A synopsis of the use of lasers in gynecology is presented in this book; it is supported by more than 10 years of experience and backed up by studies inthe fields of experimental surgery, technical medicine and clinical gynecology. The authors show how laser-assisted preparation hasbroadened the spectrum of operative possibilities in gynecology. Major points of attention are experimental surgery and basic research, details of application with respect to specific indications, and future potential. Furthermore, the clear definition of the possibilities and limitations of laser technology puts an end to the highly stylized view of a patent wonder divorced from general operative standards. Thereis no doubt that users of laser technology stand on the threshold of a promising development and yet, despite the present elegant applications, thefirst steps to maturity are only now being taken.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state, and the new concepts for the future directions of modern cancer therapy. Bringing together all the relevant aspects from basic and applied science, and the clinical experiences of this new direction in medicine, it is an up-to-date summary of the activities in the field and will be the basis for evaluating future progress in this area.
This book reviews the state of the art presented by highly competent authors. The first two chapters are dedicated to clinical aspects of early diagnosis of important tumor types such as cervical cancer, breast cancer, cancer of the prostate and transitional cell carcinoma, skin cancer and melanoma, cancer of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach and colon, and hematological malignancies. In the following chapters the value of the different methodological approaches to early detection of cacner are reviewed: tomor markers, imaging procedures, histo- and cytopathology, cytogenetic and molecular genetic methods. The book is of interest to all physicians, to researchers who accept the challenge to improve early detectin of cancer, and to governmental or charity institutions designing and supporting screening programs for early detectionof cancer.
This is the most complete and up-to-date medical reference work available on the newest clinical developments and scientific findings dealing with contraception, infertility, the endocrinology of reproduction, andrology, reproductive surgery, IVF technology, ethics, and research on human fertility and sterility. It contains 65 chapters by prominent international authorities. As the volume editors state in their Foreword, Whether you are a gynecologist, endocrinologist, biologist, andrologist, or basic scientist, or whatever your own interest-reproductive surgery, assisted medical procreation techniques, new drugs, contraception, reproductive endocrinology, or perhaps all of these-you will find that this book contains the appropriate answers.
This is the first volume to provide a multidisciplinary approach to peritoneal carcinomatosis encompassing molecular mechanisms, histopathology, regional and systemic cytotoxic therapy, and surgical options. Illustrations aid the reader throughout in the many facets of this disease. The book will be of particular interest for medical, surgical and gynecological oncologists faced with the complexities of decision making in patients suffering from PC.
In this first authoritative overview on modern cancer chemotherapy 121 international specialists have contributed their experience and recent data for what is likely to become the gold standard in the field. The authors summarize knowledge gained over the past decade, from basic concepts to successful applications in the clinic, covering active and passive targeting strategies as well as tissue-specific approaches. All current and future targeted delivery systems are discussed, from ligand-based to antibody-based polymer-based systems, right up to micro- and nanoparticulate systems. A special section covers the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics, such as siRNA, miRNA and antisense nucleot...
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
This extensively documented, comprehensive survey of cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) traces the history of killer lymphocytes from 1960 to the present, providing a definitive resource for specialists and non-specialists alike. It offers an advanced analysis of CMC, including a comprehensive examination of key papers underlying its evolution, and provides a thorough discussion of the most recent advances in the field.
