- The Science of Cancer - a closer look at the cell, genetics, the immune system, tumour markers and monoclonal antibodies.
- Research and Treatment - exploring translational oncology, applying research methodology to cancer research and research ethics relating to cancer.

Written by experienced, practicing healthcare professionals, The Biology of Cancer: Second Edition can easily be applied to patient care.
