Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer Pharmacology: An Illustrated Manual of Anticancer Drugs, Second Edition is a visually engaging reference detailing the essential basic and clinical science of all approved, effective, and life-prolonging drug therapies in oncology. Now with a greater emphasis on clinical context, application, and management in each chapter, this significantly revised edition provides both early-career and seasoned clinicians with a practical, bench-to-bedside approach and patient-oriented guide. The book provides detailed coverage of the major advances in cancer pharmacology at the forefront of our standards of care for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, in addition to the basic science that is directly necessary and applicable when at the patient’s bedside. Everything from traditional cytotoxic agents to targeted genomic, epigenomic, hormonal, and immunotherapeutic agents is explored, in addition to a new chapter covering pharmacogenomics. Accompanied by elegant illustrations, each chapter details the tumor microenvironment, chemical structures of agents, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomic and molecular properties of the various agents, and their mechanisms of action. The book covers alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antimitotics, epigenetic modulators, hormonal agents, targeted therapies, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapeutic agents, and much more. Thoroughly updated to include new FDA-approved treatments and applications, and written by leading experts in cancer pharmacology, this second edition continues to be a “must have” for anyone involved in the basic, translational, or clinical aspects of oncology and hematology, including clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, and trainees. Key Features: Over 150 beautiful illustrations depict structures, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics associated with each class of agents Contains more than 160 high-yield hematology and oncology board-style chapter review questions (more than double the previous edition) with descriptive rationales Describes how chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy work, and why they are expected to work adjuvantly, neoadjuvantly, and in combination with other treatment modalities Thoroughly updated and revised chapters cover new FDA drug approvals, disease-site indications, clinical applications and management of drug-to-drug interactions, and toxicities Discusses challenges related to drug development, drug approval, and regulatory issues in relation to anticancer treatments Provides important pharmacotherapy context with clinical pearls in each chapter that help support a patient-oriented, bedside approach

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for information, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching of oncology requires a rigorously multidisciplinary approach which is difficult for the Universities to put into practice since their system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task for medical faculties to adapt their curricula flexibly. With its residential courses for organ pathologies and the seminars on new techniques (laser, monoclonal antibodies, imaging techniques etc.) or on the principal therapeutic controversies (conservative or mutilating surgery, primary or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone or integrated), it is the ambition of the European School of Oncology to fill a cultural and scientific gap and, thereby, create a bridge between the University and Industry and between these two and daily medical practice. One of the more recent initiatives of ESO has been the institution of permanent study groups, also called task forces, where a limited number of leading experts are invited to meet once a year with the aim of defining the state of the art and possibly reaching a consensus on future developments in specific fields of oncology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the efforts of young oncologists, haematologists, pharmacists and oncology nurses who are highly motivated and encouraged by the significant development of new effective anticancer drugs. Since the discovery of antimetabolites and alkylating agents in the 1940s and 1950s, many new products have been introduced into our daily arsenal not only through chemotherapy agents, but also by means of biological or immunotherapeutic drugs whose side effects differ significantly. The idea of this book was born from a simple observation and confirmation of fact. New doctors in training experience high levels of stress and lack of confidence when confronting cancer patients and explaining a treatment or managing frequent side effects. Patients questions will only add more nervousness, and this will lead to a failure in the doctor-patient relationship, causing the patients mistrust and doctors frustration. Nurses dealing with these patients will suffer pressure too, as many questions regarding antineoplastic drugs will be asked of them and patients expect them to ease their doubts. This feeling of vulnerability in front of a patient, though a part of the maturation process when becoming a professional caretaker, causes discomfort and incertitude. In this context, it is crucial to gain great knowledge about pharmacokinetic and pharmacological features of each active anticancer drug used, as well as the indications, dosages, interactions and toxicities, to be able to face the daily practice of oncology without concerns and manage daily therapeutic complications easily. This may be considered very difficult, taking into account the huge number of active agents doctors manage routinely, but doctors have accepted the challenge and designed a straightforward, comprehensible book to solve this issue. The Easy Book of Cancer Pharmacology provides the means to overcome the problem. It is conceived as an accessible, concise and yet exhaustive tool which displays a vast amounts of knowledge in a very schematic way. It is easy to consult and offers a very practical expertise to develop the ability of managing effectively each antineoplastic agent quickly. It gives the necessary insights to explain this to the patients with confidence. Each chapter reviews one active drug and shows the information with a pragmatic style, and they are divided into different sections. Each section covers distinct aspects of the agent, from general characteristics to more specific details related to clinical pharmacology. In quickly advancing fields such as oncology, such a book is necessary to help update the ever-developing and expanding knowledge of clinicians and patients in an efficient and effective manner.

