Cancer and Development

A number of molecular pathways and cellular processes are essential for normal vertebrate development that has been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. This volume includes the insights into the importance of developmental pathways for tumorigenesis by the leaders in the field of cancer genetics and developmental biology.

Klappentext

In recent years, a number of molecular pathways and cellular processes that are essential for normal vertebrate development have been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. In this volume, leaders in the field of cancer genetics and developmental biology share recent insights into the importance of developmental pathways for tumorigenesis. These discoveries provide important avenues for innovative new approaches to treating some of the most challenging developmental tumors.
Provides researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest research findings and contemporary thought in the area
There are now a large number of molecular targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer. Many of these therapies target pathways that are essential for normal development. Therefore, this volume provides an up to date and timely perspective on those pathways and biological processes that hold the greatest promise for targeted intervention.
