Biomechanics in Oncology

About this book

Describes how mechanical properties of cancer cells, the extracellular matrix, tumor microenvironment,  and fluid flow dynamics contribute to tumor progression and the metastatic process

Provides the latest research on non-invasive imaging

Includes insight into NCIs' role in supporting biomechanics in oncology research

Details how biomaterials in mechano-oncology can be used as a means to tune materials to study cancer
