This reference provides a comprehensive overview of recent
developments in basic research that are relevant to the application
of retinoids for cancer prevention and treatment.;Organized in a
quick-referral format by specific disease site, this book:
describes the effects of retinoids on squamous differentiation in
normal, pre-malignant, and malignant epithelial tissues; addresses
the mechanisms by which cultured keratinocytes respond to
retinoids; considers the antitumor activity of combination therapy
with retinoids and cytokines; reviews the toxicity profiles of the
vitamin A molecule and the synthetically derived retinoid compounds
and their effects on humans; examines the use of retinoids in the
prevention of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
(SCC) and in the therapy of advanced SCC; and summarizes data on
the potential of retinoids to prevent epithelial cancer, to act as
adjuvants to current therapies in early stages of the disease and
to aid in the management of both solid tumours and hematologic
malignancies.;A guide for the many disciplines involved in the
preclinical studies and direct care of cancer patients, this book
serves as useful reading for clinical, surgical and radiation
oncologists; clinical immunologists; dermatologists;
obstetricians/gynaecologists; haematologists; otolaryngologists;
internists; nutritionists; and pulmonary-disease specialists.
