Description for Cancer Genome and Tumor Microenvironment Hardback. There exists a large body of evidence suggesting that well-known mutations in cancer genes profoundly affect tumor milieu. The reviews in this book explore in detail how tumor microenvironment and progression are "hard-wired" at the genetic level. Editor(s): Thomas-Tikhonenko, Andrei. Series: Cancer Genetics. Num Pages: 480 pages, 29 black & white illustrations, 16 colour illustrations, 9 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: MJCL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1017.

Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes had been traditionally studied in the context of cell proliferation, differentiation, senescence, and survival, four relatively cell-autonomous processes. Consequently, in the late ’80s-early ’90s, neoplastic growth was described largely as an imbalance between net cell accumulation and loss, brought about through mutations in cancer genes. In the last ten years, a more holistic understanding of cancer has slowly emerged, stressing the importance of interactions between neoplastic and various stromal components: extracellular matrix, basement membranes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells of blood and lymphatic vessels, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, etc. The commonly held view is that changes in tumor microenvironment ...

Reviews for Cancer Genome and Tumor Microenvironment
From the reviews: “This book compiles recent works on genetic alterations that have been associated with carcinogenesis and attempts to present these in the context of the interaction of tumor cells with their microenvironment. The book provides a great deal of information on specific subjects of research, and is very useful as a reference. … The audience includes scientists ... Read more
