editore: B.C. Decker Inc
pagine: 607
"Breast Cancer, Second Edition" is intended to provide a comprehensive description of current and evolving aspects of breast cancer including the biologic basis of disease, epidemiology, risk assessment, diagnostic evaluation, treatment strategies, and surveillance measures. The second edition expands considerably on the first edition, containing greater emphasis on issues relevant to medical oncology and the broader oncology community. New to this edition are chapters on the male breast, breast cancer in the augmented breast and breast cancer in multiethnic/multiracial populations. Part of the American Cancer Society's acclaimed "Atlas of Clinical Oncology" series, this volume offers an expert overview of breast cancer. Topics range from epidemiology and genetics to diagnosis, management and reconstruction. Post-treatment care, as well as male breast cancer, is also discussed.

Il melanoma «difficile» in dermoscopia. Miniatlante
M. A. Pizzichetta
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 96
L'utilizzo della dermoscopia come ausilio diagnostico non invasivo nel difficile e strategico settore della diagnosi precoce del melanoma ha rappresentato una delle più importanti novità nella dermatologia dell'ultimo decennio. Questo miniatlante, promosso e realizzato nell'ambito di un progetto multicentrico della Associazione Italiana di Diagnostica non Invasiva in Dermatologia, prende in rassegna i melanomi "difficili", cioè quei casi non frequentissimi, ma neppure così eccezionali nella pratica clinica, nei quali l'esame dermoscopico da solo può non essere sufficiente a formulare una diagnosi corretta.

An Introduction to the Use of Anti Cancer Drugs
Imran Rafi
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 224
The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to the principles of drug treatment for solid tumours in cancer medicine. Developments in the understanding of tumour biology, molecular biology and genetics - together with the greater understanding of the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of drugs - have combined to open up the field of medical oncology to rapid advances in the treatment of cancers. The range of drugs that are available is wide and one of the primary aims in drug development is to increase the therapeutic window so that drug toxicity is minimised and tolerable. Drug development of oral formulations of anticancer drugs and the use of drugs that could be given in the day patient setting means that healthcare professionals such as general practitioners - who historically might not have been involved in the drug treatment of the cancer patient - are now going to need to have a greater understanding of the principles of use of anticancer drugs. This book is primarily aimed at this market.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Clinical and biological Advances
Peter L. Greenberg
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 326
Myelodysplastic Syndromes was first published in 2006, and continues to stand out as the definitive text on the genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical management of this wide range of syndromes. It remains a major reference on all aspects of the clinical classification underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and treatment of the myelodysplastic syndromes. Authored by international experts, the book provides an assessment of the subject's status and a variety of advances in the field. The chapters cover all aspects of the myelodysplastic syndromes, from an in-depth analysis of the multifactorial nature of this disease, including a careful assessment of stromal, immunological and stem cell abnormalities, to a review of recent molecular and cytogenetic discoveries and insights. This book will be a valuable resource to clinicians and researchers who wish to learn more about myelodysplastic syndromes.
Complementary Oncology
Adjunctive Methods in the Treatment of Cancer
Josef Beuth , Ralph W. Moss
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 303
Complementary methods are playing an increasingly important role in these treatment of cancer. Resulting benefits are a higher quality of life, reduced instance and severity of the side effects of standard therapy, and a general improvement of the patient's immunological state. The methods - from carefully monitored nutrition, exercise, and psychological support to enzyme substitution, phytotherapy, hyperthermia and microbiology therapy - are critical to a treatment's overall success. In this unique book, experts ranging across medical disciplines present scientifically proven data on the efficacy of these methods as they are currently being used, the necessary scientific background, and practical advice for introducing them into practice. With illustrations, tables, and detailed descriptions, this book is an ideal reference and an invaluable tool for educating patients about this encouraging aspect of cancer therapy.

Essentials of Thyroid Cancer Management
A Guidebook for Endocrinologists, Surgeons, Nuclear Medicine Physicians and Radiation Oncologists

,
Jessica Kirwan
e altri
editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 480
The goal of this book is to provide Endocrinologists, Surgeons, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, and Radiation Oncologists with practical advice about managing patients with thyroid cancer. This book will not replace the excellent publications that focus on a highly speci?c topic or provide an exhaustive review of major s- jects from the perspective of a particular specialty. These kinds of publications will always be an important source of information for both students and expe- enced practitioners. The void that we see is the lack of a single, concise, up-- date reference that is applicable to all of the specialists who make clinical de- sions about thyroid cancer patients. Essentials of Thyroid Cancer Management will ?ll this void in a manner that is both user-friendly and technically compreh- sive. For reading ef?ciency, this book contains the minimum of text required to explain how to make sound clinical decisions in speci?c situations. We rely heavily on tables, diagrams, graphs, photographs, and other ?gures to convey this information. Subjects are addressed in a large number of chapters that each focus on a relatively narrow topic.
In some cases, there is overlap between the information in multiple different chapters so the reader does not have to page back and forth between different sections of the book. As occurs in every area of medicine, there is controversy about important issues in the management of thyroid cancer.

Handbook of Immunohistochemistry and in Situ Hybridization of Human Carcinomas
Molecular Genetics: Liver and Pancreatic Carcinomas
M. A. Hayat
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 432
Immunohistochemistry is the use of specific antibodies to stain particular molecular species in situ. This technique has allowed the identification of many more cell types than could be visualized by classical histology, particularly in the immune system and among the scattered hormone-secreting cells of the endocrine system, and has the potential to improve diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic options of cancer. This book discusses all aspects of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization technologies and the important role they play in reaching a cancer diagnosis. It provides step-by-step instructions on the methods of additional molecular technologies such as DNA microarrays, and microdissection, along with the benefits and limitations of each method. The topics of region-specific gene expression, its role in cancer development and the techniques that assist in the understanding of the molecular basis of disease are relevant and necessary in science today. This is the only book available that translates molecular genetics into cancer diagnosis. The results of each Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization method are presented in the form of color illustrations.
The methods discussed were either developed or refined by expert contributors in their own laboratories.
