Introduction: cell proliferation and carcinogenesis / The cell cycle / Oncogenes and tumour-suppressor genes / Oncogenes and tumour-suppressor genes as prognostic indicators in the development of human tumours / The role of cytokines in tumour progression / Abnormal growth factor networks in neoplasia / The fibroblast growth factor family: multifunctional regulators of cell proliferation / The potential application and limitation of cytokine/growth factor manipulation in cancer therapy / Neuropeptide growth factors: signalling pathways and role in cancer / Hormonal regulation of cancer cell growth / L. Pusztai and K. Cooper -- V. Sorrentino -- M. A. Piris, M. Sanchez-Beato, R. Villuendas and J. C. Martinez -- J. K. Field and D. A. Spandidos -- M. S. Naylor and F. R. Balkwill -- E. Tahara, W. Yasui and H. Yokozaki -- W. H. Burgess and J. A. Winkles -- M. Okada and T. Kishimoto -- E. Rozengurt -- H. Wasan and J. Waxman -- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Retinoids in neoplasia / Metastasis: secondary proliferation in distant organs / Apoptosis: a role in neoplasia? / Cell differentiation and its role in carcinogenesis and therapy / S. A. Ross, L.-C. Chen, N. Darwiche and L. M. De Luca -- D. Tarin -- C. D. Gregory -- R. A. Rifkind, J. Michaeli, V. M. Richon, H. Kiyokawa, X. Busquets, L. Leng and P. A. Marks. 11. 12. 13. 14.
This book comprises a number of state-or-the-art reviews written by leading scientists. Each chapter gives a concise overview of specific intra- and intercellular events which regulate the proliferation of neoplastic cells, and the established or potential clinical implications of these developments. The topics have been selected to cover major recent advances in our understanding of the molecular events which govern cell division. It is expected that students, scientists, and clinicians working in the fields of oncology, pathology, and molecular/cellular biology would find this volume invaluable as a stimulating source of information.
