Описание: James DeGregori proposes a way of thinking about cancer as a disease of evolution-one in which mutated cells outcompete healthy cells in the ecosystem of the body`s tissues. By tying cancer`s progression to natural selection and evolved strategies for reproductive success, his theory goes far in explaining who gets cancer, when it appears, and why.
Описание: The mysterious disease of cancer, including breast cancer, has plagued mankind since the dawn of recorded history. Regarding the elusive cause of the disease, the "Father of Medicine," Hippocrates of Athens (460-377 BC), wrote that, "For instability is characteristic of the humours and so they may be easily altered by nature and by chance." The enigma has persisted until today. In 1971, then President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act and declared a "War on Cancer." He believed the counsel of scientists and physicians that if sufficient resources were committed to the fight, cancer could be virtually eliminated within 5 years. The prophesy failed. Although mortality from a few cancers, most notably leukemias, has been significantly reduced, carcinomas, cancers of the epithelium, which account for 80% of cancer deaths, remain unchanged. While tremendous advances have taken place in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms operant in cancer, it has proven exceedingly difficult to prevent the occurrence or to halt the progress of the disease. The very best therapy remains early detection while the primary tumor is small and localized to a single site, followed by removal of the offending growth by surgery and/or radiation. The great challenge of finding a cure confronts us yet, and it is effective intervention at the molecular level that offers our best hope. We still must find the "magic bullet."

Описание: This book reviews the significant advances in our understanding of glioma biology that have been achieved during the past decade and describes in detail the resultant new approaches to treatment. Improvements in surgical techniques, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are comprehensively covered, with discussion of their impact in decreasing patient morbidity and increasing survival. In addition, individual chapters are devoted specifically to current treatment for low-grade gliomas, anaplastic gliomas, and glioblastoma multiforme. Other topics addressed include treatment of the elderly patient, investigating emerging therapies from small molecules to immunotherapy and palliative care. This timely book will be a valuable source of up-to-date information for practitioners and will also be of interest to researchers.

Описание: With no similar books on the market, this volume is a welcome addition. Many current methods use `shallow integration` that employ output-input linking. This book goes further, setting out a systems biology and tumour modeling method called `deep integration`.

Описание:
Understanding Lung Cancer, Second Edition, defines lung cancer and describes the two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Fully up to date with current guidelines, the chart describes how lung cancer is diagnosed and staged and lists rick factors, signs and symptoms, and treatment options.
The main lung image shows the left upper lobe and left lower lobe with metastasis to paratracheal lymph nodes, metastasis to carinal lymph nodes, and a close-up, inset image of a tumor projecting into bronchi.
The chart also describes how lung cancer can be prevented, includes a graphic showing how to calculate number of “pack years” along with an image of a cigarette in ashtray and the statistic that approximately 90 percent of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking.
