It begins with the basics of cancer, including the definition, types, etiology and molecular mechanisms involved, before discussing the fundamentals of diagnosis, treatment and associated problems as well as remedial measures. Since cancer is not a single disease, and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis are different for different cancers, it examines the genes and proteins involved in carcinogenesis, and signal transduction pathways for each individual cancer type. Further, the book reviews the latest research on phytochemicals for cancer treatment, highlighting their anti-cancer properties, sources, structure, active biomolecules and probable mechanisms of action, and describing their biochemical properties in the context of cancer prevention and treatment.Cancer researchOncology  PharmacologyGene expressionRadiologyCancer Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001Oncologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33160Pharmacology/Toxicologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007Gene Expressionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12010Diagnostic Radiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29013Cancer research.Oncology  .Pharmacology.Gene expression.Radiology.Cancer Research.Oncology.Pharmacology/Toxicology.Gene Expression.Diagnostic Radiology.614.5999Roy Madhumitaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut872807Datta Amitavaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910350350003321Cancer Genetics and Therapeutics1948501UNINA
