  Transforming Growth Factor- ss in Cancer Therapy, Vols. 1 and 2, provides a compendium of findings about the role of transforming growth factor- ss (TGF- ss) in cancer treatment and therapy. The first volume, Basic and Clinical Biology, is divided into three parts. Part I presents basic concepts of transforming growth factor- ss signaling in normal physiology and cancer pathobiology. Part II investigates transforming growth factor- ss superfamily members in normal and tumor biology. The final part details transforming growth factor- ss in inflammation and fibrosis. This volume's companion, Cancer Treatment in Therapy, examines transforming growth factor- ss in other developing and advanced cancers and methods of treatment and therapy. Together, Transforming Growth Factor- ss in Cancer Therapy, Vols. 1 and 2, provide researchers and clinicians a comprehensive and cutting-edge reference for the findings about the role of transforming growth factor- ss in biology and cancer treatment.
