Cancer: The Role of Genes, Lifestyle, and Environment (New Biology)

Cancers are produced by cells that have gone mad. Normal cells, on the other hand, are the sanest things in the world. They are polite and enjoy
the company of other cells. As a community, they work together for the good of the many, are well organized, hardworking, and content with
their lot in life. Heart cells enjoy pumping blood, brain cells would not change places with skin cells for anything under the Sun, and no way
would any of them do anything that would jeopardize the health of the body they so carefully constructed. Cancer cells do not care about any of
this. They do what they want and go where they please. If they decide to build a large tumor in the middle of the brain,well, that is what they are
going to do, even if it kills the body they are living in.
Taming a cancer cell is hard to do and usually fails. Normally, surgeons just cut them out or try to kill them in some way. It is a brutal
game from start to finish. But advances in the past 10 years are making it possible to deal with this disease in a more elegant fashion. Scientists
know now that a cancer cell’s madness is a fever of the genes, a fever that destroys the cell’s communication network and its ability to control its
own reproduction.Many of the affected genes have been identified, and by restoring them to health we can stop the cancer.
Although cancers have been diagnosed for the past 100 years, physicians were at a loss to explain the underlying causes of the disease.
Throughout much of the 1900s, scientists believed that cancer was caused by a microbial infection. Indeed, certain tumors found in chickens,
known as sarcomas, were shown to be infected with a virus, but most human cancers showed no such infection. Consequently, the cause
of this disease remained a mystery for many years even after the introduction of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s.Many investigators
at that time believed the cell’s genes were the main culprit, but there seemed to be no way to identify those genes or even to estimate the
number of genes that might be involved.

Application of Apoptosis to Cancer Treatment

Novel drugs are being developed which interact with the programmed cell death (apoptotic) machinery in cancer cells, thereby causing these cells to commit suicide and to be removed from the body. Research is also directed to investigate why the cancer cells sometimes lose the ability to undergo apoptosis after a certain period of time and methods are being developed to reactivate this cell death process. This book is intended for workers in the field and clinicians as a useful guide of the state of affairs in this exciting field which may offer more effective possibilities for treatment of cancer patients.

Mels Sluyser is the Editor of the journals APOPTOSIS and ANTI-CANCER DRUGS. He brings together a collection of papers written by the world’s leading experts in these fields.]

Cancer Metastasis -- Related Genes (CANCER METASTASIS -- BIOLOGY AND TREATMENT Volume 3) (Cancer Metastasis - Biology and Treatment)

This volume is the first attempt to summarize current knowledge about the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms controlling the metastatic phenotype. While all previous authors attempted to put their findings into a context for translation to the clinical situation, the state of the art does not fully allow this because the field of metastasis is relatively new. Nonetheless, the contents of this volume will be of use to members of the cancer research community and clinicians interested in developing and implementing novel forms of treatment for cancer.

Rectal Cancer Treatment (Recent Results in Cancer Research)

Rectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers world-wide. It is also a paradigm for multimodal management, as the combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is often necessary to achieve the optimal outcome. Recently, international experts met in Heidelberg, Germany to discuss the latest developments in the management of rectal cancer, including the anatomic and pathologic basis, staging tools, surgical concepts including fast-track surgery and laparoscopic resection, functional outcome after surgery and the role of radio- and chemotherapy. This monograph summarizes this meeting and gives an extensive overview of the current concepts in management of rectal cancer.

Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid Cancer describes all current diagnostic techniques, including FDG-PET and MRI. In recent years these modalities have documented hitherto hidden radioiodine-negative metastases, thus improving surgical therapy. The whole gamut of treatment, including surgery, radioiodine therapy, percutaneous radiation therapy and medical management, is covered. In some 10% of differentiated thyroid cancers, the well-known treatment tools of surgery and radioiodine therapy are not sufficient. New treatment modalities such as high-dose radioiodine therapy, redifferentiation therapy with retinoic acid and recombinant TSH are therefore highlighted. In a special section devoted to medullary thyroid cancer, new imaging procedures such as octreotide scintigraphy are described. The second edition includes two new chapters, on I-124 PET and dosimetry. Other chapters have been modified particularly in view of the new UICC classification, with special regard to the definition of T1 tumors.

Cancer Biology

A thorough yet concise account of cancer biology, this book emphasizes the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the transformation of normal into malignant cells, the invasiveness of cancer cells into host tissues, and the metastatic spread of cancer cells in the host organism. It also defines the fundamental pathophysiological changes that occur in tumor tissue and in the host animal or patient. The approach throughout the book is to discuss the historical development of a field, citing the key experimental advances to the present day, and to evaluate the current evidence that best supports or rules out concepts of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating cancer cell behavior. For all the areas of fundamental cancer research, an effort has been made to relate basic research findings to the clinical disease states. The book is well illustrated with schematic diagrams and actual research data to demonstrate points made in the text, and there is an extensive, up-to-date bibliography. In this revision, Dr. Ruddon has organized his text to provide more integrated discussion of the many topics covered in the third edition. At the same time, he has included much new material on molecular genetics and genetic diagnosis (e.g., DNA microarrays to mark tumors), RNA interference, stem cells, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis, etc.
