Wafik S. El-Deiry Editor 2013 In the last two decades, great strides have been made in unraveling molecular biology, immunology, genetics, and in some cases epigenetics as they apply to the cellular and organ pathology of cancer. This is hugely enabling in many ways as hematologists and oncologists throughout the world strive to develop the best and most personalized […]

Fazlul H. Sarkar Editor 2013 I would like to thank the Springer publishing group for their faith and trust in me to organize the special topic on the emerging role of epigenetics in cancer development and progression in the book entitled Epigenetics and Cancer. This book illustrates the complexities of the regulation and deregulation of genes in the development […]

Lesley A. Mathews • Stephanie M. Cabarcas Elaine M. Hurt Editors 2013 In recent years, the strides made in understanding and elucidating both the origins and biological mechanisms responsible for driving cancer progression have been quite impressive. Specifically, the momentum that has coincided with the discovery and investigation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), tumor-initiating cells (TICs) or cancerinitiating cells […]

Ulrich Pfeffer Editor 2013 Molecular Classification, Prognosis and Response Prediction

Fazlul H. Sarkar Editor 2012 I would like to thank the publisher to entrust me with organizing the special topic on the emerging role and molecular concepts of nutraceutical (natural agents) in human health especially the value of nutraceuticals for the prevention and/or treatment of human malignancies. This book illustrates the role of several dietary agents, collectively called nutraceuticals […]

Wen G. Jiang Editor 2012 Automation, throughput and new methods for routine tasks have been some of the challenges in cell-based function analyses. Recent progress and availability in impedance-based cell analysis technologies have been one of the shining examples that a technology platform may help to deal with some of these challenges.

William C.S. Cho Editor 2011 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have a revolutionary impact on cancer research over recent years. These small non-coding RNAs emerge as important players in tumorigenesis, leading to a paradigm shift in oncology. The rapid discovery of many miRNA targets and their associated pathways has contributed to the development of miRNAbased therapeutics for cancer.

Constantinos Koumenis • Ester Hammond Amato Giaccia Editors 2014 Signaling, Metabolism, Imaging, and Therapeutic Targets The tumor microenvironment has long been recognized for the critical roles it plays in both promoting the malignant progression of solid tumors and modifying the response of solid tumor cells to cytotoxic or targeted therapy. This book comprises 12 chapters that provide critical […]

Jose Russo • Irma H. Russo 2014 This book provides descriptions of the most common techniques used in breast cancer research with a special emphasis on the study of the normal breast as the basis for understanding the pathological processes in this organ. The authors have poured their 37 years of experience in the field of breast cancer research […]

Michael J. Gonzalez • Jorge R. Miranda-Massari 2014 It is a privilege bestowed upon us to write this book on Vitamin C and Cancer. It is humbling for us to follow in the steps of scientific giants such as Nobel Prize winner Hungarian physiologist, Dr. Albert Szent-Görgyi, American Medical Researcher Dr. Frederick R. Klenner, the great American scientist […]
