Molecular biology and clinical applications to cancer
Abstract
New insights into the genetic changes associated with cancer, the genetic control of programmed cell death, and the availability of new tools to study biologic problems including targeted gene disruption and quantitative polymerase chain reaction have defined new questions and allowed more sophisticated answers in studies of fundamental cellular processes. The development of new approaches in the clinic, including nascent gene therapies, is rapidly evolving.
