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 second volume, Cancer Treatment in Therapy, is divided into three parts.
The companion volume details the role of TGF- ss on basic and clinical biology.
