With the acceptance of cancer as a genetic disease, scientists continue to research cancer in genetic and molecular terms. Clarifying the molecular mechanisms of cell division and proliferation and learning the molecular pathways in the cell indicate that more research is needed on molecular structures to be targeted in cancer therapy.
We hope that the book "Cancer Genetics and Molecular Biology" will be a useful resource containing up-to-date information that will benefit scientists who will do research in this field and our students studying in departments such as Medicine, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy and Veterinary.
In the book, cancer epidemiology, carcinogenesis, molecular targets and signaling pathways in cancer, cancer genetics and cytogenetics, genes responsible for cancer, the relationship between cellular aging and cancer, cell death mechanisms and cancer, characteristics of cancer cells, cancer types, angiogenesis, metastasis, immunity, plasticity, topics such as cancer stem cells, biomarkers, ion channels and cancer relationship and multi-drug resistance in cancer are discussed.
