Tumor-host interaction is critical for cancer proliferation and spread. Tumor mass, metastasis, invasion of host tissue, evasion of the host immune response, and tumor drug resistance are all affected by the interaction between the tumor cell and the host. Molecular strategies to interrupt the tumor-host interaction are among the most promising new leads to emerge in cancer pharmacogenomics and oncogenomics in recent years.
This book critically reviews every aspect of this major topic in cancer research. In the opening chapter, Liang and colleagues describe the use of differential display...
