Lymphangiogenesis and Cancer Metastasis introduces the new field
of lymphatic vessel growth and development, and its relationship to
the metastatic spread of cancer cells.
The book covers all aspects of this new field from the
fundamental role that protein growth factors and their receptors
play in lymphangiogenesis to the potential application of these
advances to cancer diagnosis and treatment. Other clinical aspects
explored include the mechanisms and importance of lymph node
metastasis, the role of the lymphatics in lymphangioleiomyomatosis
and Kaposi s sarcoma, and approaches for imaging lymphatics in
cancer.
The book also covers the innovative approaches taken by
researchers to explore new roles for lymphatic vessel biology in
the context of cancer. The information presented in this volume,
which describes the revolutionary concepts of tumor
lymphangiogenesis, will be of interest to all students, scientists
and oncologists who are seeking to understand the complexities of
tumor metastasis.
Key Features:
- Presents fundamental concepts of tumor lymphangiogenesis and
the molecules which control this process
- Provides a comprehensive summary of current research in this
ground breaking area
- Provides a book which links progress in basic tumor and
developmental biology with current and future oncology
practise
- Is an essential text for molecular biologists, cell biologists
and oncologists seeking to understand the implications of this
rapidly developing area.
