Branching Process Models of Cancer

This volume develops results on continuous time branching processes and applies them to study rate of tumor growth, extending classic work on the Luria-Delbruck distribution. As a consequence, the author calculate the probability that mutations that confer resistance to treatment are present at detection and quantify the extent of tumor heterogeneity. As applications, the author evaluate ovaria…

Diagnosis of Small Lung Biopsy An Integrated Approach

This volume provides a comprehensive review of the clinical, radiological and clinical aspects in the disease process. The text provides the general pathologist, clinician and pulmonary pathologist with a framework on how to work up a case of either non-neoplastic or neoplastic lung disease and provide clinically relevant information to all involved in patient care. The basic understanding of r…
