Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics, 6th edition (EPUB)

By Lauren Pecorino

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics provides a clear, engaging, and accessible introduction to the biology of cancer, while demonstrating how advances in our understanding of cancer can contribute to the development of innovative treatments. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students, the book presents cancer biology in an informative and encouraging way, connecting fundamental concepts with their practical therapeutic applications.

Key Features

  • Explains the fundamental theories behind cancer biology and demonstrates how these principles can be used to identify therapeutic targets and develop new cancer treatments, helping students understand how scientific knowledge can be transformed into clinical strategies.
  • Incorporates findings from the latest research in cancer biology to provide readers with current scientific perspectives.
  • Includes a range of interactive learning tools designed to reinforce understanding and encourage active engagement, including “Pause and Think,” “How Do We Know That?,” “In the Clinic,” self-assessment questions, and practical activities.

What’s New in the Sixth Edition

  • Introduces several recurring themes throughout the book, including the complex relationship between tumors and their surrounding microenvironment, the systemic impact of cancer, and the importance of cellular plasticity and heterogeneity in tumor evolution.
  • Provides broader coverage of modern cancer genomics, including single-cell genomic approaches and spatial transcriptomics, with these developments explored further in the final chapter.
  • Introduces a new “In the Clinic” feature, illustrating how discoveries in cancer biology may be translated into current or future clinical applications.
  • Includes updated information on recently approved cancer therapies and treatment approaches.
  • Adds more primary research findings and important references from the scientific literature, giving readers access to recent experimental evidence.
  • Features an expanded collection of illustrations along with new figure sequences in the enhanced e-book, helping readers visualize and follow molecular processes and signaling pathways over time.

Digital Formats and Learning Resources

The sixth edition is available in several digital formats for both students and educational institutions. The e-book and Science Trove provide convenient mobile access and include a range of additional learning resources, such as multiple-choice questions, audio materials, interactive tools, enhanced navigation features, and supplementary links designed to support learning.
