Rainbow Hands

Ayesha, an angelic seven year old Bangladeshi, is growing up in an inner London City and meets her elderly neighbour. Mrs Peters, a white woman, has lived in the East End all her life. She is lonely and prejudiced against change, especially people different from herself. A most unlikely, yet beautiful friendship develops between them, bringing their two contrasting families together, crossing religious, cultural and racial barriers. Only Graham Peters, the youngest sibling, wants to make a different crossing with a view to join a racist political party. When Mrs Peters is attacked in her home, a chain of emotions unfolds, affecting both families and the rest of the community. A time for questioning loyalties, divisions, prejudices and friendship begins, in order to discover what really happened to Mrs Peters and more importantly, why.

Cancer still poses a significant challenge in healthcare since traditional treatments often fail to produce desired results and patient outcomes. Conventional therapies, like chemotherapy and radiation, can have substantial side effects and may not always be able to eliminate cancer cells. Moreover, the heterogeneity of tumors and individual responses to treatment create barriers to achieving consistent and long-lasting outcomes. Critical Developments in Cancer Immunotherapy offers a compelling solution to these challenges by delving into the cutting-edge field of cancer immunotherapy. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the latest advancements in harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer. Focusing on critical strategies like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy, the book provides insights into novel approaches that offer greater precision and effectiveness in cancer treatment.

Current research has been focused on conventional and newer anticancer modalities, recent discoveries in cancer research, and also the advancements in cancer treatment. There is a current need for more research on the advances in cancer therapeutics that bridge the gap between basic research (pharmaceutical drug development processes, regulatory issues, and translational experimentation) and clinical application. Recent promising discoveries such as immunotherapies, promising therapies undergoing clinical trials, synthetic...

Cancer Survivorship

This book is a marvelous compendium of eight articles that cover a wide range of topics, including breast cancer: management and survivorship, rectal cancer intersphincteric resection, head and neck cancer diagnosis and radiotherapy, synthetic peptides as antitumor agents, and recent advances in thyroid cancer. It has been a wonderful opportunity to co-edit this special edition. We are greatly appreciative of the work of all the contributors to the book, who brought with them tremendous diversity of perspectives and fields truly reflective of the complexity of the topic and who, through coming together in this project, serve as a nidus of the multidisciplinary collaboration in this field. Finally, we must acknowledge the thousands of cancer patients who have participated in the studies that have provided the information that has advanced the field so greatly in recent years.
