Cancer Metastasis: Biologic Basis and Therapeutics
"This text gives renewed attention to the problem of metastasis and its mechanistic basis; it is a timely and important endeavor."Joan Massague, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center"Metastasis is a critical aspect of tumor progression that is receiving substantial interest in the research and clinical arena. Many recent advances have provided fascinating and insightful models of metastasis, which has improved our understanding of the underlying biology as well as revealing further avenues for investigation. As researchers and clinicians coordinate their efforts to find out more about this lethal stage of cancer new therapeutic strategies to target metastatic disease are being developed."Gemma K. Alderton, Senior Editor, Nature Reviews Cancer"Metastasis is the next frontier for cancer researchers and clinicians, and this book can help chart the way to conquer it."Victoria Aranda, Associate Editor, Nature Medicine"As tumor metastasis remains the main cause of cancer-related death, this is  a timely book that brings together scientists and clinicians to address this  issue. An important feature is the way it gives equal emphasis to basic and  clinical research, succeeding in showing how basic research contributes to  better treatment for cancer patients, and how the clinical aspects of  metastasis help direct basic research."Hidayatullah G.
