Stem Cells and Cancer (Hardback - 1 May 2009)

Stem Cells and Cancer
Cancer is a primary cause of human mortality worldwide. Despite decades of basic and clinical research, the outcome for most cancer patients is still dismal. Some stumbling blocks to developing effective therapy include the heterogeneity of cancer tissues, the lack of knowledge about the critical molecular mechanisms in cancer tissues (which are typically aberrant compared with mechanisms in normal tissue), and the...

From Local Invasion to Metastatic Cancer (Mixed media product - 1 Jun 2009)

From Local Invasion to Metastatic Cancer
In human solid tumors, nodal status is the most important prognostic indicator for patients’ outcome. Recent developments in the sentinel lymph node concept have resulted in a procedure to define the first draining node as the primary gateway through which the cancer will spread. In From Local Invasion to Metastatic Cancer: Involvement of Distant Sites through the Lymphovascular System, a panel of international...

Toward the Elimination of Cancer Disparities (Hardback - 1 Jun 2009)

Toward the Elimination of Cancer Disparities
The societal burden of cancer is one of the major public health challenges of our time, yet that burden is not equally shared by all. Troubling disparities have been documented not only by racial/ethnic group but also by social class, insurance status, geography, and a host of other factors. Furthermore, such disparities represent the end result of a constellation of forces stemming from both within the health care...

Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer Therapy (Hardback - 1 Sep 2009)

Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer Therapy
Much work over the last two decades has firmly established that loss of cell cycle checkpoint regulation, and resultant unabated cellular proliferation, is an inherent characteristic of cancer. This loss may occur through aberration in any single component involved in signal transduction pathways that orchestrate checkpoint regulation, which may manifest through either a failure to activate the checkpoint or a...

Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells (Hardback - 1 May 2009)

Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells
The inability of cancer drugs to destroy metastatic tumors is the major reason why cancer therapy fails. Even though the process of drug design has become exceedingly sophisticated in recent years, there is not a single drug available that is 100% effective against metastatic cancer. Resistance to treatment with anticancer drugs results from a variety of factors including individual variations in patients and...

Stem Cells and Cancer (Hardback - 1 Jun 2009)

Stem Cells and Cancer
The discovery of stem cells has ignited a field of discovery in many human disease areas including diabetes, neurology, and cancer. The tissues from which stem cells have been derived for research have become controversial over the years. Stem cells hold promise in the treatment of debilitating diseases as a new source of therapy. While stem cells may provide therapeutic benefit under certain conditions, stem cells...

Skin Cancer after Organ Transplantation (Hardback - 1 Jun 2009)

Skin Cancer after Organ Transplantation
Organ transplantation has been performed for almost 40 years with steadily increasing success regarding long-time survival of the graft, as well as quality of life for the patient. However, graft tolerance only can be achieved via induction and maintenance of an impaired immunological surveillance. An increase of skin cancers as a consequence of the lowered cellular immunoresponse seems to parallel the overall...

Chemokine Receptors in Cancer (Hardback - 1 Jun 2009)

Chemokine Receptors in Cancer
Chemokines are a superfamily of low molecular weight cytokines that were initially described based on their ability to induce the directed migration of leukocytes to sites of inflammation or injury. In humans, there are approximately 45 chemokines that bind to 19 G-protein-coupled receptors. In addition to mediating cellular migration, chemokines have now been shown to affect many cellular functions including...
