Radiation therapy of cutaneous cancers and other dermatologic disorders is not covered adequately in many current textbooks of dermatology and radiation oncology.
The rapid and continuous upsurge of interesting data in the subject of tumor immunology necessitates the publication of an annual series to furnish the updated materials to the students, researchers, and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.
The all new Concepts in Viral Pathogenesis III contains the widely praised format of presenting up-to-date information in pithy, easily read "e;mini-review"e; style and complements previous editions with contributions by leading international authorities on structure-function relationships, gene regulation, cell biology of viral infections, transgenic mice, expression of viral genes, retroviruses, and evolving concepts in viral diseases.
This series of books attempts to present, in a comprehensive manner, the field of oncology divided into three major areas; etiology, biology, and therapy.
In his introduction to the Ciba Foundation Symposium on "e;Immunopotentia- tion,"e; Sir Peter Medawar stated that, "e;for the past twenty years the control of the immune response has been virtually equated to immunosuppression because the great goal of applied immunology has been the transplantation of tissues,"e; and that, "e;with the discovery of tumor immunity-the focal point of immuno- logical control has changed from immunosuppression to immunpotentiation and correspondingly the great prize of applied immunology has become the preven- tion and control of malignant growth.
This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in this previously neglected area.
At the turn of the century gynecology had achieved independence from surgery in most medical schools; although gynecologists were surgeons, their interests were turning toward nonsurgical aspects of their specialty.
This book originated in numerous Gordon Research Conferences and many other meetings of scientists working in chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, and biology related to mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.
Breast cancer, being a disease with very high prevalence in the female population, has permanently attracted the attention of biologists, biochemists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists.
There is no doubt that the advent of immunocytochemical techniques, by enhancing our ability to detect specific cell products or markers, has opened new avenues in the understanding of human diseases, and in our ability to perform better diagnosis in surgical pathology.
This volume is a report of the proceedings of the Second International Urological Course held in the Ettore Majorana Centre in Erice, Sicily from the 4-8 November 1978.
