Understanding Cancer
This is a comprehensive overview of cancer, explaining how it grows and spreads in language that anyone can understand. Written for readers even with no medical background or formal knowledge of biology, it offers a clear description of the abnormal mechanisms underlying the progression of cancer, and contrasts these with the normal growth of cells. Also described are all the major types of cancer and the clinical and scientific features of malignancy. The latest research breakthroughs and advances in treatment--including gene therapy--are discussed. The role of alternative medicine is also summarized. Included are the names and addresses of helpful cancer organizations and many Internet addresses. A glossary of medical and scientific terms is provided.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Every twelve minutes an American woman dies from breast cancer, and an additional four patients are told they have the disease. Second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women overall, it is number one among cancer deaths in women aged 35–54 and the second in women aged 55–74. Putting into perspective the stark reality of breast cancer and the chances of surviving it, this work is a layperson's guide to the disease. Chapters cover the scope of the problem, the causes of breast cancer, how it begins, grows and spreads, and how it looks under the pathologist's microscope (illustrations are provided). Also supplied is information on mammograms and their role in prevention, and on genetics, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, web sites and the improvements one may expect in the near future and those possible in the distant future.

DNA-targeting Molecules as Therapeutic Agents
There have been remarkable advances towards discovering agents that exhibit selectivity and sequence-specificity for DNA, as well as understanding the interactions that underlie its propensity to bind molecules. This progress has important applications in many areas of biotechnology and medicine, notably in cancer treatment as well as in future gene targeting therapies. The editor and contributing authors are leaders in their fields and provide useful perspectives from diverse and interdisciplinary backgrounds on the current status of this broad area. The role played by chemistry is a unifying theme. Early chapters cover methodologies to evaluate DNA-interactive agents and then the book provides examples of DNA-interactive molecules and technologies in development as therapeutic agents. DNA-binding metal complexes, peptide and polyamide–DNA interactions, and gene targeting tools are some of the most compelling topics treated in depth. This book will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in chemical biology, biochemistry, structural biology and medicinal fields. It will also be of interest to supramolecular chemists and biophysicists.
