Abstract

The Second Edition of The Oncogene and Tumour Suppressor Gene FactsBook has been completely revised, updated, and expanded by 60%. The book contains more than 80 entries on oncogenes including JUN, MYC, and RAS, as well as DNA tumour viruses, tumour suppressor genes, including p53, retinoblastoma, BRCA1, BRCA2, VHL, F2FL, and essential material on angiogenesis and metastasis, apoptosis, cell cycle control, and gene therapy.

• Includes much new data on this fast-moving field, including newly discovered oncogenes
• Summarizes the clinical association and molecular properties of all known oncogenes and tumor suppression genes
• Contains more than 2000 terms for reference and further research
• Revised to included signaling pathways, apoptosis, and metastasis

"Within minutes of receiving my review copy of The Oncogene FactsBook I discovered just how useful it could be... I could have found the information I needed in a matter of seconds. There is no doubt that every lab working on oncogenes or growth control should have a copy of this book for reference." --TRENDS IN BIOCHEMICAL SCIENCES

Praise for the First Edition: "The introductory chapters on genes and the processes involved in cancer development are very good for undergraduate teaching." --MOLECULAR MEDICINE TODAY
