Medicina oncologica

Autor: Gioacchino Robustelli Della Cuna , Pinuccia Valagussa , Gianni Bonadonna

Número de Páginas: 2058

L’ottava edizione di questo testo, considerato un importante punto di riferimento dell’oncologia italiana, è stata completamente aggiornata e rinnovata in modo sostanziale pur mantenendo inalterata la struttura di trattazione. Il volume riassume gli importanti progressi compiuti dalla medicina oncologica e tratteggia il ruolo attuale del medico oncologo esaminando i suoi doveri deontologici, i nuovi compiti nei confronti del paziente e della società e la necessità di curare i malati senza lasciarsi fuorviare dai progressi della scienza.

La Medicina Oncologica : Diagnosi, Terapia e gestione clinica

Autor: Stefano Cascinu , Roberto Labianca

Número de Páginas: 2293

Dopo diverse edizione del volume di Gianni Bonadonna, la casa editrice EDRA ha rilevato il catalogo della Masson ed ha voluto realizzare un nuovo testo per rendere conto degli enormi cambiamenti in oncologia medica con la rapida e costante evoluzione delle terapie oncologiche. In questi ultimi anni si è passati infatti dalla progressione lineare tra ricerca di base, sperimentazione e pratica clinica all’affermarsi di un nuovo modello di “flusso circolare”. Questo ha significato la possibilità di rispondere con farmaci mirati alle specifiche caratteristiche metaboliche, istologiche o molecolari del tumore. Nella trattazione di ciascuna neoplasia l’obiettivo degli autori era far emergere questo nuovo rapporto tra i dati di laboratorio e l’assistenza al letto del malato Il testo vuole essere un punto di riferimento per l’attività professionale quotidiana dell’oncologo clinico nel suo complesso ma sarà sicuramente uno strumento di formazione importante per lo specializzando.

Carcinoma de pulmón en no fumadores

Autor: Enric Carcereny

Número de Páginas: 209

El cáncer de pulmón es una enfermedad con muy mal pronóstico que en todo el mundo produce más de un millón de muertes al año, por delante del cáncer de mama, el de colon y el de próstata juntos. Está relacionado con el hábito de fumar, pero también puede aparecer en personas sin contacto con los tóxicos del tabaco, y es precisamente en esta subpoblación de pacientes no fumadores en la que se ha observado el mayor avance en los conocimientos de cáncer de pulmón. El descubrimiento de las mutaciones de EGFR y su tratamiento específico con inhibidores de la tirosina cinasa (erlotinib y gefi tinib) han abierto un camino en la terapéutica del cáncer de pulmón y del cáncer en general que ofrece un importante benefi cio para los pacientes, y una manera distinta de entender la enfermedad a los profesionales sanitarios. Posteriormente, con el descubrimiento de las translocaciones de ALK y su tratamiento, y de otras alteraciones moleculares, se han ampliado los conocimientos sobre el cáncer de pulmón y se ha roto el paradigma de considerarlo como una única enfermedad. Sin embargo, no hay que olvidar que la mayoría de los pacientes la presentan sin una alteración...

Encyclopedia of Cancer

Autor: Manfred Schwab

Número de Páginas: 4071

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. 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 Second Edition, which appeared in 2009, and fast recent development in the different fields of cancer research, it has been decided to publish a third fully revised and expanded edition, following the principal concept of the first edition that has proven so successful. Recent developments are seeing a dynamic progress in basic and clinical cancer science, with translational research increasingly becoming a new paradigm in cancer research. In particular, new approaches to both Personalized Cancer Medicine and Targeted Therapies have made promising progress. While the Second Edition featured scholarly contributions from approximately...

Biomarkers in Breast Cancer

Autor: Giampietro Gasparini , Daniel F. Hayes

Número de Páginas: 335

Expert laboratory and clinical researchers from around the world review how to design and evaluate studies of tumor markers and examine their use in breast cancer patients. The authors cover both the major advances in sophisticated molecular methods and the state-of-the-art in conventional prognostic and predictive indicators. Among the topics discussed are the relevance of rigorous study design and guidelines for the validation studies of new biomarkers, gene expression profiling by tissue microarrays, adjuvant systemic therapy, and the use of estrogen, progesterone, and epidermal growth factor receptors as both prognostic and predictive indicators. Highlights include the evaluation of HER2 and EGFR family members, of p53, and of UPA/PAI-1; the detection of rare cells in blood and marrow; and the detection and analysis of soluble, circulating markers.

Lung Cancer

Autor: Barbara Driscoll

Número de Páginas: 805

This work, Lung Cancer, Volume 2: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods and Reviews, in the Methods in Molecular Medicine series presents an overview of the current status of those methods useful in the diagnosis and tre- ment of lung cancer—both as it exists in the clinic and as it is being revoluti- ized in the laboratory. The book is intended to serve as a resource for researchers wishing to increase their knowledge of current and cutting edge technologies, in order that their investigations into neoplasms of the lung may benefit from this enriched diversity of techniques and approaches. Owing to the complex nature of the disease and the variety of methods available to analyze and attack it, no volume attempting to define diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to lung cancer can ever be complete. The sheer number of investigators involved in lung cancer research guarantees that some aspect will be inadvertently excluded. However, I hope that the range of techniques included herein will serve to open up new avenues of investigation for both the novice and experienced researcher.

Macromolecular Anticancer Therapeutics

Autor: L. Harivardhan Reddy , Patrick Couvreur

Número de Páginas: 627

In spite of the development of various anticancer drugs, the therapy of cancer has remained challenging for decades. The current therapy of cancer is overwhelmed because of the inability to deliver therapeutics to all regions of a tumor in effective therapeutic concentrations, intrinsic or acquired resistance to the treatment with currently available agents via genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, and toxicity. As a result, cancer therapy using conventional therapeutics and different types of treatment regimens using this therapeutics has not led to a convincing survival benefit of the patients. In this context, Macromolecular therapeutics offer several advantages over conventional low molecular therapeutics by various ways such as, enable the use of larger doses of these agents by limiting the toxicity, by enhanced permeability and retention into tumors, by tumor targeting using tumor-specific antibodies, by specific inhibition of oncogenes using anticancer oligonucleotides etc. Cancer treatment using this macromolecular therapeutics has considerably improved the survival benefit for patients. As a result, various macromolecular therapeutics are already commercialized or are under...

Fertility Challenges and Solutions in Women with Cancer

Autor: Hatem A. Azim Jr , Isabelle Demeestere , Fedro A. Peccatori

Número de Páginas: 147

This book, written by global experts in the field, provides a thorough overview on fertility and pregnancy challenges and solutions in women who are being or have been treated for cancer. The book addresses several topics, including pregnancy outcomes after a cancer diagnosis, the impacts of systemic anticancer therapy on fertility, the essentials of fertility preservation approaches in cancer patients, and fertility counseling. This is in addition to controversial topics like the role of ovarian stimulation in breast cancer patients, fertility preservation in cancer patients with BRCA mutation and the evolving role of GnRH analogues. Within this context, key open questions are discussed with reference to the latest evidence. The aim is to provide clinicians with a reliable resource that documents the most up-to-date knowledge on the feasibility and safety of the different approaches to fertility preservation and on the management of female cancer patients who would like to preserve fertility and achieve a pregnancy following their treatment.
