Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merkel cell carcinoma is an uncommon but not rare aggressive cutaneous malignancy. It has many similarities to melanoma, particularly in the need for aggressive multidisciplinary treatment, but far less is known about this disease by most practicing physicians. This book summarizes all of the existing knowledge about Merkel cell carcinoma and provides a much-needed perspective on future opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic advances. It offers practical “how to” advice on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and also insight into how to establish a multidisciplinary Merkel cell carcinoma clinic. In addition, it will serve as a unique resource for trainees (medical students, residents and fellows) as well as for Merkel cell carcinoma patients and their advocates and caregivers. There is currently no such textbook, even an outdated one, covering this topic./a

Book excerpt: Navigating the Labyrinth of Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Compendium of Insights and Discoveries offers an unparalleled collection of scientific journal articles focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing research concerning Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). This rare yet aggressive skin cancer, often affecting the elderly and immunocompromised individuals, demands a nuanced understanding of its pathology and interdisciplinary management. The book begins with compelling case studies, such as the efficacious use of radiation monotherapy in treating unresectable tumors. It further explores innovative diagnostic tools, including the emerging role of microRNAs as biomarkers for early detection and prognosis. The collaboration across medical specialties is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing MCC. With contributions discussing advanced immunotherapeutic strategies, the abscopal effect in radiation therapy, and the potential of targeted molecular treatments, the compilation also addresses the challenges of resistance and the limitations of current chemotherapy protocols. This comprehensive collection not only illuminates the strides made in MCC research but also sets the stage for future scientific inquiries, offering hope and insights for clinicians and researchers dedicated to combating this formidable cancer. Quality Research Publishing is dedicated to making knowledge more accessible to the general public by curating a topical compilation of the latest research on various subjects and providing plain language summaries. Each of the articles in this book is available individually and digitally without cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to outline the topics that are critical in the dermatological approach to patients with cancer. This purpose will be accomplished by discussing the value of a multidisciplinary approach, and case examples will be used, including some from the Hospital Sírio-Libanês, a pioneering institution in the treatment of cancer. In all, the book will present and discuss the best global evidence for the dermatologic care of patients with cancer, skin cancer, and solid organ- and bone-marrow-transplanted patients. The clinical, surgical, pathologic, imaging, radiotherapy, oncology and palliative care aspects of the dermatologic care of cancer patients will be covered. The book will also discuss subjects such as genetics, biology, evidence-based medicine, and new diagnostic methods and tools such as dermoscopy and confocal microscopy. Chapters will be based on the following key areas: educating clinicians on how to prevent skin cancer in patients, screening and counseling, diagnosis and treatment of pigmented lesions, melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer, cutaneous lymphomas, sarcomas, leukemic and lymphomatous infiltrations, cutaneous metastases, cutaneous paraneoplasic manifestations and cutaneous adverse reactions to chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The primary audiences are dermatologists, oncologists, radioncologists and oncologic surgeons. The secondary audience is residents in these fields. The goal is to prepare and update all specialists on this important clinical and research area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-melanoma skin cancer is a global public health issue. With an ever-increasing, and ageing, world population coupled with increasing numbers of immunosuppressed individuals the number of patients continues to rise. The head and neck is overwhelmingly the most frequent location for the development of a non-melanoma skin cancer and as such challenges the clinician with its complex anatomy. The importance of maintaining the aesthetics of the face and the function of the anatomy cannot be overstated, yet ultimately it is always the aim of curing a patient with the minimum of morbidity that clinicians strive for. However, the spectrum of presentations and subsequent management varies widely, ranging from patients with the ubiquitous low-risk mid-face basal cell carcinoma to those diagnosed with relatively uncommon but potentially life-threatening high-risk squamous cell carcinomas (e.g. involving metastatic lymph nodes or with perineural invasion present) and Merkel cell carcinomas.

Book excerpt: "An advanced skin cancer is one that has already metastasized beyond its primary origin, or one that has invaded underlying tissue such that surgical resection either is technically impossible or would lead to an unacceptable functional or cosmetic outcome. These skin cancers present a complex problem that requires the input of multiple specialties to delineate the best management plan. National guidelines utilize the best available data to guide management decisions. However, there is considerable leeway within the guidelines, enabling the ultimate care decision to be molded to best fit each individual patient. This book aims to provide instructional examples of patient cases where the input of the multi-disciplinary team is critical in providing the most suitable care plan for the patient"--

This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term ‘carcinoid’ entered medical literature over 100 years ago to describe a peculiar intestinal epithelial neoplasm. Since then, a large body of literature has expanded the concept of carcinoid, later replaced by the term ‘NeuroEndocrine Tumor’ (NET), defining a wide spectrum of peculiar tumors, potentially affecting all organs and tissues, originating from neuroendocrine cells, sharing, but, at the same time, keeping, pathognomonic pathological, radiological and clinical features. This book provides an authoritative overview of the epidemiological, clinical, genetic, molecular and pathological characteristics of NETs and highlights the most relevant controversial issues in the classification, diagnosis and therapy. Furthermore the new frontiers in the field of medical therapies are presented, through a multidisciplinary and translational approach. Considering the fact that NETs have been recently demonstrated less rare as considered so far, 'Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Multidisciplinary Approach' is a must read for endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, endocrine surgeons, as well as pathologists, nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists focused on NET.
