Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first authoritative overview on modern cancer chemotherapy 121 international specialists have contributed their experience and recent data for what is likely to become the gold standard in the field. The authors summarize knowledge gained over the past decade, from basic concepts to successful applications in the clinic, covering active and passive targeting strategies as well as tissue-specific approaches. All current and future targeted delivery systems are discussed, from ligand-based to antibody-based polymer-based systems, right up to micro- and nanoparticulate systems. A special section covers the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics, such as siRNA, miRNA and antisense nucleotides. In each case, a description of the basic technique is followed by a discussion of the latest preclinical and clinical developments in the field. By virtue of its clear and didactic structure, rich illustrative material and summary chapters, this handbook and ready reference enables the efficient transfer of knowledge between different disciplines, from basic research to the clinician and vice versa. It is equally well suited for professionals, researchers and students in medical oncology and cancer biology, and is also excellent for teaching medical students the foundations of 21st century cancer chemotherapy.

Provides a fundamental understanding of the basic functions of growth factors and their receptors, describing how they are linked in biological processes Aids the development of therapeutic treatments for cancer Focuses on the interrelationships and convergence of growth factors and their receptors in development and pathogenesis and encourages greater cooperation and integration in the areas of developmental, cancer and cancer therapeutic research
Book Synopsis Cancer as a Metabolic Disease by : Thomas Seyfried
Download or read book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease written by Thomas Seyfried and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-05-18 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.

This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, perhaps no other disease has generated the level of social, scientific, and political discourse or has had the degree of cultural significance as cancer. A collective in the truest sense of the word, "cancer" is a clustering of different diseases that afflict individuals in different ways. Its burdens are equally broad and diverse, from the physical, financial, and psychological tolls it imposes on individuals to the costs it inflicts upon the nation's clinical care and public health systems, and despite decades of concerted efforts often referred to as the "war on cancer", those costs have only continued to grow over time. The causes and effects of cancer are complexâ€"in part preventable and treatable, but also in part unknown, and perhaps even unknowable. Guiding Cancer Control defines the key principles, attributes, methods, and tools needed to achieve the goal of implementing an effective national cancer control plan. This report describes the current structure of cancer control from a local to global scale, identifies necessary goals for the system, and formulates the path towards integrated disease control systems and a cancer-free future. This framework is a crucial step in establishing an effective, efficient, and accountable system for controlling cancer and other diseases.

Book Synopsis The Role of Model Integration in Complex Systems Modelling by : Manish I. Patel
Download or read book The Role of Model Integration in Complex Systems Modelling written by Manish I. Patel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model integration – the process by which different modelling efforts can be brought together to simulate the target system – is a core technology in the field of Systems Biology. In the work presented here model integration was addressed directly taking cancer systems as an example. An in-depth literature review was carried out to survey the model forms and types currently being utilised. This was used to formalise the main challenges that model integration poses, namely that of paradigm (the formalism on which a model is based), focus (the real-world system the model represents) and scale. A two-tier model integration strategy, including a knowledge-driven approach to address model semantics, was developed to tackle these challenges. In the first step a novel description of models at the level of behaviour, rather than the precise mathematical or computational basis of the model, is developed by distilling a set of abstract classes and properties. These can accurately describe model behaviour and hence describe focus in a way that can be integrated with behavioural descriptions of other models. In the second step this behaviour is decomposed into an agent-based system by translating the models into local interaction rules. The book provides a detailed and highly integrated presentation of the method, encompassing both its novel theoretical and practical aspects, which will enable the reader to practically apply it to their model integration needs in academic research and professional settings. The text is self-supporting. It also includes an in-depth current bibliography to relevant research papers and literature. The review of the current state of the art in tumour modelling provides added value.
Book Synopsis Control of Growth Factors and Prevention of Cancer by : Michael B. Sporn
Download or read book Control of Growth Factors and Prevention of Cancer written by Michael B. Sporn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now apparent that several fields of investigation are converging upon each other as the goal of finding a practical way to prevent cancer is pursued. The present monograph represents the efforts of an interdisciplinary ESO Task Force that was convened to assess interactions of peptide growth factors and steroid-like molecules in the prevention of cancer. Each of the participants in the Task Force represents a differentscientific discipline, and the monogrph is intended to be a synthesis of their different approaches to the common problem of cancer prevention. It is hoped that the reader will find this monograph to be of use in the evaluation of both preclinical and clinical approaches to the major issues that face us in chemoprevention. It is clear that prevention of cancer is an idea whose time has come, and the problem now is to implement the most effective approaches toward achieving the desired goals.

