While genetics and oncology are both well-developed knowledge areas, their combination in hereditary cancer yields an opportunity for new works that systemize knowledge for current researchers, practitioners, and students. The book exams 371 topics through the lens of hereditary cancer. There are no similar books that presents information in this manner.
This reference work contains a complete list of terms and definitions which can be easily reference by researchers and clinicians working in this field.
- Provides conceptual and factual treatments of 371 topics in hereditary cancer
- Gives quick access to a comprehensive guide on Hereditary Cancer
- Useful reference for researchers and clinicians
Clinicians, oncologists, cancer researchers, geneticists, researchers with an interest in hereditary cancer and cancer genetics, genetic counselors, cancer surgeons, neuro-oncologists, gastroenterologists, internists, and family practitioner
