Molecular Biology of Cancer

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics offers a comprehensive overview of the molecular processes underlying cell replication and the ways in which their disruption leads to cancer. Now in its second edition, this textbook guides readers through the intricate regulatory systems that normally control cell division and how their failure can give rise to malignancy. Designed with undergraduate students in mind, Lauren Pecorino presents the key hallmarks of cancer and elucidates the cellular mechanisms that become corrupted during the disease’s development. The book carefully connects foundational molecular biology concepts with modern targeted therapeutic strategies, making it an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand both the science of cancer and its clinical implications. Richly illustrated with updated figures and enhanced coverage of critical topics, Molecular Biology of Cancer bridges experimental methods with practical insights, demonstrating how research findings are translated into innovative treatment approaches. This concise yet thorough text stands as an invaluable tool for courses in cancer biology and molecular medicine.
