Genetic Predisposition to Cancer 2nd Edition

Genetic Predisposition to Cancer
Genetic Predisposition to Cancer (Hodder Arnold Publication) [Hardcover] Rosalind A. Eeles (Author), Douglas F. Easton (Author), Bruce A. J. Ponder (Author), Charis Eng (Author). This is the second textbook in recent years to provide a comprehensive assessment of the evolving field of pediatric neuro-oncology. Before the publication of this book and Tumors of the Pediatric Central Nervous System (R.F. Keating, et al. Stuttgart, Germany: Thieme, 2001), there had not been an inclusive review of this topic since the early 1990s. In contrast to Tumors of the Pediatric Central Nervous System, whose editors reside in the United States (along with most of the authors), Brain and Spinal Tumors of Childhood is edited and largely authored by experts from outside the United States. For this reason, it offers a more international perspective on the field. The book is divided into six major sections. In addition to the anticipated chapters on the major neuro-oncologic diagnoses of childhood, there are sections on epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment planning, treatment techniques, late sequelae, and supportive care. Chapter 2, which gives a brief time line and pictorial presentation highlighting the historical basis of neuro-oncology, is unusual.

Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification

Cancer Risk Assessment 
Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification [Hardcover] - Ching-Hung Hsu (Editor), Todd Stedeford (Editor). With a weight-of-the-evidence approach, cancer risk assessment indentifies hazards, determines dose-response relationships, and assesses exposure to characterize the true risk. This book focuses on the quantitative methods for conducting chemical cancer risk assessments for solvents, metals, mixtures, and nanoparticles. It links these to the basic toxicology and biology of cancer, along with the impacts on regulatory guidelines and standards. By providing insightful perspective, Cancer Risk Assessment helps researchers develop a discriminate eye when it comes to interpreting data accurately and separating relevant information from erroneous. The book begins with an overview of cancer risk assessment, science policy, and the regulatory framework for industrial chemicals and biocides. Next, all the core concepts, skills, and methods needed to perform cancer risk assessments are covered in detail. Each chapter of this contributed work has been written by one or more leading international experts. Their contributions integrate a comprehensive review of the scientific literature with their own personal hands-on experience as well as their knowledge of current regulations and testing guidelines.

Encyclopedia of Cancer 2nd Edition – Manfred Schwab

Encyclopedia of Cancer
Encyclopedia of Cancer 2nd Edition – Manfred Schwab. The Encyclopedia of Cancer provides rapid access to focused information on all topics of cancer research for clinicians, research scientists and advanced students. Given the overwhelming success of the first edition, which appeared in 2001, and fast development in the different fields of cancer research, it has been decided to publish a second fully revised and expanded edition, following the principal concept of the first edition that has proven so successful. Recent developments are seeing a dynamic merging of basic and clinical science, with translational research increasingly becoming a new paradigm in cancer research. The merging of different basic and clinical science disciplines towards the common goal of fighting against cancer has long ago called for the establishment of a comprehensive reference source both as a tool to close the language gap between clinical and basic science investigators and as a platform of information for students and informed laymen alike. While the First Edition featured scholarly contributions from approximately 300 scientists/clinicians in one Volume, the Second Edition includes more than 1.000 contributors in 4 Volumes with an A-Z format of more than 7.000 entries. It provides definitions of common acronyms and short definitions of related terms and processes in the form of keyword entries.
