Encyclopedia of Cancer (3rd Ed.)
Rédacteurs en Chef : Boffetta Paolo, Hainaut Pierre
Encyclopedia of Cancer, Third Edition, Three Volume Set provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the multiple facets of the disease, including research, treatment and societal impact. This new edition comprises 180 contributions from renown experts who present the latest in Mechanisms, Hallmarks of Cancer, Causes of Cancer, Prevention and Control, Diagnosis and Therapy, Pathology and the Genetics of specific Cancers. Readers will find a comprehensive overview of the main areas of oncology, including etiology, mechanisms, prevention, and treatments, from basic science to clinical applications and public health, all set alongside the latest advances and hot topics that have emerged since the previous edition.
Topics of interest in the field, including genomics and epigenomics, our understanding of the causes of cancer and the approaches to preventing it (e.g., HPV vaccination, role of obesity and nutrition, molecular markers of environmental exposures), new screening techniques (e.g., low-dose CT for lung cancer) and improvements in the treatment of many cancers (e.g., breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma) are comprehensively and authoritatively presented.
Mechanisms (edited by Gerd Pfeifer) Hallmarks of Cancer (edited by Marco Pierotti) Causes of Cancer (edited by Graham A. Colditz) Prevention and Control (edited by Carlo La Vecchia) Diagnosis and Therapy (edited by Marco Pierotti and Thomas Tursz) Pathology and Genetics of Specific Cancers (edited by Fred Bosman)
The encyclopedia is an essential resource for Oncologists; cancer researchers; oncology fellows in training; students and researchers in biology and epidemiology. Because of the breadth and depth of the work, medical doctors other than oncologists and other cancer-related medical professionals will also benefit.
Dr. Boffetta is Adjunct Professor at the Harvard School of Public Health (Boston, MA), Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN), and the Catholic University of Rome (Italy). He is also Affiliate Member of the R.

Pierre Hainaut (born 1958, Belgium) is PhD in Biology, University of Liège, Belgium, 1987. After postdocs in France and in the UK (1988-1994), he joined the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, World Health Organization) in 1994, where he held the post of head of Molecular Carcinogenesis from 1999 to 2011. In 2012, he joined the International Prevention Research Institute as Research Director. Since 2014, has been appointed as Professor of Cancer Biology and Chair of Excellence in Translational Research at Université Grenoble Alpes, France. Since October 2014, he is Director of the Institute of Advanced Biosciences (formerly Institut Albert Bonniot), a multi-thematic research center supported dedicated to Epigenetics, Chronic Diseases and Cancer (17 research teams). His research focuses on TP53 mutations and on biomarkers of transition from chronic diseases to cancer. From 1994 to 2011, he has led the development of the international IARC database of TP53 mutations, a source of information on the causes and consequences of mutations affecting the p53 suppressor protein in cancer. His current research focuses on gain-of-function effects in lun
