The book provides a unique approach, integrating a wide range of basic bioscience findings with clinico-pathological observations and phenomena encountered in their treatment. As tumors are studied in fairly separate, broad areas, such as basic biological sciences, pathology, oncology, and epidemiology, this book brings together these perspectives, providing an all-inclusive text that benefits all researchers, while also providiTumorsTumors.616.994Bignold Leon P.1947-903920MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827316603321Principles of tumors3974087UNINA
