N2  - Providing a comprehensive overview of scientific and clinical information in all major areas of cancer biology and medicine, The Cancer Handbook stands out from existing oncology textbooks and reference works in that it bridges the gap between the molecular biology of cancer and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Covering a wide range of subjects - from basic cell biology to the systemic oncology of all major organs and tissues - the content of The Cancer Handbook has been organised into these major sections:

• The Molecular Basis of Cell and Tissue Organisation

• The Causation and Prevention of Cancer

• Systemic Oncology

Pre-Clinical Models for Human Cancer

Diagnostic Imaging and Image-guided Intervention

• The Treatment of Human Cancer

Written with an emphasis on clarity of style, each chapter includes numerous tables and illustrations prepared specifically for the book. Added to this are detailed colour plate sections in each volume. Each chapter concludes with a list of key references and a bibliography of recommended further reading. Extensive cross-references allow for comparisons between experimental research and treatment. A comprehensive glossary completes this major new resource for those who are not experts in the area
