| Summary: | This handbook - the first of two complementary volumes - presents carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. To this end the subject matter covers theories behind the process of carcinogenesis, the ways in which such compounds are metabolized and interact with DNA and the detection and consequences of adduct formation. Relationships between mutagenesis and carcinogenesis are explored together with methods by which chemicals may be tested for mutagenic or carcinogenic properties and how these effects may be modified. Oncogenes and their activation are considered together with the mechanisms by which their role in carcinogenesis is effected. The volume is of broad interest to toxicologists and pharmacologists and of special appeal to graduate and post-graduate research workers studying carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. It is the first attempt to cover the entire range of carcinogenesis, from epidemiology to the effects of oncogenes on cellular differentiation, and contains excellent contributions from leading scientists. The handbook thus provides specialists in defined areas of cancer research with up-to-date overviews of adjacent areas. |
