‘The Physics of Cancer Volume 6 (Second edition)’ book focuses on the topics of extracellular vesicular communication of cancer cells with their environment, such as matrix networks and neighbouring cells like immune and stromal cells, the role of autophagy in cancer and the dual function of mast cells in solid tumors in relation on immune regulation and mechanobiology. There is a rich history of the physical sciences contributing to cancer research and treatments, yet there is currently no such book that covers all of the new techniques and developments in the field of the physics of cancer. The purpose of this book is to make these very relevant topics visible to the research field to ensure they receive more attention in the scientific community.

Key Features:

  • Sixth volume of the author's 'Physics of Cancer (Second Edition)' books, a highly regarded series.

  • Comprises chapters that have been designed as self-contained units.

  • Written by a widely respected expert in the physics of cancer field.

  • Includes research findings that have been presented in numerous peer-reviewed journal articles.

  • Contains extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.
