Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shares cutting-edge evidence on Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) treatment, delivering facts on breast cancer, gynecologic oncology, and basic research to contribute to clinicians' practices. Each chapter presents the latest clinical techniques, basic experimental results, and the best-chosen research findings. The book is based on the works presented at the Japanese Organization of Hereditary Brest and Ovarian Cancer (JOHBOC) and a special chapter delivers a study based on the extensive data from the Japanese HBOC patients registered in the society's database, presenting novel evidence for further advancement in the field. The practice for HBOC has been rapidly increasing due to the clinical development of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors and the spread of companion diagnostics. In addition, the insurance coverage of a part of HBOC treatment raised social awareness in Japan, and the book illustrates not only clinical efforts but also issues related to the social system and the efforts of the association of related organizations. Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer – Annual meeting of JOHBOC will be of interest to breast surgeons, obstetricians and gynecologists, pancreatic cancer surgeons, and urologists engaged in HBOC treatment through the implementation of companion diagnostics for PARP inhibitors administration. Also, physicians occupied in genetic medicine who perform genetic testing and medical staff practicing HBOC will find this book insightful. It is also for HBOC patients and their families, medical administrators in the social system of HBOC practice. Editors and authors hope to contribute to the equalization and widespread of HBOC practice and serve as a foundation for future advances in the disease's treatment and medical practice.

Download or read book Mesenteric Principles of Gastrointestinal Surgery written by John Calvin Coffey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesenteric-based gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery has been practiced internationally for over a century. However, it is not yet universally adopted, and considerable variations exist. Such variations are explained by the historical disparity that has persisted between anatomic and surgical approaches to the intestinal mesentery. While mesenteric-based surgery is far from new, it is remarkable that its anatomic basis has only recently been formally described. This means that key mesenteric principles of intestinal and colorectal surgery can now be taught, conducted and developed, in an entirely standardised manner. This book is composed of two parts. In this new book surgical anatomy, activities and operations are carefully defined, and beautifully illustrated, to enable all surgeons to conduct mesenteric-based intestinal and colorectal surgery, appropriately and with confidence.

Download or read book Cancer and Aging written by M. Extermann and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is clearly an age-related disease. Recent research in both aging and cancer has demonstrated the complex interaction between the two phenomena. This affects a wide spectrum of research and practice, anywhere from basic research to health care organization. Core examples of these close associations are addressed in this book. Starting with basic research, the first chapters cover cancer development, mTOR inhibition, senescent cells altering the tumor microenvironment, and immune senescence affecting cancer vaccine response. Taking into account the multidisciplinarity of geriatric oncology, several chapters focus on geriatric and oncologic aspects in patient assessment, treatment options, nursing and exercise programs. The book is rounded off by a discussion on the impact of the metabolic syndrome illustrating the interactions between comorbidity and cancer and a chapter on frailty.This book provides the reader with insights that will hopefully foster his or her reflection in their own research and practice to further the development of this most exciting field. Given the aging of the population worldwide and the high prevalence of cancer, it is essential reading not only for oncologists and geriatricians but for all health practitioners.
