Diagnostic, Prognostic and Predictive Factors of Response in the Era of Precision Oncology in Breast Cancer
In the last couple of decades, the study of the cancer genome and the progressive implementation of next-generation sequencing platforms have provided the Scientific and Oncology communities with a multitude of data, technologies, diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tools that have been revolutionizing the way we can study, diagnose and treat cancer, including breast tumors. For example, genomic tests can now refine the prognosis of early-stage breast cancer patients beyond standard clinicopathological features and help guide escalated or de-escalated treatment choices. The identification of the molecular intrinsic subtypes might also be helpful in guiding treatment choices in advanced hormone receptor-positive disease. The identification of germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 has led to the development and introduction of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of advanced and early-stage breast cancer, along with personalized follow-up and prophylactic surgical procedures for patients with or without cancer, carrying such mutations.
Cancer Drug Design and Discovery
Cancer Drug Design and Discovery, Second Edition is an important reference on the underlying principles for the design and subsequent development of new anticancer small molecule agents. New chapters have been added to this edition on areas of particular interest and therapeutic promise, including cancer genomics and personalized medicine, DNA-targeted agents and more. This book includes several sections on the basic and applied science of cancer drug discovery and features those drugs that are now approved for human use and are in the marketplace, as well as those that are still under development. By highlighting some of the general principles involved in taking molecules through basic scie...
Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cancer
Increasing scientific evidence suggests that the majority of diseases including cancer are driven by oxidative stress and inflammation, attributed to environmental factors. These factors either drive genetic mutations or epigenetically modify expression of key regulatory genes. These changes can occur as early as gestational fetal development, and
Circulating Tumor Cells in Breast Cancer Metastatic Disease
This book is aimed to summarise the key aspects of the role of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in breast cancer, with special attention to their contribution to tumour progression and establishment of metastatic disease. We aim to give a clear overview of the knowledge about CTCs, framed in the context of breast cancer, by analysing basic and clinical research carried out so far. In a broader sense, we will address what are the main clinical needs of this disease based on its molecular heterogeneity (subtypes) and lay out the knowledge and understanding that CTCs are giving about it and how they are contributing and can still improve the better monitoring and management of breast cancer pati...
Constructions of Childhood in Ancient Greece and Italy
This volume contains 20 papers that explore ancient notions and experiences of childhood around the Mediterranean, from prehistory to late antiquity.
Breast Cancer Management and Molecular Medicine
Tailoring treatment for individual breast cancers is no longer a dream and is now the main goal for current research. This book gives an overview of the most recent techniques, agents and approaches for breast cancer and the individualization of treatment. Particular attention is given to organ-specific tailored approaches, specific populations, patients’ preferences and rehabilitation. Contributions from experts focus on the biomedical research behind the transfer of molecular biology knowledge into the clinical management of patients. This has led to increased survival as well as improved quality of life. The book gives an overview of the latest achievements in breast cancer and their use in clinical practice.
Circulating Biomarkers In Prostate Cancer
In the era of precision oncology, liquid biopsy techniques, specifically the use of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), cell free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and extracellular vesicles particularly exosomes, represent a paradigm shift in the conventional use of tissue based biomarkers. Compared to tissue biopsy, liquid biopsy is cost-effective, readily accessible and less invasive, minimizing the bias of sampling and offering the opportunity for serial monitoring. Circulating biomarkers detected in liquid biopsy (blood and urine, etc.) are helping in understanding cancer genomic landscape and evolution, thus have been largely studied in term of cancer screening, risk stratification and early d...
