Understanding Cancer: From Basics to Therapeutics presents both basic concepts and research prospects in the field of cancer biology. This book summarizes the fundamental aspects of cancer and presents a detailed description of molecular aspects as well as treatment and therapeutics for patients.

The book is divided into three parts: the first part deals with the basics of cancer, including etiology and medical diagnosis; the second part explores the molecular mechanisms associated with cancer, focusing on cell cycle and apoptosis, cell metabolism, gene regulation, epigenetics, and stem cells; and the third part is dedicated to therapeutics, discussing chemo and radiotherapies, gene, hormone, herbal, and immunotherapies.

It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students, and biomedical researchers who need to understand the fundamental topics related to cancer to apply to their research work or clinical setting.

Presents fundamental aspects of cancer in a didactic way to make the content easily applicable by readers
Illustrates the content through detailed images developed by the authors exclusively for the book to facilitate comprehension
Summarizes the content of each chapter with several tables and schematic diagrams for quick consult
