Controversies in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Treatment strategies in prostate cancer underlie a permanent change due to continuous improvements. Based on the 10th International Symposium on Special Aspects of Radiotherapy held in Berlin in 2006, this volume highlights key advances in surgical, radiooncological and systemic treatment standards for prostate cancer. Furthermore, interdisciplinary co-operations and controversies are presented and future developments are discussed. The four parts of the book cover the different stages of the disease - localized prostate cancer, the lymph node positive situation, biochemical recurrence, and hormone-refractory and metastatic prostate cancer. Special attention is given to the value and sequence of systemic treatment options in relation to surgery and radiotherapy. Proving the reader with the latest treatment standards of prostate cancer, this book will be of great value to urologists and radiation oncologists as well as to all others involved in the care of patients with prostate cancer.
Acute and Long-Term Side-Effects of Radiotherapy
Biologists and radiotherapists present their experimental work and clinical data in the field of radiation injuries of normal tissues and organs. Particular regard is payed to the relevance of biological mechanisms in clinical situations. Principles of radiation damage and combined treatment toxicity in radio-chemotherapy are being explained. The main topics discussed are the importance of microvasculature, time, doseand fractionation and factors modifying clinical radioresponse for early andlate radiation effects. Tissues and organs considered in this volume are mucosa and skin, lung and heart, bladder and muscle, CNS and eye. Special problems of pediatric radiotherapy, TBI, IORT and second malignacies are also mentioned.
Current Catalog
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Preclinical Hyperthermia
Physicians and biologists here present their experimental work in the field of hyperthermia, paying particular regard to its relevance in clinical situations. Principles of heat action and combined treatment modalities are explicated. The main topics discussed are the effects of such treatment on normal tissues, animal tumors, malignant cell lines and human tumors.
Controversies in the Treatment of Lung Cancer
Under the auspices of the 12th International Symposium on Special Aspects in Radiotherapy 2008 in Berlin, acknowledged experts presented their perspectives on small and non-small cell lung cancer, reflecting the latest standards and engaging in controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.In the first part of this volume, aspects of the diagnostic workup are highlighted from the histopathologist's point of view, followed by presentations concerning the value of PET-CT and whole-body MRI in the staging of lung cancer. The use and current methods in bronchoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, video-endoscopy and mediastinoscopy are discussed in detail. The second section presents surg...
Controversies in Gastrointestinal Tumor Therapy
This volume discusses diagnostic and therapeutic strategies including current controversial issues in the management of gastrointestinal tumors. Special emphasis is given to rectal and pancreatic cancer. The first part presents the latest diagnostic developments for rectal cancer with a focus on the role of preoperative radiotherapy and radio-chemotherapy. Also considered is the surgical technique of total mesorectal excision. Recurrent rectal cancer is another important issue under discussion. A large section of the book is devoted to the diagnosis and interdisciplinary treatment of pancreatic cancer. Controversies regarding the role of adjuvant radiochemotherapy are presented in detail. The final part is dedicated to the treatment of liver metastases and describes the results of surgical resection and new therapeutic approaches such as in situ ablation and radiosurgery. Offering an interdisciplinary perspective on gastrointestinal tumor therapy, this book will be of great value to surgeons and radiation oncologists. It will also be appreciated by other clinicians involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
Controversies in the Treatment of Skin Neoplasias
Based on the 8th International Symposium on Special Aspects of Radiotherapy held in Berlin in 2004, this volume discusses current controversial topics in the management of skin neoplasias with special emphasis on radiotherapeutic and dermatologic strategies. Following an interdisciplinary approach, it presents the latest diagnostic and therapeutic developments for cutaneous lymphoma, basal and squamous cell carcinomas, and malignant melanoma. Two further chapters focus on more uncommon tumors such as Kaposi�s sarcoma and Merkel cell carcinoma. A detailed overview of skin reactions to radiotherapy is given, and new trends in staging procedures are discussed . In summary, this book will not only be a valuable update for dermatologists and radiation oncologists, but will also provide useful insights for anyone involved in the care of patients with skin neoplasias.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a frequent disease of the elderly and the most common cause of blindness. Recently, various new treatment options have become available for ARMD. This book, written by recognized experts and including the results of international study groups, provides a comprehensive report on these treatments, documenting their rationale, uses, side-effects, and benefits. It will be of immense value to all with an interest in ARMD.
