Leading cancer biologists and clinical researchers review the latest basic research and its significance for the molecular biology and genetics of prostate cancer and applications in developing novel therapeutics. Chapters on cancer genetics examine the effect of progress in sequencing and characterizing the human genome and review research on the molecular genetic aspects of prostate cancer. Chapters on cancer biology discuss areas such as the nuclear matrix, cell adhesion molecules, and the roles of tyrosine kinases in prostate cancer cellular signalling. A section on cancer biology is devoted to basic biology and regulatory mechanisms controlling prostate cancer growth and progression.
