Book Synopsis Breast Cancer Metastasis and Drug Resistance by : Aamir Ahmad
Download or read book Breast Cancer Metastasis and Drug Resistance written by Aamir Ahmad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprehensively covers recent prrogress in breast cancer research. In an effort to successfully treat breast cancer, it is imperative to a) fully understand the disease with all its heterogeneity, b) understand the factors that influence the metastasis of breast cancer to distant organs making it lethal and c) understand the underlying processes that lead to the phenomenon of drug-resistance making the disease particularly incurable. The book explores all of these issues, including the phenomenon of epithelial-mesenchymal-transition, cancer stem cells as well as microRNAs in an attempt to better understand the disease in connection to its heterogeneity/metastasis/drug-resistance as well as to propose novel signaling pathways for therapeutic intervention. The profiling of tumors to molecularly classify breast cancers is also investigated so that customized targeted therapies can be developed.

Book Synopsis Metastatic Breast Cancer: From Diagnosis to Complete Remission by : Denice Jeffery
Download or read book Metastatic Breast Cancer: From Diagnosis to Complete Remission written by Denice Jeffery and published by PartridgeIndia. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a psychologist, Denice Jeffery helped others learn to face their greatest fears with courage and integrity. But on a dark day in 2005, she would need to learn how to apply those same support strategies to her own life. That day, she learned that she had breast cancer. Just five years later, she was told that the cancer had metastasized, spreading throughout her body. A remarkable journey began then; now, she is officially in complete remission. Here, she shares her experiences honestly and intimately. Although she had radiation, she refused chemotherapy in favor of more natural therapies. She bravely rejected her terminal diagnosis and started on a race for her very life, hoping to unearth complementary strategies that could potentially ensure her survival. In Part One, she invites you into the life of a patient who refused to accept that there was nothing to be done. In Part Two she details the strategies, supplements, and protocols she used to overcome her cancer. Her story, from diagnosis to complete remission and how she achieved that transformation, offers hope to anyone facing cancer. "Not wanting to give up and just hand over to chemotherapy, Ms Jeffery did her research and found a variety of alternatives that each had good, if largely anecdotal successes, but which made sense to her in terms of theory. She also did a voyage through her own psyche to smooth the path, and in the end, has won the day and shares it all with the reader." -Dr. Val Lewis, Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia

