Springer Genetics of Colorectal Cancer - Springer Cancer Genetics

Explore the molecular foundations of colorectal cancer susceptibility with this comprehensive volume from Springer's Cancer Genetics series. This book examines how genetic variations influence individual risk factors and interactions with environmental exposures including chemicals, radiation, diet, and smoking habits. The text covers essential topics in molecular epidemiology, DNA repair mechanisms, and gene-environment interactions that determine gastrointestinal cancer incidence. Learn about germline susceptibility patterns, Mendelian inheritance models, and the complex pathways linking genetic predisposition to cancer development. Ideal for researchers, clinicians, and students seeking to understand the genetic basis of colorectal cancer and its prevention strategies.
