This is a guide to the role of oncogenes in malignancy. The physician involved in the treatment of cancer should find enlightenment in the presentation of all the important molecular processes, while the scientist can become aware of the clinical relevance of his findings. The first two chapters provide background science by describing the theories of function oncogenes and of their products. Chapters 3 to 10 look at the molecular basis of specific matters of clinical concern: these include the human immunodeficiency virus ...
