Reseña del editor

This text provides knowledge of growth factors and their receptors in cancer metastasis. It covers basic cellular and molecular biology of growth factors and their receptors, as well as their role in cancer and cancer metastasis in clinical settings. The book is intended for cancer biologists, cell biologists, geneticists, oncologists, surgeons and physicians. It is also a reference for those who work in the area of cancer research, cancer therapies, cancer care, the pharmaceutical industry, as well as postgraduates and undergraduates.
