This is the second edition of a widely used textbook that
consolidates the basic concepts of the cancer gene theory and
provides a framework for understanding the genetic basis of
cancer. Particular attention is devoted to the origins of the
mutations that cause cancer, and the application of evolutionary
theory to explain how the cell clones that harbor cancer genes
tend to expand. Focused on the altered genes and pathways that
cause the growth of the most common tumors,

Cancer Genetics is aimed at advanced undergraduates who have
completed introductory coursework in genetics, biology and
biochemistry, medical students and medical house staff. For
students with a general interest in cancer, this book provides a
highly accessible and readable overview. For more advanced
students contemplating future study in the field of oncology and
cancer research, this concise book will be useful as a primer.
