Environmental factors along with genetic susceptibility contribute to genetic mutations in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Such combined action gives rise to cancer.

It comprises of intracellular poisons that inhibit cell division and extracellular signals. Some of the side effects of chemotherapy are the damage to healthy cells of the body, myelosuppression, mucositis and alopecia. This book presents the complex subject of chemotherapy in the most comprehensible language. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on cancer treatment have been included in this book. It will be a valuable resource for medical oncologists, oncological surgeons, residents and students alike.
