Drugs Affecting Growth of Tumours
This topical volume provides an overview of clinically relevant data on anticancer agents. It is not only intended medical doctors working with cancer patients, and for medical researchers and students. The different classes of anticancer drugs are described by international authorities on the various topics. Apart from new targets for anticancer agents, attention is also focused on improving efficacy and tolerability of existing compounds.
Assessment and Treatment of Sarcopenia and Frailty in the Setting of Personalized Internal Medicine
The recognition and implementation of personalized internal medicine is of the utmost importance for physicians, nurses, dieticians and other healthcare professionals engaged in clinics. The assessment of sarcopenia and frailty, in middle-aged patients, as an embodiment of treatment personalization, is essential in settings of acute and chronic disease, both in the hospital and in ambulatory settings. This book describes various practical tools for the assessment of sarcopenia and frailty, reviews relevant findings from the current professional literature, and suggests treatment modifications for frail patients.

The Cancer Chronicles
When the woman he loved was diagnosed with a metastatic cancer, science-writer George Johnson embarked on a journey to learn everything he could about the disease and the people who dedicate their lives to understanding and combating it. What he discovered is that a revolution is now under way – an explosion of new ideas about what cancer really is and where it comes from. He combs through the realms of epidemiology, clinical trials, laboratory experiments and scientific hypotheses, to reveal what we know and don’t know about cancer, showing why a cure remains such a slippery concept. His luminous accounts describe tumors that evolve like alien creatures inside the body, paleo-oncologist...
Cancer and Society
While a number of books have looked at the intersection between human health in general and other topics, such as climate change or diet, this book focuses specifically on cancer as it impacts and is impacted by social justice issues. The massive explosion of research knowledge of cancer immunology and genomics is holding out great promise of therapeutic advances, yet other human actions—climate change, pollution, business decisions, advertising – are fostering health inequalities as well as increasing risks. Those involved in cancer care and research are in a unique position to let their experiences and knowledge inform the public, yet very often have not taken strong public roles when ...
Eye Pathology
This book is a comprehensive, in-depth, and up-to-date resource on eye pathology that will be of great practical value for ophthalmic and general pathologists and ophthalmologists. Congenital abnormalities, inflammatory conditions, infections, injuries, degenerative diseases, and tumors are all covered with the aid of more than 700 images. In the case of tumors, the wide variety of neoplasms that occur in the eyelid, conjunctiva, retina, uveal tract, lacrimal gland and sac, orbit, and optic nerve are comprehensively reviewed, and the most recent knowledge on the relation between genetics and prognosis is presented. Entries on specific diseases are organized in a standard way, with information on etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathological characteristics, differential diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. The authors are all recognized experts and members of the European and American ophthalmic pathology societies.
Crónicas del cáncer
Provocador, inteligente y conmovedor, Crónicas del cáncer pondrá a prueba todo lo que creías saber sobre la enfermedad. Desde el momento en que su esposa fue diagnosticada con esta terrible enfermedad, el reconocido divulgador científico George Johnson decidió que su aproximación debía ser la de comprender cómo y por qué se produce, porque para vencer a un enemigo lo mejor es tener un profundo conocimiento del mismo. Así rastreó los orígenes de la enfermedad a través de la paleontología hasta descubrir rasgos de tumores óseos parecidos a los que existen en la actualidad en algunos esqueletos de dinosaurios. También descubrió otras muestras de cáncer prehistórico en los restos de las diferentes razas de homínidos y en los yacimientos de necrópolis históricas. Se informó de las más punteras investigaciones y descubrió cómo el cáncer toma prestados los procesos naturales que intervienen en la cicatrización de una herida o el desarrollo de un embrión humano. El de Johnson es un planteamiento triple -histórico, científico y personal- y un viaje a través de una de las enfermedades más complicadas y universales que existen hoy en día.
The Growth of the Surface Area of the Human Body
This work provides an extensive analysis of one of the major body measures, surface area. It is strictly experimental and descriptive; numerical and graphic methods are used to present major findings.
Anxiety
Theorists are increasingly arguing that it is fruitful to approach anxiety from the cognitive perspective, and the empirical evidence supports that contention. The cognitive perspective is also adopted in this book, but the approach represents a development and extension of earlier ones. For example, most previous theories and research have been based on anxiety either in clinical or in normal groups. In contrast, one of the central themes of this book is that there are great advantages to be gained from a joint consideration of clinical and normal anxiety. Another theme of this book is that it is of major importance to establish whether or not there is a cognitive vulnerability factor which...
