Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts from the breast cells. Some of its common symptoms are formation of lump in the breast, dimpling of breast skin, and changes in the size and appearance of the breast. There are many different types of breast cancer such as ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive lobular carcinoma, angiosarcoma, Paget's disease of the breast and inflammatory breast cancer. Factors such as obesity, lack of physical exercise, alcoholism, hormone replacement therapy during menopause, and ionizing radiation may result in the development of breast cancer. It can be diagnosed with the help of biopsy. The treatment of breast cancer involves performing surgery, prescribing medications, and therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. A number of latest researches have been included in this book to keep the readers updated with the latest concepts related to the biological and clinical progress in breast cancer. It is an excellent resource guide for oncologists as well as students.
Download or read book Breast Cancer Biological and Clinical Progress written by L. Dogliotti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight against breast cancer is expected to be effectively stimulated by interdisciplinary approaches and cross-fertilization between laboratory and clinical research findings. Of major importance are therefore meetings promoting fast transfer to clinical applications of findings by basic scientists. The present volume, reporting the proceedings of the 1991 Biennial Conference of the International Association for Breast Cancer Research, hopes to achieve this goal by presenting the most recent observations in the laboratory and their possible applications for diagnostic evaluations and clinical treatments. The sections of the book focus first on the oncogenes more likely involved in mammary tumorigenesis and on the polypeptide factors and steroid hormones affecting proliferation and possibly inducing carcinogenesis in breast epithelium. A section is devoted to the epidemiological studies and to the identification of risk factors, a way to select populations at higher risk and, possibly, to help in preventing the disease. Special emphasis is given to the establishment of diagnostic criteria and to the selection of prognostic factors, which must support an effective therapeutic planning. It is our hope that this volume, a timely update of the most recent advances in specific fields presented by basic scientists, pathologists and clinicians will stimulate new insights and progresses leading ultimately to the control of breast cancer.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective control of breast cancer depends on three types of research accomplishment -- understanding the disease's origins and progression: successfully applying this knowledge to methods of detection, diagnosis and treatment: and finding ways to make these advances truly available to the public as effectively as possible. The significant progress that is occurring across this entire spectrum of pioneering investigation is reflected in these proceedings of the 1987 biennial conference of the International Association for Breast Cancer Research. The first section of the book focuses on oncogenes and chemical effectors that may play key roles in early cell transformation leading to breast cancer. Research discussed includes identification of specific oncogenes which appear to be involved in the disease, study of their activation and expression, examination of the biological effects of various growth factors isolated from breast cancer cell lines, and investigation of the molecular mechanisms by which estrogens promote and stimulate growth of breast cancers. The second group of chapters deals with several other complex factors and phenomena which may influence tumor formation in the breast, for example, expression of abnormalities by fibroblasts, disruption of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, and loss of ability nili to synthesize normal basal lamina resulting in alterations in the extracellular matrix. Clarification of the processes of normal mammary gland development and differentiation is central to much of this work.

Download or read book Current Advances in Breast Cancer Research A Molecular Approach written by Shankar Suman and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is a recognized disease around the world with varying patient outcomes based on the type of breast cancer, access to healthcare and other factors. Survival rates for breast cancer are significantly lower in metastatic cases than localized cases. Early diagnosis and effective treatments for the efficient management of breast cancer are now in demand , as they help to prolong patient life. There have been many breakthrough developments in the molecular biology of breast cancer research in recent times. Advancements in diagnostic techniques (imaging and biomarker detection) for breast cancer have improved the screening of the disease and have improved patient outcomes. Despite these enhancements, the disease is still lethal for patients and the search for a cure requires a complete understanding of the disease. Current Advances in Breast Cancer Research: A Molecular Approach presents a comprehensive overview of current basic and translational research on the subject. The 14 chapters of the book give emphasis to current knowledge about breast cancer, ongoing challenges, and innovative research findings by different research groups. Readers will find detailed information about breast cancer biology, genetics, clinical diagnostics and treatments. Additional information for advanced readers in life sciences, such as techniques relevant to genomics (including genetic fingerprinting), proteomics, metabolomics and medicine (such as imaging and molecular diagnostics) is also provided. The combination of both basic and advanced information makes this book a useful reference to the student and researcher, alike, seeking an understanding about breast cancer at a molecular level.

