It continues to provide a detailed overview of the processes, which lead to the development and proliferation of cancer cells, as well as the techniques available for their study. The book also describes the means by which tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes may be used in the diagnosis and in determining the prognosis of a wide variety of cancers, including breast, genitourinary, lung and gastrointestinal cancer."
