Book Synopsis Atlas of Selective Sentinel Lymphadenectomy for Melanoma, Breast Cancer and Colon Cancer by : Stanley P. L. Leong
Download or read book Atlas of Selective Sentinel Lymphadenectomy for Melanoma, Breast Cancer and Colon Cancer written by Stanley P. L. Leong and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlas of Selective Lymphadenectomy for Melanoma, Breast Cancer and Colon Cancer emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach combining the experiences of a nuclear medicine physician, surgeon, and pathologist. This is an important reference also for researchers and clinicians who want to become familiar with sentinel lymph node mapping. The underlying thesis in solid tumor biology is that metastasis in general starts in an orderly progression with lymphatic spread first to the sentinel lymph node (SLN) in the nearest lymph node basin. Therefore, the logical approach is to harvest that specific SLN for thorough analysis.

Book Synopsis Hormone Receptors in Breast Cancer by : Suzanne A. W. Fuqua
Download or read book Hormone Receptors in Breast Cancer written by Suzanne A. W. Fuqua and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hormone Receptors in Breast Cancer provides an up-to-date resource of the role of hormone receptors in breast cancer written in depth for both the basic molecular academic researcher and translational scientist. Advances in basic science of molecular endocrinology have undoubtedly been translated into clinical practice, and clinicians caring for this disease need to be knowledgeable about these developments. The molecular basis of hormone action has been elucidated, and the relative significance of the different estrogen and progesterone receptor isoforms has been explored. This explosion of information has lead to exciting new areas of gene specific targeting of the disease, and breast cancer prevention. Paradigm shifts in treatment options and sequencing have recently occurred in breast cancer management, necessitating close cooperation and communication between translational scientists and physicians. This book is focused on providing this communication.

Book Synopsis The Link Between Inflammation and Cancer by : Angus G. Dalgleish
Download or read book The Link Between Inflammation and Cancer written by Angus G. Dalgleish and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A link between inflammation and cancer has been established many years ago, yet it is only recently that the potential significance of this connection has become apparent. Although several examples of chronic inflammatory conditions, often induced by persistent irritation and/or infection, developing into cancer have been known for some time, there has been a notable resistance to contemplate the possibility that this association may apply in a causative way to other cancers. Examples for such progression from chronic inflammation to cancer are colon carcinoma developing with increased frequency in patients with ulcerative colitis, and the increased incidence of bladder cancer in patients suffering from chronic Schistosoma infection. Inflammation and cancer have been recognized to be linked in another context for many years, i.e., with regards to pathologies resembling chronic lacerations or 'wounds that do not heal.' More recently, the immunology of wound healing has given us clues as to the mechanistic link between inflammation and cancer, in as much as wounds and chronic inflammation turn off local cell-mediated immune responses and switch on growth factor release as well the growth of new blood vessels - angiogenesis. Both of these are features of most types of tumours, which suggest that tumours may require an immunologically shielded milieu and a growth factor-rich environment.
