Documents the frequency of cancer in different countries, trends in cancer incidence and mortality, and describes the known causes of human cancer. The molecular and cellular basis of malignant transformation is concisely summarized. Contains an up to date overview of cancer prevention, including screening programs for early diagnosis, as well as advances in surgical and medical oncology, including novel drugs targeting tumor-specific signalling pathways. The efforts of the World Health Organization in the fight against cancer are detailed, together with strategies for cancer control. Includes more than 500 color photographs, diagrams, and tables.
