Pre-Invasive Disease: Pathogenesis and Clinical Management

  • In an era in which preventive medicine is a major concern for consumers, health-policy makers and politicians pre-invasive disease is likely to become a major part of cancer medicine.

  • There are a wide range of issues which need to be discussed in order to bring advances in our understanding to the clinic.

  • It is hoped that this monograph will be a valuable source of information for all those interested in the field.

About this book

This book is written by International experts in their field and should appeal to students and seasoned researchers, to scientists and to clinicians. No prior knowledge of the topic is required to appreciate this text and yet the book charters new territory. New perspectives are given on how our knowledge of cancer development might lead us to reconsider our clinical approach to early detection and prevention of cancer at an individual and population level.
