Handbook of Tumor Syndromes

Handbook of Tumor Syndromes, 1st Edition, provides a detailed guide to conditions marked by inherited and familial cancer susceptibility. The volume explores conditions in which abnormal cell growths extend beyond standard tissue margins and interfere with organ and system performance.

The text addresses nearly 100 specific tumor syndromes selected from more than 300 described in medical literature. It outlines how these disorders differ from sporadic cancers through earlier presentation, multi-organ involvement, distinctive lesion spectra, and impact across multiple family generations.

Featuring contributions from oncologists, clinicians, and specialists, the handbook serves as a reference for students and scholars in medicine, dentistry, pharmacology, nursing, public health, and related biomedical fields.
