Aromatase Inhibitors: Types, Mode of Action & Indications (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Aromatase Inhibitors
Aromatase inhibitors (AI) are a class of drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer and ovarian cancer in postmenopausal women. Aromatase is an enzyme that synthesises oestrogen and aromatase inhibitors block the synthesis of oestrogen, which is needed in some cancers to grow. As breast tissue is stimulated by estrogens, decreasing their production is a way of suppressing recurrence of the breast tumour tissue....

Histological & Serological Tumour Markers & Gene Expression & Their Clinical Usefulness in Cancers
The number of commercially available antibodies for the detection of biological markers, tumour markers, by immunohistochemistry or serological methods in cancer are rapidly increasing. Results in different studies are often contradictory and the usefulness of single tumour markers in different cancer types is unclear. An increasing number of studies on genetic "fingerprints" are being reported. This book...

Cancer Biology: An Updated Global Overview (Paperback / softback - 1 Apr 2010)

Cancer Biology
Although prevention should be our primer facing cancer, without proper understanding to the nature of cancer as a disease, we will be failing to meet our global aim of eradicating it. Cancer cell should be looked at as a dedifferentiated cell rather than an abnormally diving cell. And, cancer causation should be understood as a threshold phenomenon due to cumulative inactivation of tumour suppressor gene and/or...

Small Cell Carcinomas: Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Small Cell Carcinomas
Small cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that almost always effects the lungs. Small cell carcinoma is almost always caused by smoking, but exposure to large amounts of asbestos is also a risk factor. Small cell carcinoma usually effects men more than women and while not a common type of lung cancer, is considered very deadly. Unlike other types of cancer, small cell carcinoma is not staged on a numerical scale but...

Handbook of Prostate Cancer Cell Research: Growth, Signalling & Survival (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Handbook of Prostate Cancer Cell Research
Prostate cancer is a disease in which cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. It occurs when cells of the prostate mutate and begin to multiply out of control. These cells may spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, especially the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during sexual intercourse, erectile...

Viral Cancers: Cytologic Tools in Diagnosis & Management (Paperback / softback - 1 Apr 2010)

Viral Cancers
Viruses have been linked to approximately 15 to 20% of all human tumours world-wide and their empire is expanding over the years. While histopathology and cytopathology have been utilised for decades to arrive at a tissue diagnosis of cancer, the advent of newer and more sophisticated ancillary tools have thrown light on the aetiology of neoplasia including virus as one of the causes. Whereas in occasional cancer,...

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Involvement in Esophageal Carcinogensis
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has a peculiar geographical distribution, with up to 500-fold variations in incidence between the low- and high-risk regions. The first reports suggesting HPV involvement in both benign and malignant squamous cell tumours of the oesophagus date back to 1982. The rapidly increasing literature on this subject is summarised in this book. Screening studies in high-incidence...

Cancer Genome and Tumor Microenvironment (Hardback - 5 Feb 2010)

Cancer Genome and Tumor Microenvironment
Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes had been traditionally studied in the context of cell proliferation, differentiation, senescence, and survival, four relatively cell-autonomous processes. Consequently, in the late ’80s-early ’90s, neoplastic growth was described largely as an imbalance between net cell accumulation and loss, brought about through mutations in cancer genes. In the last ten years, a more...
