This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pancreatic cancer remains a dismal disease with an incidence that is on the rise even in a low incidence region like India. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the understanding of pancreatic cancer largely due to strides in modern molecular biology, pathology and radiology. While molecular biology continues to provide an optimistic vision for future treatment approaches to this deadly disease, the recent identification of PanIN’s and resection margins in pancreatic cancer have important implications for current day-to-day practice. This book explains how better understanding of IPMN and its management has improved the scope of pancreatic tumors. It also explains what role do heat shock proteins perform in cancer. The book gives concise description on how a number of important advances have made pancreatic pathology an exciting and rapidly advancing field. There are chapters that explain how good endoscopic ultrasound is in detection of cancer pancreas and also talk about experimental studies on obstructive jaundice and biliary drainage. Neo-adjuvant strategies in operable pancreatic adenocarcinomas are also being explained in detail. It is sincerely hoped that this book will update the busy clinician as well as the academician on various aspects of current importance in management of pancreatic cancer. Understanding the role of IPMN in improving the scope of pancreatic tumors Describing performance of heat shock proteins in cancer Throwing some light on usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound in detecting cancer pancreas Getting an insight into neo-adjuvant strategies in operable pancreatic adenocarcinomas

Download or read book Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases written by P. Rutgeerts and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-12-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease remain a great therapeutic challenge to the medical community. In recent years knowledge about the pathogenesis of these diseases has progressed rapidly but the cause of the diseases remains completely unknown. It has become clear that dysregulation of the mucosal immune system is the basis for the chronic evolution of the diseases in a genetically susceptible population. Exciting new therapeutic approaches have been attempted in the last couple of years and cytokine and anti-cytokine treatments in particular seem very promising, especially in intractable disease. The format of the Falk Symposium 106 on `Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases', held in Brussels, Belgium, June 18-20, 1998, was somewhat innovative as each session attempted to link the new insights into pathogenetic mechanisms with new therapeutic approaches, resulting in optimal information transfer. The classic therapeutic schemes were updated with a special focus on step-wise build-up of therapy.
