Primary Medical Therapy for Breast Cancer
The European School of Oncology (ESO) is a non-governmental, non profit-making organisation, which was founded in 1982. The rate of progress in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of cancer is so rapid that oncologists need continuous updating in order to provide their patients the best chances for palliation or cure. ESO recognises the multi-disciplinary nature of cancer treatment, and its activities encompass all medical, nursing and technical specialities dealing with neoplastic diseases. One of the many initiatives of ESO has been the institution of task forces, where leading experts exchange views on the state-of-the-art of a given field, discuss controversies, new developments, and gi...
Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer
Because of the predominant role estrogens play in the development of breast cancer and the limited effectiveness of tamoxifen therapy, more selective therapeutics targeting estrogen signaling have been developed: selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), selective estrogen receptor downregulators (SERDs), and a third generation of drugs that inhibit the aromatase required for estrogen biosyntheses. The authors examine clinical and translational research results from studies of these endocrine therapies and chemotherapies in pre- and postmenopausal women with early and advanced breast cancer. Advances in Endocrine Therapy of Breast Cancer provides guidance on promising new therapeutics and treatment combinations based on compelling clinical evidence.
Endocrine Therapies in Breast and Prostate Cancer
It has been recognized for many years that cancers originating in the breast and prostate gland are frequently 'endocrine-dependent. ' Traditional thera pies included surgical endocrine ablative procedures or pharmacologic hor mone administration, both designed to antagonize the stimulatory effects of sex steroid hormones. In the past decade, several new treatment strategies for these tumors have emerged from basic studies in reproductive biology and mechanisms of action of steroid hormones. In some instances, these new treatments have elimin ated or reduced the need for major surgical ablative procedures or for toxic hormone therapy. The clinical role for other new treatments has not yet be...
Hormone Therapy in Breast and Prostate Cancer
This book describes the principles underlying targeted hormonal treatments, assesses the actions of new and established agents, and illustrates the new applications of hormonal chemoprevention for breast cancer.
Malignant
"Cancer can kill: this fact makes it concrete. Still, it's a devious knave. Nearly every American will experience it up-close and all too personally, wondering why the billions of research dollars thrown at the word haven't exterminated it from the English language. Like a sapper diffusing a bomb, Jain unscrambles the emotional, bureaucratic, medical, and scientific tropes that create the thing we call cancer. Scientists debate even the most basic facts about the disease, while endlessly generated, disputed, population data produce the appearance of knowledge. Jain takes the vacuum at the center of cancer seriously and demonstrates the need to understand cancer as a set of relationships--eco...
Breast Cancer
This volume provides an in-depth understanding of the biology of breast cancer, the natural history of the disease, the use of molecular markers, the interpretation of clinical trial data, and the integration of multiple therapeutic modalities. Outcomes of clinical trials and details about commonly used drug regimens, drug dosage, and the expected side effects are summarised.
Cancer Chemoprevention
Accompanying CD-ROM in pocket at end of v. 2 contains a compact e-book version of v. 2.
