tailieunhanh - Cancer Metastasis – Related Genes

Being diagnosed with cancer is devastating. But when the cancer cells have to spread to form secondary colonies, the prognosis for the patient is worse. If meaningful improvements in survival are to occur, then control of metastasis will be a foundation. Relatively little is known about the control of the metastatic process at the molecular level. This volume begins to explore our current knowledge regarding the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms controlling the metastatic phenotype. While all of the authors attempted to put their findings into a context for translation to the clinical situation, the state-of-the-art does not fully allow this. Nonetheless, we write these summaries of our. | Cancer Metastasis - Related Genes Cancer Metastasis - Biology and Treatment VOLUME 3 Series Editors Richard J. Ablin . Innapharma Inc. Park Ridge NJ .
