Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of books attempts to present, in a comprehensive manner, the field of oncology divided into three major areas; etiology, biology, and therapy. These books should serve as landmarks in the rapidly expanding experimental and clinical "universe" of this field. To some, they will be introductory; to others, a summary; for all, critical comments on the futuI'e of research. In l'ecognition of the difficulties inherent in attempting to pause and reflect while experimental data emerge with ever-increasing rapidity, the presentations take the form of overviews rather than reviews. Where possible, an historical perspective on observations and experimentation which led to our present understanding is presented, the state of the art in technique and approach is reviewed, and the gaps in knowledge and in technique are indicated. The aim throughout is integration-using the findings from one approach for comparison with others. The tremendous expansion of interest in oncology as a medical-biological discipline stimulated the publication of these volumes. This expansion, well warranted in terms of the impact of oncology on human morbidity, has been characterized by at least three phenomena. First, there has been an enormous increase in money and manpower devoted to the investigation and treatment of malignancy. That the research has become more and more "directed" or program-oriented signals the interest of those beyond the scientific community in the management of the eHort. Second, increasing numbers of students are entering the field of oncology as their major training program.

Download or read book The Reticuloendothelial System written by Herman Friedman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive treatise on the reticuloendothelial system is a project jointly shared by individual members of the Reticuloendothelial (RE) Society and bio medical scientists in general who are interested in the intricate system of cells and molecular moieties derived from these cells which constitute the RES. It may now be more fashionable in some quarters to consider these cells as part of what is called the mononuclear phagocytic system or the lymphoreticular system. Nevertheless, because of historical developments and current interest in the subject by investigators from many diverse areas, it seems advantageous to present in one comprehensive treatise current information and knowledge con cerning basic aspects of the RES, such as morphology, biochemistry, phylogeny and ontogeny, physiology, and pharmacology as well as clinical areas including immunopathology, cancer, infectious diseases, allergy, and hypersensitivity. It is anticipated that by presenting information concerning these apparently heterogeneous topics under the unifying umbrella of the RES attention will be focused on the similarities as well as interactions among the cell types constitut ing the RES from the viewpoint of various disciplines. The treatise editors and their editorial board, consisting predominantly of the editors of individual vol umes, are extremely grateful for the enthusiastic cooperation and enormous task undertaken by members of the biomedical community in general and especially by members of the American as well as European and Japanese Reticuloendothe lial Societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of basic research on oncology has been particularly impressive in the recent search for the cause of malignancy. Equally impressive is our appreciation of the cause of tumors based on observation. Even in the earliest era of the study of infectious diseases, it was proposed that tumorous growth in animals and birds resulted from "minute" infectious particles. Experiments then supported the hypothesis, that the etiologic agent in many animal tumors was viral. The development of molecular biology, supported by technical advances and conceptual understanding of macromolecular action, led to an explosive increase in studies of animal oncogenic viruses. For a decade, new findings emerged from research laboratories revealing the enormous variety of such agents, the complex ity of their interactions with cells, and the tantalizingly possible mechanisms by which they might cause malignant transformation of the cell. Repeatedly, clues emerged which suggested the intervention of viral agents in human tumors. A breathless excitement pervaded both the scientific and public communities as highly publicized findings rapidly followed one another. The excitement was no less scientific than it was practical, for implicit in the concept of the viral oncogen is the possibility of specific virostatic or virotoxic agents or of immunization.

