Cancer Genetics demonstrates how cancer cells differ from normal cells in structure and function. It examines specific cancer-related genes, such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and discusses inherited syndromes that are associated with cancer, including certain forms of breast cancer. New research into the human genome and the possibility that particular genes confer a susceptibility to cancer are some of the other intriguing topics examined in this book.

Causes of Cancer delves into the many factors responsible for causing cancer. This book also highlights how avoiding exposure to particular carcinogens may prevent certain forms of cancer.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer helps readers understand the nature of cancer and the different types of cancer by explaining the various methods used to detect and diagnose the disease.

"Testicular Cancer" explores the various forms of the disease, discusses its detection, diagnosis, and treatment, and gives an overview of current clinical and laboratory research. This relatively rare form of cancer is seen most often in young men in their late teens, 20s, and 30s. The disease, which once killed most patients, now has a survival rate greater than 90 percent, making it one of the success stories in the history of cancer treatment. Important historical research breakthroughs in the fight against testicular cancer are highlighted, as well as important questions and challenges...

Biology for the Informed Citizen by Donna M. Bozzone and Douglas S. Green, more than any other non-science majors biology book, helps student connect the concepts of biology to the consequences of biology - the consequences that students can and should see in every facet of their lives, if only trained to identify them. This text aims to teach the concepts of biology, evolution, and the process of science so students can apply their knowledge in their everyday lives as informed consumers and users of scientific information.
