Biology of Oral Cancer: Key Apoptotic Regulators

by Prakash S. Bisen, Zakir Khan, Saurabh Bundela

Overview

Cancer is a class of disease or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues. One new approach in dealing with cancer is through apoptotic regulators, which is the process of controlling cell growth by abnormally prolonging cell survival, facilitating the accumulation of transforming mutations and promoting resistance. Despite a decline in developed countries, cancer has consistently maintained its status as one of the top killers since time immemorial. Exploring cancer management and treatment at the molecular level, Biology of Oral Cancer: Key Apoptotic Regulators presents a key molecular event-apoptosis-in relation to genesis and progression of oral cancer. This book uses oral cancers as the specific means to demonstrate this technique with this particular type of cancer, which is quite prevalent in India and other parts of Asia.
