Liver Metastasis: Biology, Diagnosis and Treatment offers a comprehensive overview of liver metastasis by providing a collection of pivotal contributions from an international faculty. A wide range of topics are presented, with each contributor focusing on his own area of expertise to provide the latest techniques as well as valuable insights based on a wealth of experience. Epidemiological and biological aspects are discussed, diagnostic and staging problems are reported, and all treatment modalities are analysed including gene therapy, immunotherapy and palliative care. The standard approaches to diagnosis and therapy are examined whilst new and future trends are reported on and explored. Of interest to both specialists and postgraduates in the fields of oncology and gastroenterology this book will also be of interest to researchers in internal medicine.
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 639,000 articles from more than 29,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2010, have been catalogued.
The aim of this book is to present a unique compilation of lectures given by international speakers at the Hammersmith Hospital during the recent Meetings in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and Transplantation. New therapeutical approaches, advances in oncology and in diagnostic imaging, which reduce the need for invasive techniques and reach an improvement in survival and quality of life in cancer, are considered in this book. Modern literature has been reviewed with special reference to articles of general interest. In the clinical management of patients with liver, bile duct and pancreas diseases, it is important to assess the degree of disturbance and to diagnose the causative insult, and therefore clinical and laboratory methods of assessing each of these pathologies are of high interest. This version is an up-to-date account of diseases of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas, including transplantation, which we trust will be of value for surgeons, physicians and pathologists and also a reference book for medical students.
A state-of-the-art reference for transplantation specialists, gastroenterologists, immunologists, surgeons, and hepatologists. It covers the topics: diagnosis of acute rejection, relevance of histological findings for the diagnosis, frequency of acute rejection, potential risk factors for the development of acute rejection, influence of HLA-compatibility on acute rejection, course without and after cessation of basic immunosuppression and tolerance, hyperacute rejection, and developments to improve the operation technique in the animal experiment.
Introducing the first volume of a new series, Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology—Annual Advances in Oncology. This series of annual volumes will focus on the most significant changes in oncologic research and practice that have taken place during the preceding year. Each volume identifies scientific and clinical areas in oncology that are rapidly changing and show a high potential for affecting the management of cancer patients in the future. These areas may reflect current controversies in oncology and every effort is made to provide clear direction for the practicing oncologist.
Die Synergie von Evidenz und Erfahrung Eine maßgeschneiderte chirurgische Versorgung muss an Behandlungszielen, den individuellen Gegebenheiten und den Wünschen des betroffenen Patienten ausgerichtet sein. Individualisierte Chirurgie bedeutet weit mehr als die Anwendung von Standardverfahren und die Umsetzung von Leitlinien. Sie basiert auf profunder Erfahrung, Kenntnis der Erkrankung und Einschätzung des Patienten einschließlich seiner Belastbarkeit. Sie untersucht, mit welchem Verfahren dem Einzelnen optimal, nachhaltig und risikominimiert geholfen werden kann. Erfahrene, international tätige Operateure vermitteln in diesem Werk einen aktuellen Einblick in die klinische endokrin-chiru...
