Tumor Trails
Tumor Trails: Journey Through Astrocytoma Research serves as a comprehensive compilation of influential scientific journal articles addressing the intricate molecular pathways, genetic mutations, and prognostic markers of astrocytomas-a key area within neuro-oncology. This meticulously curated collection spans varied research findings, from low-grade astrocytomas to aggressive glioblastomas, providing an indispensable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students alike. Delve into detailed studies on BCCIP, the prognostic value of DJ-1 and MIB-1, the calcium signaling pathway's role in tumorigenesis, and advanced techniques in imaging for enhanced diagnostic precision. This book also hi...
WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System
"WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System" is the first volume of the 4th Edition of the World Health Organization series on histological and genetic typing of human tumors. This authoritative, concise reference book provides an international standard for oncologists and pathologists and will serve as an indispensable guide for use in the design of studies monitoring response to therapy and clinical outcome. Diagnostic criteria pathological features and associated genetic alterations are described in a strictly disease-oriented manner. Sections on all recognized neoplasms and their variants include new ICD-O codes, incidence age and sex distribution, location, clinical sig...
Diet, Nutrition, and Health
The role of diet in health and disease has been the subject of much general discussion in the media; major reports were recently issued by the US Surgeon General as well as by the National Academy of Sciences. In Canada, the Department of National Health and Welfare has released dietary recommendations designed to reduce the risk of disease and improve Canadian health. Diet, Nutrition, and Health is a timely source of scientific documentation on diet and health. Contributors include: J. Barone, Joyce L. Beare-Rogers, John Cairns. C. Wayne Callaway, K.K. Carroll, Sonja L. Connor, William E. Connor, Claire Cronier, Philip J. Garry, J. Geboers, Richard B. Goldbloom, Joan Dye Gussow, Richard Havel, J.R. Hebert, Anthony B. Hodsman, W.P.T. James, David J.A. Jenkins, Jozef V. Joossens, Harold Kalant, Norman M. Kaplan, David Kritchevsky, Gilbert A. Leveille, J. Alick Little, Lewis E. Lloyd, Anthony B. Miller, William E. Mitch, Minako Nagao, Heather Neilsen, Hiroko Ohgaki, Pirjo Pietinen, Robert Rhyne, Daniel A.K. Roncari, Takashi Sugimura, Keiji Wakabayshi, Thomas M.S. Wolever, and Ernst L. Wynder.
Advances in Biology and Treatment of Glioblastoma
This volume covers the most important areas of glioblastoma – surgical resection, molecular pathology, targeted therapies, cancer stem cells, the role of DNA methylation, targeted sequencing for personalized therapy, animal models and advances in pediatric glioblastoma. Chapter authors are junior and senior investigators, who are well established in their particular areas and include neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, neurooncologists and basic scientists.
Neuroglia
Neuroglia is the only comprehensive reference book on the basic biology and function of glial cells. This long-awaited second edition has been completely reorganized and rewritten to include the dramatic advances in this field since the first edition was published ten years ago. The impact of the second edition will be greater than that of the first because the majority of neuroscientists now acknowledge that neuroglia are elemental to most, if not all, brain functions. The second edition covers the entire field of glial research from the basic molecular and cellular principles of these cells to their involvement in neurological diseases including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sc...
Prognosis in Advanced Cancer

Brain Tumors
Exciting new developments and discoveries of the last two decades are beginning to shed light on the complex biology of brain tumors and are advancing our understa- ing of the cellular and molecular processes involved in their initiation, progression, and clinical and biological behavior. The disease process in brain tumors is quite complex and the resulting tumors are characterized by a high degree of biological and clinical diversity. Thus, despite the advances of the last two decades, prognosis for patients with malignant brain tumors remains abysmal. Significant progress in the diagnosis, treatment and, ultimately, prevention of these tumors will require both the timely h- nessing of the...
Diet, Nutrition and Cancer
As data is accumulated life-style characteristics are shown to be major determinates of cancer risk in humans. Of these, diet is the most ubiquitous. Food constituents have been identified which can cause or enhance the likelihood of cancer and, conversely, protect against it. Such data encourage the hope that a full understanding of the impact of dietary constituents on carcinogenesis will lead to important means of cancer control. This international symposium coincided with an increasing awareness of the major impact diet can have on the occurrence of cancer, and at a time when the evaluation of existing data was critical for developing approaches to a complicated and important area of cancer research. The participating scientists represented a variety of disciplines ranging from epidemiology to molecular biology and the papers cover a diversity of subjects to provide a valuable state-of-the-art review of this topic. The presentations give rise to a sense of cautious optimism that future productive research on the relationship between diet, nutrition and cancer is feasible, and could result in the development of useful strategies for cancer prevention.
