The broad scope of information presented is used to construct radical new insights into biological self-regulation and explain their relevance to its disruption by cancerous growth and spread within the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechanisms of action of carcinogenic agents, initiation, progression, metastasis, inappropriate gene expression, dormancy, latency, regression, and reasons for susceptibility and\/or resistance to cancer are all considered. Also discussed are criteria for pathological diagnosis, advances in treatment, implications for public health, and pitfalls in diagnosis and interpretation of experimental results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe book describes operational mechanisms of cancer at the levels of whole individual, organ, tissue, cell, molecular, and even atomic (quantum) scales of structural and physiological order. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEvidence is assembled from all these levels of organization to show that cancer is a dynamically changing disorder and that it is an inherent and perpetual risk of multicellular composition. This provides pragmatic new biological and clinical perspectives on malignant neoplasia.  The biological insight is that it is a consequence of progressing miscommunication within a cellular society.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe clinical perspective is realistic but optimistic in reasoning that, although cancer can never be completely eradicated from human life, because it is a disorder of our intrinsic biological constitution, it can be controlled and ameliorated and even cured in a proportion of individuals.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe text is profusely illustrated with over 300 macroscopic and microscopic pictures.
