MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Transforming Growth Factor- ss in Cancer Therapy, Vols. 1 and 2, provides a compendium of findings about the role of transforming growth factor- ss (TGF- ss) in cancer treatment and therapy. The first volume, Basic and Clinical Biology, is divided into three parts. This volume's companion, Cancer Treatment in Therapy, examines transforming growth factor- ss in other developing and advanced cancers and methods of treatment and therapy.
