Case Studies in Cancer

A case-based approach to cancer biology

Cancer is the focus of intense clinical and scientific interest. This research increasingly leverages our understanding of molecular biology for the development of targeted therapeutics. Well-selected case studies provide an opportunity to explain specific examples of cancers and their management in the context of engaging, patient-centered cases. This text is a clinical companion for Weinberg’s The Biology of Cancer. However, it includes sufficient background and explanatory detail to be used on its own.
