Head and Neck Cancer |
|
By detailing experimental and basic research, from premalignancy to fully invasive tumors, this book has wide applicability to all human carcinomas. No other group of human cancers is better positioned for the application of recently developed novel and targeted therapies, and this book uniquely presents the unusual opportunities tumors of the head and neck provide for clinical, translational, and basic science research. Cutting-edge and experimental treatment approaches are presented, along with future strategies and an evaluation of emerging technologies. Key Features * Presents a multi-disciplinary perspective from authorities in diverse fields * Addresses state-of-the art approaches in cancer research as well as other scientific opportunities in this field * Provides comprehensive yet easily comprehendible source of information

Nutritional Oncology |

Nutritional Oncology is an emerging field with great significance for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Over the last decade, the number of medical oncologists, nurses, dietitians, and basic scientists concerned with this field has increased markedly. Molecular biology and genetics remain central to this interdisciplinary field which integrates basic science and its clinical application. Cancer results from the expression of genomic changes. Nutritional oncology seeks to modify the environmental factors influencing these genetic changes and their expression at every stage of carcinogenesis, from initiation of the cancer cell to its metastatic spread to other areas of the body.In this regard, nutritional oncology is relevant to some of the most common forms of cancer including, breast, prostate, colon, ovarian, uterine, and pancreatic cancers. Nutritional Oncology defines this rapidly emerging area of tremendous interest to researchers, a field poised to become a subfield of oncology. This reference provides an assessment of nutritional impact on the development and growth of cancer (or the prevention of such development and growth) as well as its role in cancer treatment. In addition to an overall discussion of nutrition and cancer, the book discusses specific nutrients and classes of nutrients. It also covers various clinical trials in nutritional care.

The Basic Science of Oncology |
|
Reviews the fast-moving and critically important topics in cancer causation, cancer biology, and the biology underlying cancer treatment. This edition is substantially revised to reflect the major scientific advances, especially with respect to molecular genetics. Additional coverage includes state-of-the-art updates on cancer therapy including new drugs and experimental radiotherapy. Interesting, relevant, and not overpowering in length, the book appeals to a wide audience including physicians, nurses, and medical students as well as radiation therapists. This review of topics in cancer causation, cancer biology, and the biology underlying cancer treatment includes updates on cancer therapy, such as new drugs and experimental radiotherapy.
