- More about Cancer through the Lens of Evolution and Ecology
New cancer cells are subject to evolutionary pressures, and this edited book explores how this affects genetic diversity, therapy resistance, immune-cancer cross-talk, fitness landscapes, and interactions within the body. It is a resource for understanding cancer as a disease of multicellularity grounded in evolutionary principles, and researchers are using this knowledge to develop new treatment paradigms.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 194 pages

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Cancer cells are a dynamic and ever-evolving species, subject to the same evolutionary pressures as any other organism in nature. This edited book delves into various themes related to cancer, including:
1. The sources of genetic diversity in cancer cells, such as mutation, epigenetics, and gene expression noise.
2. The influence of scarce resources on cancer therapy resistance.
3. The interplay between predator-prey dynamics and immune-cancer cross-talk.
4. The parallels between cancer cells and niche construction theory.
5. The role of changing fitness landscapes in enabling cancer growth.
6. The interactions between cancer cells within the body.
The book serves as a valuable resource for understanding cancer as a disease of multicellularity rooted in evolutionary principles. By integrating knowledge from cancer biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, researchers are gaining new insights into cancer development and treatment. This timely recognition by oncologists of the importance of evolutionary paradigms in cancer treatment holds the potential for significant breakthroughs in the field.
The book bridges disciplines, showcasing how integrating different fields can lead to innovative perspectives. It features insights from renowned scholars in cancer biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, providing a comprehensive understanding of cancer from various angles. By integrating basic and applied sciences of oncology and evolutionary biology, the book offers a holistic approach to cancer research and treatment.
Overall, this edited book is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of cancer and exploring new avenues for treatment. Its interdisciplinary approach and insights from leading experts in the field make it a must-read for anyone seeking to advance our understanding and combat this devastating disease.
