Produktbeschreibung

Cancer refers to a family of diseases, which involves an abnormal growth of cells that can invade or spread to other parts of the body. Survival rates in people suffering from cancer vary according to the cancer type and stage in which it is diagnosed. The prognosis is worse for cancers that have metastasized. Cancer survivors often develop a second primary cancer. Cancer research strives to identify possible causes and strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It involves various aspects of molecular bioscience, cancer epidemiology and clinical trials for evaluating and comparing outcomes of different cancer therapies. Translational research in cancer seeks to understand the mechanisms of cancer development and progression, and translate such scientific findings into formulating approaches in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Clinical cancer research is devoted to the development of surgical procedures, pharmaceutical agents and medical technologies for the treatment of cancer. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of cancer management. The topics covered herein deal with the clinical and translational research in the field of oncology. For all readers who are interested in this field, the case studies included herein will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
