Download or read book Fast Facts Lymphoma written by Graham P. Collins and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lymphoma can be broadly defined as a cancer of mature lymphocytes. Our understanding of the biology of normal lymphocytes and lymphoma has grown at a tremendous pace, and this is now directly translating into changes in clinical practice. This became evident with the introduction of one of the first therapeutic monoclonal antibodies into cancer medicine, the CD20-directed antibody rituximab, which has led to significant benefit for patients with B-cell lymphomas. Since then, a raft of novel agents has entered clinical practice, including targeted small molecules, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. This new edition of 'Fast Facts: Lymphoma' has been updated to include recent changes in our understanding of lymphoma biology as well as improvements in diagnostics and therapeutics.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abnormalities of thyroid function rival diabetes mellitus in terms of prevalence and can affect any system in the body. In the UK and North America it is estimated that palpable thyroid nodules are present in 1 in 20 of the population, and in the UK alone 20,000 tests are carried out each year in clinical chemistry laboratories.

Download or read book Lymphoma written by Tim Illidge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cutting-edge collection of readily reproducible molecular techniques to better understand, classify, and treat lymphoma. Among the highlights are methods to use immunoglobulin gene rearrangements as markers of clonality, to exploit patterns of somatic mutation in the variable regions to indicate at which stage transformation occurred, and to apply gene arrays to the question of biological heterogeneity in morphologically similar diseases. Research methodologies that are highly likely to become routine practice in the future, such as DNA microarray and immunoglobulin V-gene rearrangements, and measurement of minimal disease, are included. There are also molecular techniques for providing for producing novel therapeutics, such as a DNA vaccine with patient-specific sequences derived from the lymphoma in question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE PERIPHERAL T-CELL LYMPHOMAS Provides a comprehensive look at Peripheral T-Cell lymphomas, including the group’s unique geographic distribution, underlying genetics, and novel treatments Peripheral T-Cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a diverse group of lymphoid malignancies that develop from mature T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. PTCL represent 10-15% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the US, and up to 20-25% of cases in South America, Asia, and other regions around the world. The role of different etiologic factors and the variation of geographic distribution makes PTCL one of the most difficult types of cancer to understand and treat.
