The Quest For The Origins Of Cancer
Research into cancer has reached a major turning point. The quality and quantity of information gathered about this disease in the past twenty years has revolutionized our understanding of its origins and behaviour and is profoundly altering the way we diagnose and treat human cancers.
No one is better qualified to comment on these dramatic leaps forward than Robert Weinberg, director of one of the world's leading cancer research centres. In 'One Renegade Cell', he presents an accessible and state-of-the-art account of how the disease begins, the biomedical research that has finally uncovered the forces driving malignant growth, and how, one day, cancer will be cured.
Shortlisted for the Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize.
