This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common cancer of the uterus and the only gynecologic malignancy that is increasing in incidence and mortality. Early-stage EC generally has a good prognosis but 5-year survival is poor for those with advanced-stage disease or recurrent disease. This resource provides the latest information on epidemiology, risk factors and diagnosis, including the implications of Lynch syndrome in younger women, and the latest thinking on classification, grading, staging and prognostic risk groups, made possible by major advances in the molecular characterization of EC. The therapeutic implications of these advances are still being discovered and here we outline the latest evidence-based therapies and management of the disease. Table of Contents: • Epidemiology and risk factors • Diagnosis • Grading, staging and prognosis • Molecular characterization • Treatment of early-stage disease • Management of advanced and recurrent disease • Research directions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is unusual among solid tumors in that the majority of affected men die with, rather than of, the disease.

This new edition provides many key updates: • the Gleason grade grouping, which has valuable prognostic value • nomograms to evaluate risk • our rapidly expanding understanding of the genetics and underlying pathogenesis of prostate cancer and the development of genomic tests to help identify those at greatest risk of developing clinically significant disease • the continuing debate about the role of PSA in the screening, detection and monitoring of prostate cancer • advances in imaging techniques, particularly multiparametric MRI, which is improving the accuracy of biopsy and reducing the numbers of negative biopsies • the roles of drugs, surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer at different stages, and our ever-improving understanding of when and how best to intervene, aided by improving understanding of the risk factors for disease progression. Primarily intended for primary care providers, specialist nurses, junior doctors and allied healthcare professionals, this highly readable resource provides a comprehensive overview of prostate cancer, enabling fully informed discussions with patients about this complex disease. Contents: • Epidemiology and pathophysiology • Diet, lifestyle and chemoprevention • Screening and early detection • Diagnosis, staging and prognostic indicators • Management of clinically localized disease • Managing recurrence after initial therapy • Management of metastatic prostate cancer • Management of castrate-resistant prostate cancer • Survivorship and treatment complications

Download or read book Breast Cancer written by Michael Baum and published by Health Press (UK). This book was released on 2002 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an enormous amount of activity in the field of breast cancer research and treatment although progress is not really being made. One of the problems in making progress is that the disease has a very long and unpredictable natural history. Though the underlying biology of breast cancer remains the same, treatments are both culturally dependent and constantly changing. For example, based on the same experimental data more chemotherapy may be offered in the USA than in the UK or Canada. Surgery is also less radical now because the radical regional surgical approach was not a success. In recognizing this we have learned about breast cancer as a systemic disease. The purpose of Fast Facts: Breast Cancer is to sort out the facts from the fallacies and to provide the busy clinician or clinical nurse specialist with rapid access to information that should make their difficult and sensitive task that much easier.
