 | Fatigue in Cancer Product# 460552766 Selling for $75 "Fatigue in Cancer provides a comprehensive review of the key issues involved in the research and practical application of current evidence and best practice guidelines for addressing cancer-related fatigue. An international group of contributors draw together core topics relating to this complex area of cancer management, focusing on issues of definition, patho-physiology, treatment related variables and the psychological, social and emotional impact on patients, families and carers. Critical reviews of practical management strategies for both adults and childrens are included, as are the current approaches to the measurement of cancer-related fatigue in clinical and research contexts. The book contributes a multi-disciplinary overview of a problem increasingly overlooked by cancer scientists, researchers, and clinicians. This book demonstrates the considerable capacity of cancer-related fatigue to impact on quality of life. Its multi-disciplinary focus and consideratio" |
 | Nutritional Oncology Product# 460684256 Selling for $183.95 "Nutritional Oncology is an emerging field with great significance for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Over the last decade, the number of medical oncologists, nurses, dietitians, and basic scientists concerned with this field has increased markedly. Molecular biology and genetics remain central to this interdisciplinary field which integrates basic science and its clinical application. Cancer results from the expression of genomic changes. Nutritional oncology seeks to modify the environmental factors influencing these genetic changes and their expression at every stage of carcinogenesis, from initiation of the cancer cell to its metastatic spread to other areas of the body.In this regard, nutritional oncology is relevant to some of the most common forms of cancer including, breast, prostate, colon, ovarian, uterine, and pancreatic cancers. Nutritional Oncology defines this rapidly emerging area of tremendous interest to researchers, a field poised to become a subfield of oncology. This reference provides an assessment of nutritional impact on the development and growth of cancer (or the prevention of such development and growth) as well as its role in cancer treatment. In addition to an overall discussion of nutrition and cancer, the book discusses specific nutrients and classes of nutrients. It also covers various clinical trials in nutritional care." |

 | Molecular Biology and Pathology of Paediatric Cancer Product# 460767897 Selling for $348 "There has been an explosion of knowledge and enormous progress in the fundamental understanding of the biology of cancer in recent years. This has included the realisation that cancer occurs when normal cellular functions are disturbed leading to a malignant phenotype. Much research has focused on understanding the types of disturbances that can occur, the contribution that these abnormalities can make to the development and behavior of particular cancers and more recently, the recognition that these cellular and genetic abnormalities can provide rational targets for new therapeutic approaches. Information about the biology of cancers that occur in children has increased in parallel with these more general advances and this book is intended to provide a focus for readers who wish to have an understanding of our current state of knowledge. An international group of editors and contributors provide guidelines on the molecular biology and pathology of paediatric oncology," |
