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.
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.
Lanzkowsky's Manual of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Seventh
Edition remains the go-to clinical manual for the treatment and
management of childhood cancers and blood disorders. It is a
comprehensive book on patient management, replete with algorithms
and flow diagrams, and includes a new section on vascular
anomalies. Reflecting the considerable advances in the treatment
and management of hematologic and oncologic diseases in children,
the seventh edition of this successful clinical manual is entirely
updated to incorporate all current treatment protocols, new drugs,
and management approaches. Its concise and easy-to-read format,
again, enables readers to make accurate diagnoses and treatment
decisions without having to reference larger medical textbooks.
Topics in this issue?include: Why does my patient have
leukocytosis?; Why Is My Patient Neutropenic?; Does My Patient with
a Serum Monoclonal Spike have Multiple Myeloma?; DVT and Pulmonary
Embolism; Why Does My Patient Have Lymphadenopathy/Splenomegaly?;
and Why Does My Patient have Thrombocytopenia?
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.
