Exercise, Energy Balance, and Cancer
While it is well established that the worldwide pandemic of overweight and obesity has profound effects on promoting cancer, it is now recognized that an alternative aspect of energy balance, namely physical activity and exercise have significant beneficial effects on all aspects of cancer across the spectrum from prevention through treatment and extending through survivorship. Moreover, salutary effects of physical activity and exercise extend across the age span from youth to old age and occur at all stages of cancer extending into palliative care. While the effect of physical activity and exercise on cancer may be partially mediated through obesity control, it is clear that conside...
New Developments in Cancer Research
Cancer is a group of different diseases (over 100) characterised by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer can arise in many sites and behave differently depending on its organ of origin. If a cancer spreads (metastasizes), the new tumour bears the same name as the original (primary) tumour. Significant progress has been made in recent years in the battle against cancer and in understanding its underlying biological mechanisms. This research progress has resulted in many experimental treatments and cures which establish hope for wide-spread cures. The book brings together important research from around the world in this frontal field.
Focus on Colorectal Cancer Research
In Western countries, cancer of the large intestine and rectum (colorectal cancer) is the second most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer). The incidence of colorectal cancer begins to rise at age 40 and peaks between ages 60 and 75. Cancer of the large intestine (colon cancer) is more common in women; rectal cancer is more common in men. About 5 percent of the people with colon or rectal cancer have more than one cancer of the colorectum at the same time. People with a family history of colon cancer have a higher risk of developing the cancer themselves. A family history of familial polyposis or a similar disease also increases the risk of c...
Statistical Modelling
This volume presents the published proceedings of the lOth International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, to be held in Innsbruck, Austria from 10 to 14 July, 1995. This workshop marks an important anniversary. The inaugural workshop in this series also took place in Innsbruck in 1986, and brought together a small but enthusiastic group of thirty European statisticians interested in statistical modelling. The workshop arose out of two G LIM conferences in the U. K. in London (1982) and Lancaster (1985), and from a num ber of short courses organised by Murray Aitkin and held at Lancaster in the early 1980s, which attracted many European statisticians interested in Generalised Linear Modelli...

Sport und körperliche Aktivität in der Onkologie
Vieles weist auf die positiven Wirkungen von Sport und körperlicher Bewegung in der Prävention von Krebserkrankungen hin. Und auch bei Tumorpatienten belegen Studienergebnisse günstige Auswirkungen. So mindert ein individuell angepasstes Bewegungstraining beispielsweise krankheits- und therapiebedingte Symptome, verbessert das psychische Befinden und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Steigerung der Lebensqualität. Kompetent beschreibt dieses Werk neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, State-of-the-Art-Empfehlungen, Perspektiven und derzeitige Limitierungen. Viele Themen, viele Fragen, viele Antworten: Medizinische Grundlagen und Epidemiologie, Prävention und Rehabilitation, wic...