Book excerpt: BOOK SUMMARY Metastatic Madness is a collection of poems and the recollections of the author's experience with a first time cancer diagnosis. The book describes the author's five phases of coping with this diagnosis, from initial shock to adjusting to and becoming a strong advocate for yourself and others. Soon after discovering a thickening in her left breast, the author learned she was at Stage 4 breast cancer. Despite previous negative screening and test results, she now has an incurable form of the disease. Following several months of chemotherapy and surgery, she went into remission of her illness. Since then, she has developed the strength and will to face an illness that has an average life span of three to five years. The author's intent is to share her experience with others who may be struggling with a cancer diagnosis, and hopefully, give them strategies to improve the quality of their lives. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Carol A. Miele retired from nursing after a 45 year nursing career. Growing up in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, she graduated from Community Medical Center School of Nursing in 1965, received a BS Degree in Nursing Education at Wilkes College in 1977 and a Masters of Public Health at East Stroudsburg University in 2000. The author enjoyed many roles in nursing: Medical-Surgical, Psychiatric, Operating Room, Emergency Room, Recovery Room and Intensive Care Unit clinical nurse. Also. She was an Occupational Health Nurse, Nursing Instructor, Assistant Director of Nurses, and Quality/Risk Manager in the hospital, home care, hospice and residential environments. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer and metastasis to bone in October 2010, she went into remission in June 2011 following months of Chemotherapy. Enjoying her stable condition, she lives with her husband and dog Flora in Indian Mt. Lakes, PA. They have two married daughters, Marisa and Kristen.
Book Synopsis Holding Tight, Letting Go by : Musa Mayer
Download or read book Holding Tight, Letting Go written by Musa Mayer and published by Patient-Centered Guides. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eloquent voices in Holiday Tight, Letting Go speak of different reality; that women with metastatic breast cancer generally go on to live with their disease, often for many years, and that the time they have can be full and meaningful. All aspects of dealing with the disease are covered here: coping with the shock of recurrence, seeking information, making treatment decisions, and communicating effectively with medical personnel. Getting emotional support from other patients and friends and working on relationship and family issues are often as important as managing the side-effects of treatment and the pain and symptoms of disease progression. Open discussions about approaching the end of life often lead to a profound inquiry into ways of keeping hope alive and finding meaning in the midst of adversity. Frank and moving descriptions from forty women and men who have been there make their stories relevant to anyone facing a life-threatening illness.
Book Synopsis Circulating Tumor Cells in Breast Cancer Metastatic Disease by : Roberto Piñeiro
Download or read book Circulating Tumor Cells in Breast Cancer Metastatic Disease written by Roberto Piñeiro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed to summarise the key aspects of the role of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in breast cancer, with special attention to their contribution to tumour progression and establishment of metastatic disease. We aim to give a clear overview of the knowledge about CTCs, framed in the context of breast cancer, by analysing basic and clinical research carried out so far. In a broader sense, we will address what are the main clinical needs of this disease based on its molecular heterogeneity (subtypes) and lay out the knowledge and understanding that CTCs are giving about it and how they are contributing and can still improve the better monitoring and management of breast cancer patients. We will discuss the evidences of the use of CTCs as a tool to monitor cancer progression and therapy response, based on the prognostic and predictive value they have, as well as a tool to unravel mechanisms of resistance to therapy and to identify new biomarkers allowing to predict therapy success. Moreover, we will analyse the main aspects of ongoing clinical trials and how they can contribute to determine the clinical utility of CTCs as a breast cancer biomarker. We will also touch upon general knowledge or basic notions of the biology of the metastatic process in epithelial cancers, in order to understand the origin and biology of CTCs. In this sense, we will pay special attention to EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition), dormancy and minimal residual disease, three key aspects that determine the outcome of the disease. We will also cover general aspects on the isolation and characterization techniques applies to the study of CTCs, and also the possibilities that the study of CTCs, as a biomarker with biological function, is opening in terms of understanding the biology of metastatic cells and the identification of therapeutic targets based on the functional and molecular characterization of CTCs. Lastly, we will try to foresee the future of CTCs in terms of clinical application and implementation in the clinical routine.

Book Synopsis miRNAs and Target Genes in Breast Cancer Metastasis by : Seema Sethi
Download or read book miRNAs and Target Genes in Breast Cancer Metastasis written by Seema Sethi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief gives the latest research on the role of miRNAs in breast cancer metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently described small endogenous noncoding RNAs implicated in the posttranscriptional control of gene expression. These tiny molecules are involved in developmental, physiologic phenomenon as well as pathologic processes including cancers. In fact, miRNAs have emerged as critical regulators of cancer progression, invasion and metastasis. This is mainly because a single miRNA can affect several downstream genes and signaling pathways with oncogenic or tumor suppressor actions depending on the target genes affected. Due to this multimodal downstream signaling effects, these small endogenous molecules hold great promise in metastasis prevention and treatment. Modulating the activity of miRNAs can provide opportunities for novel cancer interventions. Targeting miRNAs could become a novel prognostic and therapeutic strategy to prevent the future development of metastasis. Thus, miRNAs could also serve as a potential targets for anti-metastatic therapy. The book explores how the expression of miRNAs in the primary tumor could be silenced using antagomirs (chemically modified anti-miRNA oligonucleotides), which could prevent the development of metastasis; whereas once metastasis develops then it could be treated with miRNA mimics for inducing its expression for the treatment. Therefore, development of miRNA-based prophylactic therapies could serve as precision and personalized medicine against future development of metastasis of breast and other cancers.
