It examines specific cancer-related genes, such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and discusses inherited syndromes that are associated with cancer, including certain forms of breast cancer. New research into the human genome and the possibility that particular genes confer a susceptibility to cancer are some of the other intriguing topics examined in this book UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0611/2006010415.html ER -
