Molecular Biology and Oncology

This is a complete summary of all chapters in the book The Biology of Cancer. I have incorporated the material from lectures and workgroups into this. It also includes setting up pictures and research that you need during the exam. I myself kept this document with me during the exam. Thanks to this summary, I did not have to open the book in the exam room.

This document is a comprehensive summary of all the chapters in Weinberg's The Biology of Cancer that must be read for the course Molecular Biology and Oncology in Leiden.
