Features: Malignant tumors still severely endanger people's physical health. The reasons are that the etiology and pathogenesis are not yet clear, making early prevention and treatment difficult. Strengthening basic theoretical research on tumors plays a crucial role. In recent years, biomedical basic research has developed rapidly, providing many insights and data for fundamental tumorology. This book is divided into 16 chapters, including general discussions, an introduction to research methods in tumor cell biology, an introduction to research methods in tumor molecular biology, oncology, cell signal transduction, growth factors, and tumors, apoptosis and tumors, tumor etiology, the biological characteristics of tumors and their impact on the body, the basic principles of pathological diagnosis of tumors, tumor immunology, tumor markers and their applications, experimental tumor models, cell cycle regulation and abnormalities in tumors, preclinical tests for anticancer drug sensitivity/resistance, transgenic mouse technology and gene targeting technology in tumor research, and gene chips and bioinformatics in tumor research. This book strives to provide novel content, concise descriptions, clear figures and tables, and extensive references, making it suitable for reference or as a textbook for graduate students and teachers in medical fields, clinical physicians in various disciplines, oncologists, pathologists or pathophysiology teachers and graduate students.
