Abstract
The study of oncogenes and their potential role in human neoplasms represents a fascinating and exponentially growing research area and one which has only in recent years become amenable to molecular biological investigations. This book is organized around the impressive body of knowledge which has accumulated on the molecular biology of growth factors, differentiation factors and cytokines. If one considers cancer as a disease caused by the perturbed growth control of the affected cell, the interrelationship between oncogenes and growth factors becomes apparent.
