This insightful volume opens new horizons for exploring modern therapeutic entities and emerging targets for combating the deadly disease of cancer. The authors provide a review of cancer along with descriptions of its molecular level mechanisms and emphasize the role of promising new therapies, including herbal therapies, that can be utilized for the treatment of metastatic diseases. The chapters look at specific approaches that have been researched and developed and that have almost reached the standardization stage, such as intracellular mechanisms, particularly phosphoprotein-enriched astrocytes and transthyretin proteins; CXCR4; autophagy-inhibiting drugs; spatiotemporal genetic analysis; tyrosine kinase inhibitors; and more. Also considered are advances in diagnostic systems like intra vital microscopy and molecular imaging.

Business process is the enterprise. Business Process Management (BPM) is about continuously managing buisness processes. BPM is the greatest opportunity companies have to become process managed. This book is about the need for BPM, what is BPM, BPM concepts from a management and technology standpoint, designing and implementing BPMS. This book covers the "what and why" of BPM presenting examples why BPM cannot be ignored by companies. Then the book covers the "how of BPM" mentioning in details the process life cycle (design-deploy-monitor-optimize) coupled with best practices and implementation strategies. I make clear that implementing BPMS is a challenging task and is not very easy. It requires clear understanding of BPM. This book will be useful for BPM stakeholders and senior management to understand the need for BPM and the high level planning and commitment needed. This book provides a vendor neutral roadmap to implement BPMS.
