Description xi, 378 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Series Princeton series in evolutionary biology Princeton series in evolutionary biology. Contents Age of cancer incidence -- Multistage progression -- History of theories -- Progression dynamics -- Theory I -- Theory II -- Genetics of progression -- Carcinogens -- Aging -- Inheritance -- Stem cells : tissue renewal -- Stem cells : population genetics -- Cell lineage history Summary "This is the only book that presents a full analysis of the age of cancer onset. It is a superb teaching tool and a rich source of ideas for new and experienced researchers. For cancer biologists, population geneticists, evolutionary biologists, and demographers interested in aging, this book provides new insight into disease progression, the inheritance of predisposition to disease, and the evolutionary processes that have shaped organismal design."--BOOK JACKET Notes Formerly CIP.
