In this issue of Radiologic Clinics, guest editor Dr. Hillary W.
Garner brings her considerable expertise to the topic of Imaging of
Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors and Mimickers. Top experts provide
timely articles on the imaging findings and other relevant clinical
information of frequently encountered benign and malignant tumors
of bone and soft tissue, in addition to separate reviews on common
and potentially confusing tumor mimics. In addition, orthopaedic
oncologists have contributed valuable perspectives on how they
incorporate imaging information into their patient care plans.
Contains 11 relevant, practice-oriented topics including bone
tumors: what the oncology team wants to know; bone tumors: imaging
features of common and rare benign entities; bone tumors: common
mimickers; soft tissue tumors: what the oncology team wants to
know; soft tissue tumors: common mimickers; bone and soft tissue
tumors: horizons in radiomics and artificial intelligence; and
more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on imaging of bone and
soft tissue tumors and mimickers, offering actionable insights for
clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely,
focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the
field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and
practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based
reviews.
Multidrug-resistant bacteria play a significant role in public
health by destroying the potency of existing antibiotics.
Meanwhile, cancer remains one of the most common health problems
that impact society, resulting in many deaths worldwide. Novel
strategies are required to combat antimicrobial resistance and
create efficient anticancer drugs that could revolutionize
treatment. Nanomedicine is one such innovation that plays a
significant role in developing alternative and more effective
treatment strategies for antimicrobial resistance and cancer
theranostics. The Handbook of Research on Nano-Strategies for
Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance and Cancer is an essential
scholarly resource that examines (1) how to overcome the existing,
traditional approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance and
cancer; (2) how to apply multiple mechanisms to target the cancer
cells and microbes; and (3) how the nanomaterials can be used as
carriers. Featuring a range of topics such as bacteriophage,
nanomedicine, and oncology, this book is ideal for molecular
biologists, microbiologists, nanotechnologists, academicians,
chemists, pharmacists, oncologists, researchers, healthcare
professionals, and students.
Theranostics and Precision Medicine for the Management of
Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Translational and Clinical Outcomes,
Volume Three provides comprehensive information about ongoing
research and clinical data on liver cancer. The book presents
detailed descriptions about diagnostics and therapeutic options for
easy understanding, with a focus on precision medicine approaches
to improve treatment outcomes. This updated volume discusses topics
such as clinical and safety assessment of HCC patients, liver
transplantation as a therapeutic option, immunotherapy
interventions, and image-based surveillance. In addition, it
discusses immunohistology of HCC-enabled precision medicine and
artificial intelligence for hepatocellular carcinomas. This is a
valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate
students, hepathologists and members of biomedical research who
need to understand more about liver cancer to apply in their
research work or clinical setting.
Overcoming Drug Resistance in Gynecologic Cancers provides
up-to-date information related to important gynecologic cancers and
focuses on mechanisms of drug resistance, genetics, signaling,
immunology, health disparities, nanotechnology, economic
considerations and financial impacts. The book covers not only drug
resistance but also important means to reverse resistance both in
the laboratory and clinic. The book discusses topics such as
lifestyle, nutrition and risk of gynecologic cancers, the financial
impact of drug resistance, chemosensitizing agents and targeted
therapies in cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancer,
immunotherapy to overcome drug resistance, and genetic
polymorphisms in gynecologic cancers. Additionally, it discusses
ethnic and racial health disparity perspectives and future
developments in chemosensitizing activities to reverse drug
resistance in gynecologic cancers. It is a valuable resource for
cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians and other biomedical
field members who are interested in new approaches to improve
chemotherapy outcome in patients with gynecologic cancers.
The Understanding, Prevention and Control of Human Cancer is an
account of how a married couple opened understanding of
environmental carcinogenesis. Elizabeth Cavert and James A. Miller
showed that enzymes of the human body activate and enable otherwise
benign organic chemicals to combine with DNA in such a manner that
cancer results. Their work is of particular note because cancer
causes more loss of life-years than the sum of all other causes of
death-and, as the President's (USA) Cancer Panel warned,
environmental carcinogenesis is a form of cancer that has been
previously "grossly underestimated". The Millers' cancer research
led to tests that identify dangerous chemicals which in turn
permits prevention and thus the control of human cancer.
Volume 37 will provide details on the major chemical constituents
of medicinal plants and their mechanism of action as the anticancer
compounds. This special issue, in addition to the previous volume
(volume 36 of The Enzyme series was on Natural Products and Cancer
Signaling Targets: Isoprenoids, Polyphenols and Flavonoids), will
highlight the significant advance made in the field in elucidating
mechanisms of anticancer effect of the major phytochemicals.
Foundations of Colorectal Cancer provides a holistic and
comprehensive dive into colorectal cancer, discussing the
contributions of each discipline that studies it, allowing its
understanding from the most demographic and ethical facts, to the
treatment process, its varieties and genetic background. Written by
experts in diverse areas such as cancer research, oncology,
genetics, biochemistry, psychology, social sciences, bioinformatics
and palliative care, the book brings real-world experiences to help
readers with any challenge they may face when dealing with patients
or during their research workflow. The content is split into nine
sections: Clinical manifestations and disease detection, covering
primary and secondary prevention, and the role of primary care;
Diagnosis and staging, discussing endoscopy, colonoscopy, molecular
pathology, and anatomopathological diagnosis; Treatment, including
endoscopic, surgical, radiological, and postoperative approaches;
Molecular and biological mechanisms, with the role of intestinal
microbiota, stem cells and signaling pathways; New diagnostic
methods, encompassing biomarkers and bioinformatics tools for
research; Biobanks, with an overview of their regulations and
importance in the research; Epidemiological studies, focusing on
incidence and mortality globally and by regions; Hereditary
colorectal cancer, differentiating nonpolyposis and polyposis
types; and Addressing the consequences of colorectal cancer,
covering psychological effects, nutrition and ethical issues.