This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In breast cancer as in other cancers on the front line of modern interdisciplinary research we have crossed the threshhold of new understanding. Fueled by an awareness that breast cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women and honed by rapid technological advances in molecular mechanisms, major inroads into the darkness of this scourge have been accomplished during the past several years. Basic laboratory and clinical research findings must influence and in turn be influenced by efforts to detect, to diagnose and to cure the human disease. It is indeed gratifying to note that the efforts of scientists and clinicians from throughout the world reported in this volume are achieving this objective. The first section of the book focuses on the molecular and genetic basis of breast cancer. The role of specific oncogenes in mammary tumorigenesis using transgenic mice and mammary glands correlating molecular events with specific stages in neoplastic development are described and discussed. Such topics as the nature of specific oncogenes, levels of oncogene expression, the alteration of expression of other growth regulatory genes and the state of the cell in which the oncogene is expressed are specifically addressed. This section of the book is rounded out with discussions on the potential of genetic alterations as indicators of prognosis, the characterization of full-length cDNA codes for breast cancer markers and the function of antigens in tuomorigenesis.

Download or read book Primary Medical Therapy for Breast Cancer written by Anthony Howell and published by Elsevier Science Limited. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European School of Oncology (ESO) is a non-governmental, non profit-making organisation, which was founded in 1982. The rate of progress in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of cancer is so rapid that oncologists need continuous updating in order to provide their patients the best chances for palliation or cure. ESO recognises the multi-disciplinary nature of cancer treatment, and its activities encompass all medical, nursing and technical specialities dealing with neoplastic diseases. One of the many initiatives of ESO has been the institution of task forces, where leading experts exchange views on the state-of-the-art of a given field, discuss controversies, new developments, and give opinions on future directions. The Scientific Updates are a series of books designed to disseminate the full results of such discussions. The Breast Cancer Task Force of the European School of Oncology met at Runnymede, near London, in January 1999. The aim of this session was to review the clinical and biological data related to the use of primary medical therapy in breast cancer. Primary medical therapy has been with us for over 20 years now, so it was thought to be of value to bring together many of the leading investigators in the area. This allowed us to produce a summary of the current status of primary medical therapy, as outlined in this volume, and to discuss new approaches which are required to progress primary medical therapy in breast cancer patients.
Download or read book Translational Research in Breast Cancer written by Erwei Song and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive introduction to translational efforts in breast cancer, addressing the latest approaches to precision medicine based on the current state of understanding of breast cancer. With the latest developments in breast cancer research, our understanding of the genomic changes and the oncogenic signaling cascade of breast cancer has made considerable strides. Further, the immuno-environment has been demonstrated as the barrier to clinical cancer. In addition, major advances in cancer biology, immunology, genomics and metabolism have broken new ground for designing therapeutic approaches and selecting appropriate treatments on the basis of more precise information on the individual patient. As a result of these two trends, a clearer picture of the molecular landscape of breast cancers has facilitated the development of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers for clinical oncology. All these aspects are addressed in this volume, which offers a comprehensive resource for researchers, graduate students and oncologists in cancer research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer continues to be the focus of intense basic and clinical research. In Valurne 1 of this series we dealt exclusively with topics concerned with therapy. In the present Valurne 2, we turn our attention to the experimental biology which is the foundation for our understand ing of problems concerned with breast cancer etiology, mechanisms of hormone action, cell kinetics, experimental chemotherapy, and markers of tumor burden. The contributors to the volume are all noted scholars who are personally investigating these problems. The first chapter addresses the question, do hormones cause breast cancer? Segaloff provides us with a rational up-to-date overview of the existing data. He concludes that hormones by themselves are not tumor initiators but rather alter the hast environment so that other carcinogens are effective. lt is pointed out that the selection of the modeltest system is critical; one can almost assure any desired result by choosing an ap propriately biased test system. The question of the role of viruses in the etiology of human breast cancer remains unanswered despite elegant studies in mause systems.
