This book pursues a multidisciplinary approach, presenting chapters
with updated information on various aspects of treatment for
patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Authors have been selected
from expert centers in Europe and the United States. The goal of
this book is to comprehensively summarize recent data and provide
inspiring ideas to optimize the care of patients with
neuroendocrine tumors. Neuroendocrine tumors are fascinating
multifaceted diseases that can primarily localize in many organs
with various presentations. These tumors are rare but their
increasing incidence renders likely that physicians caring for
cancers may have either already faced or may be certainly exposed
to diagnose and/or treat a patient with neuroendocrine tumors. Over
the last years, novel therapeutic options have emerged for
neuroendocrine tumors, profoundly challenging practices that had
previously been the standards for decades. These include - but are
not limited to - somatostatin analogues, targeted therapies such as
tyrosine kinase and mTOR inhibitors, antiangiogenic compounds, but
also peptide-receptor targeted therapy or radioembolization. This
changing field has generated novel treatment algorithms to guide
medical decisions. To better understand and handle the
multidisciplinary approaches that are required for optimizing the
care of neuroendocrine tumor patients, physicians are now looking
for references from experts and comprehensive reviews summarizing
current knowledge on treatments for patients with neuroendocrine
tumors.
The Art of UNIX Programming poses the belief that understanding the unwritten UNIX engineering tradition and mastering its design patterns will help programmers of all stripes to become better programmers. This book attempts to capture the engineering wisdom and design philosophy of the UNIX, Linux, and Open Source software development community as it has evolved over the past three decades, and as it is applied today by the most experienced programmers. Eric Raymond offers the next generation of “hackers” the unique opportunity to learn the connection between UNIX philosophy and practice through careful case studies of the very best UNIX/Linux programs. In addition, commentary is provided by Brian Kernighan, UNIX pioneer and best-selling author; Doug McIlroy, the inventor of the UNIX pipg; David Korn, the inventor of the korn shell; Jim Gettys and Keith Packard, inventors of X windows; Henry Spencer, an original UNIX hacker; and Ken Arnold, an original BSD developer and JINI creator; Mike Lesk, author of the legendary uucp, lex, and tbl programs; and Sturat Feldman, author of UNIX's famous make utility. The book is divided into 4 parts. Part I explores the philosophy behind the development of UNIX. Part II explores design principles and patterns that are at the core of the UNIX tradition. Part III covers the rich UNIX tradition of reuse and the amazing variety of programming tools available to the UNIX developer. Part IV explores the UNIX open standards process, and the advantage in portability that UNIX enjoys.