Book Synopsis CD44 Mediates Cancer Stem Cell and Macrophage/monocyte Interactions in Head and Neck Cancer Progression Via Stemness to Invasion Switch by : Karina E. Gomez
Download or read book CD44 Mediates Cancer Stem Cell and Macrophage/monocyte Interactions in Head and Neck Cancer Progression Via Stemness to Invasion Switch written by Karina E. Gomez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) at the tumor-stromal interface (TSI) cooperate with cancer stem cells (CSCs) to maintain stemness. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying crosstalk between TAMs and CSCs in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) remains largely unknown. I found that CD44, a surface marker defining HNSCC CSCs, mediates cancer cell/TAM interaction via regulation of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and intracellular PI3K-4EBP1-SOX2 signaling. IHC analysis of HNSCC patient samples suggests that TAMs at the TSI serve two functions: 1. supporting CSC stemness and cancer cell growth and 2. aiding cancer cell invasion. Using in vitro co-culture spheroid model systems, I identified molecular mechanisms driving each process. To promote growth, TAMs increase cancer cell CD44s/HAS2 expression and increase HA availability for HA-CD44 interaction and PI3K-4EBP1-SOX2 signaling activation. To influence invasion, TAMs promote CD44-VCAM-1 association on cancer cells and thereby increase mobility via Ezrin/PI3K. Using in vivo human HNSCC and mouse SCC models, I confirmed the importance of CD44 and TAMs to tumor growth and stemness. Furthermore, I found the phenotypic changes between my stemness/growth-promoting and invasion-promoting in vitro models to be linked by HA in a two-stage tumor progression model and that a Zeb1/ESRP1/HAS2/CD44 feedback loop may dictate a CD44 isoform expression switch that regulates cancer cell plasticity and function in HNSCC. Thus, I establish a mechanistic link between tumor cell CD44, TAMs, and CSC properties at the TSI, supporting establishment of dual-targeted stroma/tumor cell therapies that may result in more effective outcomes in patients.
Book Synopsis Personalized Medicine in Oncology by : Ari VanderWalde
Download or read book Personalized Medicine in Oncology written by Ari VanderWalde and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere is the explosion in comprehensive genomic testing more evident than in oncology. Multiple consensus guidelines now recommend molecular testing as the standard of care for most metastatic tumors. To aid in the advancement of this rapidly changing field, we intend this Special Issue of JPM to focus on technical developments in the genomic profiling of cancer, detail promising somatic alterations that either are, or have a high likelihood of being, relevant in the near future, and to address issues related to the pricing and value of these tests.The last few years have seen the cost of molecular testing decrease by orders of magnitude. In 2018, we saw the first “site-agnostic” drug approvals in cancer (for microsatellite unstable cancer (PD-1 inhibitors) and NTRK-fusions (TRK inhibitors)). Research on targetable mutations, determination of genetic “signatures” that can use multiple individual genes/pathways, development of targeted therapy, and insight into the value of new technology remains at the cutting edge of research in this field. We are soliciting papers that present new technologies to assess predictive biomarkers in cancer, original research (pre-clinical or clinical) that demonstrates promise for particular targeted therapies in cancer, and articles that explore the clinical and financial impacts of this paradigmatic shift in cancer diagnostics and treatment.

Book Synopsis Pathway-based Modeling and Diagnosis of Cancer Development and Progression by : Han-Yu Brook Chuang
Download or read book Pathway-based Modeling and Diagnosis of Cancer Development and Progression written by Han-Yu Brook Chuang and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of whole-genome expression profiling technology has made it possible to identify transcriptional dysregulation that contribute to or result from disease mechanisms and can also serve as biomarkers for disease. However, expression-alone classification can be challenging in complex diseases due to factors such as genetic heterogeneity across patients or noise in mRNA levels. Moreover, it remains unclear how these marker genes interrelate within a larger functional network. We propose a novel approach to integrate gene expression with protein interactions to dissect cancer development and outcome. The new prognostic markers are not individual genes or proteins, but as sets of coherently expressed genes whose products interact within a larger human protein interaction network. In breast cancer, we show that this integrated strategy predict the risk of metastasis potential more accurately than previous approaches based only on gene expression. More than being more reproducible and robust, our network markers also give molecular models for how the cancer susceptibility genes might be associated with cancer metastasis. We next apply this network-based analysis to develop a new system for accurately stratifying patients of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at different risk levels of disease progression. The network markers represent an array of disease pathways whose expression converge over time among patients regardless their initial risk levels, implicating novel understanding for cancer evolution and for the development of treatment strategies. Besides incorporating protein interaction network into gene expression analyses, we also identify condition-responsive genes within canonical pathways to infer dysfunctional pathway activation. Contrast to methods based on static pathway knowledge, our dynamic pathway markers lead to better clinical performance for various cancers, including leukemia, prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. Another way to address the difficulties seen in gene expression studies is to obtain direct measurement of protein levels and states by quantitative mass spectrometry. We develop a method to select protein markers based on the change in expression relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements across experimental replicates. In CLL disease progression, our protein markers are shown to be involved in the same pathways and more prognostic of newly diagnosed patients. We further discuss strategies for targeted proteomic profiling with the guidance of protein interaction networks.
