This textbook combines essential information on clinical cancer medicine with a guide to the latest advances in molecular oncology and tumor biology. Providing a systematic overview of all types of solid tumors, including epidemiology and cancer prevention, genetic aspects of hereditary cancers, differential diagnosis, typical signs and symptoms, diagnostic strategies and staging, and treatment modalities, it also discusses new and innovative cancer treatments, particularly targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Expert commentaries at the end of each chapter highlight key points, offer insights, suggest further reading and discuss clinical application using case descriptions. This textbook is an invaluable, practice-oriented tool for medical students just beginning their clinical oncology studies, as well as for medical oncology residents and young professionals.

This book explores how terrorists have been portrayed in the Western media, and the wider ideological and social functions of those representations. Developing a theory of scapegoating related to narrative closure, as well as an integrated, genealogical method of intervisuality, the book proposes a new way of thinking about how political images achieve power and influence the public. By connecting modern portrayals of terrorists (post-9/11) with historical and fictional images of villains from Western cultural history, the book argues that the portrayal and punishment of terrorists in the Western media implicitly perpetuates neo-Orientalist attitudes. It also explains that by repeating these narrative patterns through a ritual of scapegoating, Western media coverage of terrorists partakes in a social process that uses punishment, dehumanization and colonialist ideas to purge the iconic ‘villain’, so as to build national unity and sustain hegemonic power following crisis.

Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can be harvested from many tissues, including bone marrow (BM), cord blood (CB), adipose tissue, umbilical cord (UC), placenta and others. In recent years, there has been an overwhelming interest in MSC as reflected in the number of reports regarding their characterization, biological properties and clinical application. One of the specific areas of research involves the characterization of MSCs derived from different sources as well as the potential differences between them. More recently, reports have been published on derivatives from MSCs such as extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes and mitochondria, but their characterization, mechanisms of action in immunomodulatory functions and regeneration aspects have not been fully elucidated.
Lung transplantation is a successful therapeutic option for patients with end-stage respiratory failure. Although the clinical outcomes of this procedure have been constantly improving, yet the care of patients undergoing lung transplantation is still a striking challenge for the entire team involved in the process. The complexity of a clinical lung transplant program requires a trained, multi-specialist team and a continuing technical update.
