Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics offers an accessible, engaging, and optimistic account of cancer biology for undergraduate and graduate students. Drawing on the latest research in this dynamic field, author Lauren Pecorino makes cutting-edge science readily accessible. Using the hallmarks of cancer as a starting point, the text looks at the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning the transformation of cells into cancer cells. After discussing the theory, each chapter then demonstrates how this knowledge can be directly applied to the development of new targeted therapies, giving students a clear appreciation of how the theory translates to tackling the disease.

Principles of Cancer Biology,is an engaging book focused on providing readers with a "big picture" view of cancer. Author Lewis Kleinsmith has written an instructional text focusing on key concepts for a general audience. Each chapter contains a list of suggested readings that expand the detail as needed. The text also emphasizes the scientific evidence that underlies cancer biology, and teaches readers to think critically about this evidence- as there are constantly new "breakthroughs" and reports in this field.
