Contents:

1.Moon children -- 2.How were cancer genes discovered? -- 3.Oncogenes -- 4.Tumor suppressors -- 5.Chromosomal abnormalities and cancer -- 6.Inherited genes that can cause cancer -- 7.How many genetic mistakes are needed to produce cancer? -- 8.Future hopes, challenges, and questions.

Summary: Cancer Genetics demonstrates how cancer cells differ from normal cells in structure and function. It examines specific cancer-related genes, such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and discusses inherited syndromes that are associated with cancer, including certain forms of breast cancer. New research into the human genome and the possibility that particular genes confer a susceptibility to cancer are some of the other intriguing topics examined in this book.
