Summary: 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.Summary: 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.
