Precision Medicine in Gastrointestinal Cancers
Precision medicine is the main emphasis in healthcare after recognizing the importance to integrate the clinical data with the molecular data of a specific disease. The term was first introduced in 2015 in which the Precision Medicine Initiative was initiated with the final aim to provide targeted therapy with high efficacy and less toxicity. Precision medicine plays an increasingly important in gastrointestinal cancers. Gastrointestinal cancers are divided into the upper (esophagus, stomach) and lower part (hepatobiliary and colon) of the gastrointestinal system. We would like to explore the latest era of integrative therapeutic target in gastrointestinal cancers taking into consideration of various aetiologies including genetic and exposome (dietary factors, microbial, hormonal, environmental insults) and their interactions with the host microenvironment.
AACR 2017 Proceedings: Abstracts 1-3062
The AACR Annual Meeting highlights the best cancer science and medicine from institutions all over the world. Attendees are invited to stretch their boundaries, form collaborations, attend sessions outside their own areas of expertise, and learn how to apply exciting new concepts, tools, and techniques to their own research. Part A contains abstracts 1-3062 accepted for the 2017 meeting.

Enteric Glia
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a complex neural network embedded in the gut wall that orchestrates the reflex behaviors of the intestine. The ENS is often referred to as the “little brain” in the gut because the ENS is more similar in size, complexity and autonomy to the central nervous system (CNS) than other components of the autonomic nervous system. Like the brain, the ENS is composed of neurons that are surrounded by glial cells. Enteric glia are a unique type of peripheral glia that are similar to astrocytes of the CNS. Yet enteric glial cells also differ from astrocytes in many important ways. The roles of enteric glial cell populations in the gut are beginning to come to lig...

The techniques in this text are presented in a friendly step-by-step fashion, providing useful tips and potential pitfalls while enabling researchers at all stages to embark on basic problems using a vareity of technologies and model systems. - Focus on protein identification using mass spectrometry - Step-by-step procedures detailing materials, procedures, comment and pitfalls - Information on the plethora of technologies needed to tackle complex problems
Medical Nihilism
Medical nihilism is the view that we should have little confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions. Jacob Stegenga argues persuasively that this is how we should see modern medicine, and suggests that medical research must be modified, clinical practice should be less aggressive, and regulatory standards should be enhanced.
Naturalism in the Philosophy of Health
In a series of papers published in the 1970s, Christopher Boorse proposed a naturalist theory of health, mainly based on a value-free concept of ‘biological function’, a concept of ‘reference class’ and the notion of ‘statistical normality’. His theory has profoundly shaped the philosophical debates on the concepts of health and disease. It could even be said that the numerous criticisms of his 'biostatistical theory' are at the centre of what is usually referred to as the debate between ‘normativists’ and ‘naturalists’. Today, the predominant naturalist theory of health is still Boorse’s biostatistical theory. This volume offers the first comprehensive review and criti...
Philosophy of Cancer
Since the 1970s, the origin of cancer is being explored from the point of view of the Somatic Mutation Theory (SMT), focusing on genetic mutations and clonal expansion of somatic cells. As cancer research expanded in several directions, the dominant focus on cells remained steady, but the classes of genes and the kinds of extra-genetic factors that were shown to have causal relevance in the onset of cancer multiplied. The wild heterogeneity of cancer-related mutations and phenotypes, along with the increasing complication of models, led to an oscillation between the hectic search of ‘the’ few key factors that cause cancer and the discouragement in face of a seeming ‘endless complexity...
