Download or read book Bone Cancer written by Dominique Heymann and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2009-08-20 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epidemiological and clinical importance of bone metastasis has long been recognized, but the past decade has seen an explosion in the fields of bone biology and bone cancer research. This period of time has been marked by a number of key discoveries that have led to the opening up of entirely new areas for investigation as well as new therapies which combine surgery and biological therapeutic approaches.Bone is a common site of cancer metastases - cancer cells commonly develop in bone and spread to other organ systems through the bloodstream. For example, the incidence of bone metastases in breast and prostate cancers is 70%, whereas it is only 30 to 40% in metastatic lung cancer. In clinical terms, bone metastases have substantial negative effects on a patient's quality of life and are a main cause of patient mortality. Given the global prevalence of breast and prostate cancers, knowledge of bone biology has become essential for the medical and cancer research communities. This book provides, all in one resource, the most recent data on bone cancer development (cellular and molecular mechanisms), genomic and proteomic analyses, clinical analyses (histopathology, imaging, pain monitoring), as well as new therapeutic approaches and clinical trials for primary bone tumors and bone metastases. Feature - Presents a comprehensive, translational source for all aspects of bone cancer in one reference work - Bone cancer experts (from all areas of research and practice) take readers from the bench research (cellular and molecular mechanism), through genomic and proteomic analysis, all the way to clinical analysis (histopathology and imaging) and new therapeutic approaches. - Clear presentation by bone biologists of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying bone tumors and bone cancer metastasis as well as the genomic and proteomic assays used in detecting cancer within given organ systems - - Clear presentation by oncologists and radiologists of how histopathology, imaging, and pain monitoring can lead to new therapeutic approaches Benefit - Saves researchers and clinicians time in quickly accessing the very latest details on a broad range of bone cancer issues, as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles. - Provides a common language for cancer researchers, bone biologists, oncologists, and radiologists to discuss bone tumors and how bone cancer metastases affects each major organ system - Correct diagnosis (and therefore correct treatment) of cancer depends on a strong understanding of the molecular basis for the disease – both oncologists and radiologists will benefit - Bone biologists will gain insight into how clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research cycle and will, therefore, be able to develop more targeted genomic and proteomic assays

Download or read book Comprehensive Textbook of Clinical Radiology Volume I Principles of Clinical Radiology Multisystem Diseases Head and Neck E book written by Praveen Gulati and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 2319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Textbook of Clinical Radiology is a fully integrated illustrated textbook of radiology to cater for residents and practising radiologists. It is a one-stop solution for all academic needs in radiology. It helps radiologists as a single reference book to gain complete knowledge instead of referring to multiple resources. More than 500 authors, recognized experts in their subspeciality, have contributed to this book. To meet the expectations of clinical radiologists, thorough clinical expertise and familiarity with all the imaging modalities appropriate to address their clinical questions are necessary, regardless of one's favoured subspeciality. To keep the content relevant to them, we have tried to stay upgraded to their level. This book comprises six volumes, which gives information on Radiological Anatomy, Embryology, Nomogram, Normal Variants, Physics, Imaging Techniques, and all the aspects of Diagnostic Radiology including Neuroradiology, Head and Neck, Chest and CVS, Abdomen, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Breast, Musculoskeletal and Multisystem Disorders & related Interventional techniques. It will serve as a primary reference for residents and subspeciality trainees and fellows to facilitate their learning in preparation for their examination, and also the consultant radiologists in their daily clinical practice.This volume is subdivided into three sections. Section 1 covers the principles of clinical radiology and deals with basic to advanced aspects of general radiology. The physics of each imaging modality is described in detail for radiology residents. Principles of pathology, genetics and statistics important for radiologists from research point of view are enumerated. Basic principles of medicine including management of contrast reactions, basic and advanced life support which are important for radiologists in day to day practice are dealt in dedicated chapter. Section 2 covers the multisystem disorders that affect multiple body systems either at the same time or over a period of time. Imaging plays a vital role in identifying the extent of systems involved and also in diagnosis by recognising the pattern of systems involved. The last part of the section deals with the general principles of oncoimaging dealing with multisystem involvement and facilitates easier understanding of this complex subject. The format is ideal for both in-depth knowledge and daily reference. Section 3 covers head and neck imaging, anatomy of neck, techniques of imaging and paediatric neck. In addition, all neck spaces and lymph nodes are discussed with anatomy and pathology with high-quality images and line diagrams. Orbits, temporal bone, sinuses and skull base are included with discussion on imaging anatomy, variants and pathologies. Cancer imaging, PETCT and post-operative imaging are fully discussed along with TNM imaging. Unique chapters on Sleep apnea, Emergency Radiology, Dental imaging, Superficial and trans-spatial lesions and Imaging of all cranial nerves are included.

Download or read book Imaging of Bone Tumors and Tumor Like Lesions written by A. Mark Davies and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection and characterization of bone tumors with imaging remains a big challenge for every radiologist notwithstanding the impressive progress achieved by the introduction of several new imaging modalities. Moreover, new concepts in surgical and oncological treatment of these lesions require from the radiologist appropriate and focused answers to the specifc questions asked by the referring physicians in order to choose the best therapeutic approach for the in- vidual patient. Tis comprehensive textbook describes in detail the possibilities and limits of all moda- ties, including MRI, CT, nuclear medicine and interventional radiological procedures, employed for the modern imaging of tumoral and tumor-like lesions of bone. Teir role in the diagnosis, surgical staging, biopsy and assessment of response to therapy is discussed in detail, covering all tumor subtypes as well as their specifc anatomical location.Well selected and technically imp- cable illustrations strongly enhance the didactic value of this work. I am very much indebted and grateful to the three editors: A. Mark Davies, Murali Sundaram and Steven L. J. James, world authorities in musculoskeletal radiology, for their superb scientifc achievement in preparing and editing this wonderful volume as well as for their individual ch- ters. I would also like to thank the large international group of collaborating authors, who are also widely acknowledged for their specifc expertise in the area of bone tumors, for their outstanding contributions.
