New Perspectives in Molecular and Clinical Management of Gastrointestinal Tumors

This volume focuses on new and exciting approaches in the molecular and clinical management of gastrointestinal tumors. The first part presents recent insights into carcinogenesis, including alterations in cyclins and adhesion receptors, molecular structures which might be new targets of gene therap...
