More than fifty specialists have contributed to the new edition of volume 5 of the Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

The aim of this book is to provide a general introduction, for the specialist and for students, to the whole field of cancer research. After a general introduction describing the pathology and natural history of the disease, each section gives a more detailed, but nevertheless general summary of its particular area, giving principles rather than a mass of information. Each chapter gives a list for further reading, and there is an extensive glossary. Each topic is discussed by an acknowledged expert who is able to give an authoritative review, but one which is aimed to be comprehensible to the non-expert. The book should give a wider understanding of the practical problems of cancer treatment and research, and indicates the areas in which exciting new developments are taking place and how the application of scientific technology may lead to the solution of many problems in cancer biology. The second edition expands in the areas in which there have been rapid advances in knowledge, especially from the application of new technology. In particular the chapters on genetic and chromosomal changes, growth factors, immunotherapy, and epidemiology have been expanded, and new information on viral and chemical carcinogenesis added. The lists of references and books and articles for further reading have also been updated, as has the glossary. For this second edition many of the illustrations are new or have been redrawn. Comments and criticisms from readers and reviewers have been taken into account in revising the text. (view table of contents)
