer
* The Treatment of Human Cancer

It is an indispensable resource for medical and life science students, and all scientists, clinicians and researchers working in the cancer field and related biomedical areas.

* 106 chapters in 2 volumes
* Over 200 contributors
* Approximately 800,000 words
* 750 illustrations in black and white and in colour, plus numerous tables and figures
* 32 detailed colour plates
