Cancer Genome and Tumor Microenvironment (Cancer Genetics)
By Andrei Thomas-Tikhonenko
* Number Of Pages: 480
* Publication Date: 2009-12-14
Product Description:
Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes had been traditionally studied in the context of cell proliferation, differentiation, senescence, and survival, four relatively cell-autonomous processes. Consequently, in the late ’80s-early ’90s, neoplastic growth was described largely as an imbalance between net cell accumulation and loss, brought about through mutations in cancer genes. In the last ten years, a more holistic understanding of cancer has slowly emerged, stressing the importance of interactions between neoplastic and various stromal components: extracellular matrix, basement membranes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells of blood and lymphatic vessels, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, etc. The commonly held view is that changes in tumor microenvironment are “soft-wired”, i.e., epigenetic in nature and often reversible. Yet, there exists a large body of evidence suggesting that well-known mutations in cancer genes profoundly affect tumor milieu. In fact, these non-cell-autonomous changes might be one of the primary reasons such mutations are preserved in late-stage tumors.

DOWNLOAD:
Updated for its Sixth Edition, this pocket manual is a practical, accessible, comprehensive guide to the management of patients with cancer. In an outline format designed for rapid reference, the book provides the essential information needed for fast, effective clinical decision-making at the bedside. Coverage begins with principles of cancer management, proceeds through the specific malignancies, and then focuses on the organ-specific complications of cancer, whether due to the disease or its treatments. The unique appendices permit better readability within the chapters by placing frequently referenced, large, complex, and detailed tables at the end of the book. The appendices present cytogenetic nomenclature, toxicity of chemotherapy, critical tumor identifiers, and combination chemotherapy regimens for lymphomas

Male Reproductive Cancers: Epidemiology, Pathology and Genetics (Cancer Genetics)
By William D. Foulkes, Kathleen A. Cooney
* Number Of Pages: 345
* Publication Date: 2009-12-08
Product Description:
Knowledge about cancer genetics is rapidly expanding, and has implications for all aspects of cancer research and treatment, including molecular causation, diagnosis, prevention, screening, and treatment.
Additionally, while cancer genetics has traditionally focused on mutational events that have their primary effect within the cancer cell, recently the focus has widened, with evidence of the importance of epigenetic events and of cellular interactions in cancer development. The role of common genetic variation in determining the range of individual susceptibility within the population is increasingly recognized, and is now being widely addressed using information from the Human Genome Project. These new research directions will highlight determinants of cancer that lie outside the cancer cell, suggest new targets for intervention, and inform the design of strategies for prevention in groups at increased risk.
Today, the NCI is putting more and more money into research into the genetics of cancer. The very first of the NCI’s stated research priorities is a project called The Cancer Genome Atlas. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing. The NCI and the NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, where the series editor is employed) have each committed $50 million over three years to the TCGA Pilot Project.
This book proposes cover the latest findings in the genetics of male reproductive cancers; specifically cancers of the prostate and testes. The volume will cover the epidemiology of these cancers; model systems, pathology, molecular genetics, and inherited susceptibility
