The intention of this book was to have investigators describe an expert opinion on their field of research and cutting-edge work in their laboratory on the neurobiology and treatment of eating disorders.
It is still hard to believe that manipulation of a single protein on the cell surface or an interaction of two or more proteins, which at times is collectively referred to as a "e;pathway,"e; could have such a profound effect on our immune system.
This detailed volume presents a variety of mouse models for cancer studies, from leukemia and lymphoma models to different types of subcutaneous and orthotopic models.
As was shown in the first two volumes of this series, great strides have been made in identifying many of the agents or classes of substances responsible for carcinogenesis and in delineating their interactions with the cell.
This practical guide to the use of radiotherapy for the treatment of sarcomas and skin cancers covers a wide range of disease scenarios, identifying which treatment techniques are applicable in particular clinical circumstances.
Bone Metastases: A Translational and Clinical Approach serves as both an introductory and reference book focusing on the field of metastatic bone disease.
Early detection is our most effective means for reducing the number of unnecessary deaths caused by breast cancer; however, the lack of skilled mammographic readings, especially in early stage breast cancer, makes this a less effective tool than it could be.
This volume emphasizes metastasis/dissemination as im- nective tissues, muscle, tumours of neuronal origins and portant processes in cancer growth and progression.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the biology of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the associated ER proteins, it discusses their structure, function and signaling mechanisms in the cell and their role in disease.
Stem cells provide for life-long cell replacement in tissues and organs, and have inherent homing abilities that are critical in therapeutic applications.
Treatment tolerance is a challenge for most cancer patients, and it is therefore essential that healthcare professionals (HCPs) are quick to recognize adverse events and implement management strategies to address them.
An essential resource for gastroenterologists, hepatologists, liver surgeons, hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists, and all those working in the field of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Practical Approach covers the updates and recent developments on the diagnosis, screening, and comprehensive medical and surgical management of HCC.
