Cancer The Outlaw Cell Richard Ε. LaFond, Editor An estimated 390,000 Americans will die of cancer this year alone and one out of every four will develop some form of this dread disease within their lifetime. Statistics such as these show the need for a book that will explain our current state of the art in cancer research using simple, straightforward, non-medical language. Cancer — The Outlaw Cell successfully fulfills this need by making the latest advances in cancer research available to the general public in a clear, non-technical style that can be read and understood by both the professional scientist and non-scientist. Written by leading experts at the forefront of their specialties and profusely illustrated in color, this collection of articles covers the great strides that have been made in understanding the causes of cancer, how this disease is spread, cancer as a biochemical problem, and non-surgical modes of therapy.