This book was released on 2024-03-03 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endometrial cancer, a malignancy originating from the inner lining of the uterus, stands as a significant health concern for women worldwide. This treatise offers an exhaustive exploration of endometrial cancer, weaving together historical context, cutting-edge research, and holistic approaches to both treatment and prevention. Designed for medical professionals, researchers, and patients alike, the content delves deep into the intricacies of the disease, ensuring a thorough understanding for all readers. The treatise begins by tracing the historical evolution of endometrial cancer research, highlighting key milestones and breakthroughs that have shaped our current understanding. This historical perspective sets the stage for a detailed examination of the global epidemiology and demographics of the disease, emphasizing its prevalence, risk factors, and the populations most affected. A deep dive into the anatomy and physiology of the endometrium provides readers with a foundational understanding of its structure, function, and the hormonal dynamics that influence its health. This section is particularly crucial, as it lays the groundwork for understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive cancer development and progression. The heart of the treatise delves into the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer. From DNA mutations and chromosomal aberrations to hormonal pathways and the tumor microenvironment, readers are guided through the complex interplay of factors that contribute to the disease. Special attention is given to the metabolic alterations observed in cancer cells and the role of the immune system in tumor progression. Risk factors and preventative measures are explored in depth, with a focus on both genetic predispositions and lifestyle factors. The treatise emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to prevention, incorporating diet, environmental exposures, and integrative medicine practices. Diagnostic methods, from symptomatic manifestations to advanced imaging techniques and molecular diagnostic tools, are meticulously detailed. This comprehensive overview ensures that readers are well-equipped to understand the nuances of diagnosis, from initial symptoms to confirmatory tests. Treatment modalities form a significant portion of the treatise, covering surgical techniques, radiation, chemotherapy, and emerging therapies like immunotherapy and targeted treatments. The content underscores the importance of personalized medicine, tailoring treatments to the unique genetic and molecular profile of each patient. Post-treatment care and rehabilitation are addressed with equal rigor. From surveillance protocols to physical therapy and nutritional guidance, the treatise offers a roadmap for patients navigating life after treatment. Psychological support, integrative medicine, and mind-body practices are highlighted, emphasizing the importance of holistic care in recovery. Special topics, including endometrial cancer in younger women, aggressive variants, and management in immunocompromised patients, are explored in detail, ensuring that readers are equipped to handle even the most challenging cases.
Download or read book Biology of Tumors Cellular Biology and Growth written by Frederick Becker and published by Springer. This book was released on 1975 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As was shown in the first two volumes of this series, great strides have been made in identifying many of the agents or classes of substances responsible for carcinogenesis and in delineating their interactions with the cell. Clearly, the aim of such studies is that, once identified, these agents can be eliminated from the environment. Yet, despite these advances and the elimination of some important carcinogenic agents, one major problem exists. It is a constant monitor of all oncologic study and diminishes the importance of every experiment and of every clinical observation. As we noted earlier, that problem is our inability to define the malignant cell. It is through studies of the fundamental biology of tumors that we seek this definition. A vast amount of information has been gathered which describes what this cell does and-to a lesser extent-how it does it. But the why evades us. We have been unable to define the malignant cell, save in broad terms by comparing it to its normal counterpart. The major problem appears to be that the malignant cell does so much. It is a chimera, mystifyingly composed of normal activities and structures, of phenotypic schizophrenia with embryonic, fetal, and adult charac teristics and, occasionally, a hint of an unclassifiable capacity unique to malignant cells.

Download or read book Molecular Therapies of Cancer written by Georg F. Weber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular Therapies of Cancer comprehensively covers the molecular mechanisms of anti-cancer drug actions in a comparably systematic fashion. While there is currently available a great deal of literature on anti-cancer drugs, books on the subject are often concoctions of invited review articles superficially connected to one another. There is a lack of comprehensive and systematic text on the topic of molecular therapies in cancer. A further deficit in the relevant literature is a progressive sub-specialization that typically limits textbooks on cancer drugs to cover either pharmacology or medicinal chemistry or signal transduction, rather than explaining molecular drug actions across all those areas; Molecular Therapies of Cancer fills this void. The book is divided into five sections: 1. Molecular Targeting of Cancer Cells; 2. Emerging and Alternative Treatment Modalities; 3. Molecular Targeting of Tumor-Host Interactions; 4. Anti-Cancer Drug Pharmacokinetics; and 5. Supportive Therapies.
