Cancer Stem Cells: Emerging Concepts and Future Perspectives in Translational…

The concept of cancer stem cells has great clinical implications. This is due to the fact that small subpopulations of these cells have been identified in a variety of neoplastic conditions ranging from solid tumors to liquid malignancies. Although there are some huge gaps in our current understanding of the role played by cancer stem cells in cancer biology, a growing body of evidence provides…

Cancer Nanotheranostics

This Brief provides a clear insight of the recent advances in the field of cancer theranostics with special emphasis upon nano scale carrier molecules (polymeric, protein and lipid based) and imaging agents (organic and inorganic).

Cancer Immunology : Cancer Immunotherapy for Organ-Specific Tumors

Cancer Immunology is intended as an up-to-date, clinically relevant review of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. This volume focuses on the immunopathology and immunotherapy of organ cancers in detail. It clearly explains their immunology and describes novel immunotherapy for specific cancers, including pediatric solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, gastrointestinal tumors, skin cancers, b…

Cancer Immunology : Bench to Bedside Immunotherapy of Cancers

This translational book describes in detail the clinical application of novel approaches in cancer immunotherapy with the aim of educating clinicians in the implications of the most recent research and new developments in the field. The scope is broad, encompassing, for example, prognostic biomarkers for personalized cancer treatment, strategies for targeting tumor immunosuppression, gene thera…

Cancer Epidemiology Among Asian Americans

Cancer Epidemiology in Asian Americans is a comprehensive volume that provides the most current research on cancer etiology within this fast growing population sub-group in the United States. The book explores epidemiologic methods that are typically used in migrant studies, providing descriptive epidemiology of cancer patterns separately in Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and other Asian ethnic gr…

Pediatric Neuro-oncology

Pediatric Neuro-Oncology is undergoing a rapid transformation within all of its key disciplines. Rapid advances in our understanding in the biology of medulloblastoma, pontine glioma, low-grade and high-grade glioma, ependymoma, embryonal tumors abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANER), and typical rhabdoid teratoid tumor (ATRT) have ushered in a new era of clinical and molecular diagnostic…

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…

Biomarkers in Kidney Disease

In some countries such as the United States, kidney disease kills more people than cancers of the prostate or breast. In the United States for example there are over 15 million individuals with kidney disease. Translated to a worldwide basis, kidney disease of various aetiologies represent a significant burden on healthcare systems, affecting mortality, morbidity and also the family unit. It is…
