Thanks to dramatic advances in genome sequencing, never before have we known so much about the individual cancer cell--and yet it is still unclear how to use this knowledge for treatment success. In this volume, leading researchers argue for a new theory framework for understanding and treating cancer. The contributors propose a complex systems view of cancer, presenting conceptual building blocks for a new research paradigm supported by empirical evidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors first discuss the new research framework in terms of theoretical foundations and then take up the relevance of a systems approach, reviewing such topics as nonlinearity, recurrence after treatment, the cellular attractor concept, network theory, and noncoding DNA--the \"dark matter\" of our genome. They address the temporality of cancer progression, drawing on evolutionary theory and clinical experience. Finally, they cover the dominant role of the tissue microenvironment in cancer, analyzing topics including altered metabolic pathways, the disease-defining influence on metastasis, and the interconnectedness of different environmental niches across levels of organization.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernhard Strauss is Senior Research Associate in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarta Bertolaso is Associate Professor of Philosophy of Science in the Faculty of Engineering at Università Campus Bio-Medico in Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIngemar Ernberg is Professor of Tumor Biology at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor, and Cell Biology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMina J.