This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy Review is the first book devoted entirely to providing the ‘must-know’ facts on each cancer agent—including their pharmacokinetics, FDA-approved indications, toxicity, interactions, and other important information that is commonly found on board examinations and essential for any clinician or practitioner to review. The authors, an oncologist and two pharmacists, have developed a handy question-and-answer format to present the material in digestible bursts. As the pharmacology section continues to represent a major portion of the medical oncology exam and a key component on oncology MOC exams, this portable study guide will help prepare anyone looking to fine-tune their knowledge on cancer drugs before the test. Not to mention, with recent advancements in the field of cancer treatment, it has become more cumbersome to recall and maintain essential knowledge of every cancer therapeutic—making this book not only an exam resource but also a handy quick reference for oncologists and pharmacists alike. KEY FEATURES Conveniently organized and arranged by drug class and subtypes for easier recall and classification Includes proper dosage adjustments to account for liver and kidney dysfunction Features tables throughout that provide quick reference regarding FDA-approved medications Simplified diagrams and illustrations facilitate the pharmacokinetic processes

Download or read book Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs written by David E. Thurston and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While drug therapies developed in the last 80 years have markedly improved treatment outcomes and the management of some types of cancers, the lack of effectiveness and side effects associated with the most common treatment types remain unacceptable. However, recent technological advances are leading to improved therapies based on targeting distinct biological pathways in cancer cells. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs is a comprehensive survey of all families of anticancer agents and therapeutic approaches currently in use or in advanced stages of clinical trials, including biological-based therapies. The book is unique in providing molecular structures for all anticancer agents, discussing them in terms of history of development, chemistry, mechanism of action, structure–function relationships, and pharmacology. It also provides relevant information on side effects, dosing, and formulation. The authors, renowned scientists in cancer research and drug discovery, also provide up-to-date information on the drug discovery process, including discussions of new research tools, tumor-targeting strategies, and fundamental concepts in the relatively new areas of precision medicine and chemoprevention. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs is an indispensable resource for cancer researchers, medicinal chemists and other biomedical scientists involved in the development of new anticancer therapies. Its breadth of coverage, clear explanations, and illustrations also make it suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, nutrition, the biomedical sciences, and related disciplines. Key Features: Summarizes the fundamental causes of cancer, modes of treatment, and strategies for cancer drug discovery Brings together a broad spectrum of information relating to the chemistry and pharmacology of all families of anticancer agents and therapies Includes up-to-date information on cutting-edge aspects of cancer treatments such as biomarkers, pharmacogenetics, and pharmacogenomics Features new chapters on the "Evolution of Anticancer Therapies", "Antibody-Based Therapies", and "Cancer Chemoprevention"

Download or read book Principles of Cancer Treatment and Anticancer Drug Development written by Wolfgang Link and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how current medicines against cancer work and how we find new ones. It provides an easy-to-understand overview of current options to treat patients with cancer, which includes Surgery, Radiation therapy, Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy and Immunotherapy. The efficiency of all these treatments is limited by the capacity of cancer cells to escape therapy. This book explains the mechanisms of anti-cancer drug resistance and strategies to overcome it. The discovery and development process of a new drug is detailed beginning with the identification and validation of a therapeutic target, the identification of an inhibitor of the target and its subsequent preclinical and clinical development until its approval by regulatory authorities. Particular emphasis has been given to specific aspects of the development process including lead generation and optimization, pharmacokinetics, ADME analysis, pharmacodynamics, toxicity and efficacy assessment, investigational new drug (IND) and new drug application (NDA) and the design of clinical trial and their phases. The book covers many aspects of modern personalized oncology and discusses economic aspects of our current system of developing new medicines and its impact on our societies and on future drug research. The author of this book, Dr. Link counts with more than 20 years of experience in biomedical research reflected in numerous publications, patents and key note and plenary presentations at international conferences. Interested readers, students and teachers should read this book as it provides a unique way to learn/teach about basic concepts in oncology and anti-cancer drug research.
