Cell & Molecular Biology of Prostate Cancer

Highlights recent advances in genetics, epigenetics, and cell and molecular biology of prostate cancer that have not been covered in books on the market so far.

Cutting edge new information is balanced with background information readily understandable for the newcomer and the experienced prostate cancer researcher alike

Unique approach fills a gap in the literature; there are currently no recent comparable and competitive books of this sort
