Written by world authorities on the subject, this reference
comprehensively covers every aspect of colorectal cancer.
Addressing the molecular mechanisms, genetics, identification, and
therapy of disease, this guide covers new pharmaceutical
developments, current screening protocols, and modern methods of
disease management by specialists at renowned institutions such as
the Royal Marsden Hospital, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center, and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
Now fully revised and in its fourth edition, the Oxford Handbook of
Oncology has been the essential go-to guide for students and
practitioners in oncology for over a decade. The scientific basis
and diagnosis of cancers is covered, as well as drugs, biomarkers,
and the presentation and psychosocial aspects of oncology. Concise,
practical, and comprehensive, there is no better companion for both
common conditions and challenging emergencies. The field of
oncology has surged forward since the last edition was published
and the Oxford Handbook of Oncology has been fully revised and
updated to reflect these recent advances so you can be sure that
the vital information you need is in your hands. This handbook
incorporates changes such as the understanding of the science of
cancer, novel therapies in breast, lung, renal, and melanoma,
molecular sub-classification of common solid cancers, personalized
therapy approaches, new agents in hard to treat cancers, the
benefits of new technologies in radiotherapy, and the emerging data
on the importance of the immune response. Written by experts in the
field to ensure that it is grounded in real life clinical practice,
this handbook provides a concise guide to all aspects of oncology
for all students, nurses, and junior faculty responsible for the
care of cancer patients, while also providing further reading and
highlighting areas of controversy for those who need a more
detailed understanding.
This book addresses a void in the synthetic archaeological
knowledge of the North Pacific by enabling a more informed
evaluation of North Pacific Rim seafaring hypotheses. It answers
questions about intra- and inter-regional relationships in the
evolution of maritime adaptations throughout the region. The
authors collectively address evidence of aquatic activities during
the Late Pleistocene and Holocene in the Sea of Japan, Sea of
Okhotsk and adjacent coastal areas of Korea, Japan, Sakhalin
Island, the Kurile Islands and the Russian Far East with syntheses
placing the region into a larger North Pacific context. This
examination provides essential data on human modes of terrestrial
adaptation and the transition to maritime lifeways over the last
40,000 years. It also provides a much-needed foundation to better
understand the peopling of the New World 17,000 years ago, either
by a pedestrian transit or through the use of watercraft, or more
likely a combination of the two. As one of the first publications
on the prehistory of the maritime region of Northeast Asia provided
in English, with contributions by leading Korean, Japanese,
Russian, Canadian, European and US-based researchers of the region,
this volume presents a means for archaeologists to assess proposed
hypotheses pertaining to late Pleistocene and Holocene seafaring
around the North Pacific Rim. It is an essential read for
specialists in history, archaeology, behavioural ecology and
maritime evolution.
San Clemente Island is a microcosm of California coastal
archaeology from prehistoric through historic times-not only
because of the extensiveness of its archaeological remains but
because those remains have been so well preserved. In California
Maritime Archaeology, the authors use the island as a platform to
explore evidence of early seafaring, colonization,
paleoenvironmental change, and cultural interaction along the
California coast. They make a strong case that San Clemente island
should be seen as a kind of "California archaeological Galapagos,"
offering an extraordinary variety of ancient life as well as
surprising information about prehistoric hunter-gatherers of the
northern Pacific. The authors' two decades of research have
resulted in this rich cultural history that defies widespread
assumptions about California's ancient maritime history.
