More About This Title Advances in Neuroblastoma Research 4

  • English

English

The search for effective treatment of neuroblastoma has stimulated an enormous increase in research, conducted in order to achieve a better understanding of the cellular and genetic basis of this unique class of tumor in children and adults. Providing a broad and comprehensive examination of recent advances in this field, this volume focuses on basic and clinically-related laboratory research, with a concentration on molecular genetics, cell biology, differentiation and innovative therapies.
