Download or read book Minimal Residual Disease in Melanoma written by U. Reinhold and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-10-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge about diagnostic procedures in melanoma has in creased rapidly within the past few years. Single tumor cells have been identified in normal tissue such as sentinel lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and other bodily fluids and cells, by molecular technologies. The introduction of polymerase chain reaction-based methods can be regarded as a prototype of this dramatic development towards molecular approaches in new diagnostic procedures. This fact opens up the possibility of clinical use in patients and of influencing treatment strategies. Considerable discrepancies have been described, how ever, in the success rates of these new techniques for the detec tion of minimal residual disease in cancer patients. Despite fav orable results reported by different groups of investigators, it will take several years to define the clinical and pathophysiological relevance of new diagnostic procedures. The 1st International Symposium "Minimal Residual Disease in Melanoma: Biology, Detection and Clinical Relevance of Microme tastases", held in September 1999 in Homburg/Saar, Germany, fo cused on recent developments in this particular area of cancer re search. The purpose of the meeting was to stimulate discussion and exchange of new data and ideas by renowned international scientists. The aim of this volume is to summarize major topics of basic research and clinical investigations presented by invited experts in this fascinating but still. controversial field of melanoma re search.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 50 Studies Every Urologist Should Know presents key studies that have shaped the practice of urology. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics including reflux disease in paediatric urology, management of male erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms, female urology and stone disease, the various forms of genitourinary cancer, and more. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implications for practice. An illustrative clinical case concludes each review, followed by brief information on other relevant studies. This book is a must-read for healthcare professionals in urology, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.
Download or read book Cellular Cancer Markers written by Carleton T. Garrett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cellular Cancer Markers leading pathologists and physicians review today's most promising cellular cancer markers, an important emerging class of prognostic markers that can be used in the clinical evaluation of cancer patients. The markers reviewed have been chosen because they are biologically relevant to the growth of cells and possess an accurate and reproducible assay for detection. They also are predictors of tumor behavior, are useful in making clinical decisions, and are cost effective. Cellular Cancer Markers provides a status report for markers of tumor cell activation, proliferation, and longevity that makes possible an informed judgment regarding the value of many newly proposed tumor markers. It also offers insight into the latest approaches to diagnosing cancer and an appreciation of how these marker-based tests can clarify the prognosis of cancer.
Download or read book Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia written by Ajay Vora and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from basic biology to supportive care. It offers new insights into the genetic pre-disposition to the condition and discusses how response to early therapy and its basic biology are utilized to develop new prognostic stratification systems and target therapy. Readers will learn about current treatment and outcomes, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy approaches. Supportive care and management of the condition in resource poor countries are also discussed in detail. This is an indispensable guide for research and laboratory scientists, pediatric hematologists as well as specialist nurses involved in the care of childhood leukemia.
Download or read book Cancer Immune Therapy written by Gernot Stuhler and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-12-03 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cure or life with cancer? What can be achieved by cancer immune therapy? The past decade has seen substantial advancements in tumor immunology. Much of the new knowledge has been translated into new strategies for cancer treatment and into clinical trials. Some of these trials herald future breakthroughs, others have been disappointing and have prompted intensive search for alternatives.Major contributors to the field summarize the knowledge on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, critically review the instruments of the immune system that might be exploited for therapy, and discuss the clinical experiences with the different immune therapy concepts. Researchers in the fields of immunology, tumor biology and medicine will highly appreciate this up-to-date volume for evaluating future research activities.
Download or read book Carbon Ion Radiotherapy written by Hirohiko Tsujii and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-25 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a practical guide for the use of carbon ions in cancer radiotherapy. On the basis of clinical experience with more than 7,000 patients with various types of tumors treated over a period of nearly 20 years at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, step-by-step procedures and technological development of this modality are highlighted. The book is divided into two sections, the first covering the underlying principles of physics and biology, and the second section is a systematic review by tumor site, concentrating on the role of therapeutic techniques and the pitfalls in treatment planning. Readers will learn of the superior outcomes obtained with carbon-ion therapy for various types of tumors in terms of local control and toxicities. It is essential to understand that the carbon-ion beam is like a two-edged sword: unless it is used properly, it can increase the risk of severe injury to critical organs. In early series of dose-escalation studies, some patients experienced serious adverse effects such as skin ulcers, pneumonitis, intestinal ulcers, and bone necrosis, for which salvage surgery or hospitalization was required. To preclude such detrimental results, the adequacy of therapeutic techniques and dose fractionations was carefully examined in each case. In this way, significant improvements in treatment results have been achieved and major toxicities are no longer observed. With that knowledge, experts in relevant fields expand upon techniques for treatment delivery at each anatomical site, covering indications and optimal treatment planning. With its practical focus, this book will benefit radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and senior nurses whose work involves radiation therapy, as well as medical oncologists and others who are interested in radiation therapy.
