Bone Metastases from Prostate Cancer
This book presents up-to-date information on one of the hottest topics in prostate cancer, namely bone metastases. The most recent developments with respect to biology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment are described, providing readers with an excellent understanding of the mechanisms of metastasis formation, the characteristics of metastases, their aggressiveness, and prognostic factors for treatment response. The coverage includes discussion of all of the best available options (laboratory, radiology, and nuclear medicine) for achieving early diagnosis and both established and novel therapeutic approaches. Detailed information is provided on hormonal manipulations, bone-targeted agents, vaccines, taxanes, and other treatments that are enriching the therapeutic armamentarium. The editors can be considered leaders in the field, with great experience in diagnostic and clinical oncology and research, and the authors are experts in diverse specialties. This ensures a multidisciplinary approach, mirroring the current situation in which treatment in patients with bone metastases is undertaken by a team of specialists and health professionals in a variety of fields.
Prostate Cancer and Bone Metastasis
The biology of solid tumor metastasis has been the subject of significant scientific and clinical interest for years and while experimental evidence reveals that metastasis is not solely a random event, very little is known about the biology of metastasis originating from prostate cancer. This is in spite of the fact that the majority of prostate cancer patients die with metastatic lesions to the bone. Progress in understanding this most important aspect of prostate cancer has been hampered by the lack of suitable animal models and an inability to accurately quantify bone metastases and their responses to therapy. Over the past decade, scientists in Japan and the United States have steadily ...
Good Ethics and Bad Choices
An analysis of how findings in behavioral economics challenge fundamental assumptions of medical ethics, integrating the latest research in both fields. Bioethicists have long argued for rational persuasion to help patients with medical decisions. But the findings of behavioral economics—popularized in Thaler and Sunstein’s Nudge and other books—show that arguments depending on rational thinking are unlikely to be successful and even that the idea of purely rational persuasion may be a fiction. In Good Ethics and Bad Choices, Jennifer Blumenthal-Barby examines how behavioral economics challenges some of the most fundamental tenets of medical ethics. She not only integrates the latest r...
Prostate Biopsy
Prostate Biopsy represents the standard procedure for diagnosing Prostate Cancer. This procedure can be performed transrectally, through perineum or occasionally through the urethra. Although the procedures of Prostate Biopsy are covered in numerous publications, there is still a need for gathering different aspects and methods in one source. Hopefully, this book will help physicians in their effort to provide the best treatment for their patients.
Women in Gynecological Oncology: 2021
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Oncology "Women in Gynecological Oncology” series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Oncology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Oncology.
Il tumore alla prostata
In che modo la diagnosi di tumore alla prostata impatta sull’equilibrio familiare, sulla vita di coppia e sui progetti di vita? Come viene gestita da parte dei clinici, medici e psicologi, la complessità della malattia nel caso del tumore alla prostata? Sono queste alcune tra le domande a cui gli Autori hanno cercato di rispondere attraverso un testo strutturato come una serie di “riflessioni”, nel duplice significato di “pensiero su” e di immagine riflessa. Uno spaccato sulle emozioni del paziente e sulle relazioni con partner, figli, medico curante, psicologi, che chiude con il punto di vista del paziente che ci racconta la ”sua” verità. Una narrazione che vuole portare alla luce gli aspetti psicosociali e le dinamiche interpersonali, talvolta complicate, tra i vari attori che ruotano intorno al paziente con tumore alla prostata.
