editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 96
With the wealth of information and treatment options available, decisions about the management of uro-oncological diseases are not always straightforward. An Atlas of Uro-oncology gives you a snapshot of the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases that allows you to quickly grasp the big picture. The book focuses on the most commonly encountered tumors of the prostate, kidney, bladder, testes, and penis. The author begins with a thorough review of the molecular basis of urological cancer, including cell adhesion molecules, the caspase apoptosis pathway, angiogenesis, and signal transduction. He goes on to cover treatment options, surgical techniques, and the management of advanced disease. Color photographs and "decision trees" for all the common uro-oncological diseases facilitate your decision-making process. Almost everyday uro-oncologists must choose between a variety of investigation and treatment strategies. But who has the time to plough through a two- or three-volume textbook of uro-oncology? Now you don't have to. An Atlas of Uro-oncology distills the essence of a vast subject and provides the tools you need to make the best decision possible.

Histological Typing of Prostate Tumours

editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 126
This classification is based primarily on the microscopic characteris- tics of tumours and therefore is concerned with morphologically identifiable cell types and histological patterns as seen with conven- tional light microscopy. The term tumour is used synonymously with neoplasm. The phrase tumour-like is applied to lesions that clinically or morpholog- ically resemble neoplasms but do not behave biologically in a neo- plastic manner. They are included in this publication because they give rise to problems in differential diagnosis and because of the un- clear distinction between neoplasms and certain non-neoplastic le- sions. Synonyms are listed only if they have been widely used or are considered helpful for the understanding of the lesion. In such cases, the preferred term is given first and followed by the synonym. The current revision includes the recognition of a preinvasive le- sion, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, which is commonly associat- ed with carcinoma. It also recognises the paracrine-endocrine ele- ments in prostate carcinoma and other subtypes of adenocarcinoma.
Although the emphasis of the classification is on histological typ- ing, consideration should also be given to the degree of differentia- tion and nuclear anaplasia, extent of local spread, vascular and lym- phatic invasion, and the occurrence of metastasis. The revision in- cludes grading (p. 14), staging (p. 32), and handling and reporting of the different types of specimens (p. 1).
Breast Calcification
A Diagnostic Manual

editore: Greenwich Medical Media Ltd
pagine: 208
Screening for breast cancer is now an accepted part of healthcare practice in many parts of the world. However, the advent of mass screening has brought with it the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis. Breast calcifications in particular are commonly misinterpreted, and definitive diagnosis of whether such calcifications represent benign or malignant conditions is extremely difficult, as the calcifications can easily be missed, or their shape (which is critical in diagnosis) misinterpreted. This book aims to provide a practical understanding to the diagnosis and treatment of breast calcification and will be essential reading for all members of the breast screening team, including pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. The multidisciplinary group of authors first cover in detail the main main pathologies that present with calcification, and go on to describe the techniques of fine needle aspiration and core biopsy and large bore biopsy sampling of tissue, reporting procedures, radiological management of calcification and clinical aspects of the diagnosis of breast calcification.
The second part of the book looks at some of the most recently adopted methodologies for diagnosis such as high frequency ultrasound, computer aided diagnosis and the roles of MRI and synchrotron radiation.
Hormone Therapy in Breast and Prostate Cancer
Cancer Drug Discovery and Development
B. J. A. Furr , V. Craig Jordan
editore: Humana Press Inc.
pagine: 420
In Hormone Therapy in Breast and Prostate Cancer, many of today's leading researchers and clinicians describe the principles underlying targeted hormonal treatments, assess the actions of new and established agents, and illustrate the new applications of hormonal chemoprevention for breast cancer. Topics range from preclinical and clinical antiestrogens to the inhibition of estrogen synthesis and the effects of androgen withdrawal. A wide variety of proven and new agents are discussed-antiestrogens, including aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, letrozole, and others), SERMs (tamoxifen, raloxifene, and others), and such antiandrogenic strategies as goserelin and bicalutamide.
