Breast Cancer 4

This book covers topics such as characteristics of breast cancer cells, molecular tumor classification methods, in vitro cancer models, breast cancer and microenvironment, breast cancer stem cells, gene regulation in breast cancer, and mechanism of breast cancer cell interaction, invasion as well as metastasis. The book will serve as a good guide for the scientists, researchers and educators in the field.

This book discusses gene expression and DNA abnormalities including methylation in breast cancer. A recent important topic, roles of miRNAs and their potential use in cancer therapy have been discussed in this cancer type as well.

This volume summarizes the treatment options from the onset of breast carcinogenesis to early-local advanced and metastatic breast cancer. This book includes a comparison between different chemotherapy agents and targeted therapies with published phase II-III studies. Photodynamic treatments have been included in this book.

This book consolidates recent advances in breast cancer biology and therapeutics, covering a broad spectrum of interrelated subjects. The book covers topics such as pathobiology of breast cancer, biomarkers, in vitro models of breast cancer, pharmacotherapy, screening and management, diagnostic imaging, and more.

This book discusses various aspects of breast cancer carcinogenesis from clinics to its hormone-based as well as genetic-based etiologies for this deadly cancer. The book will contribute to the development of novel diagnostic as well as therapeutic approaches.

This volume thoroughly examines breast cancer from basic definitions, to cellular and molecular biology, to diagnosis and treatment. This book also has some additional focus on preclinical and clinical results in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

This book considers breast cancer from many novel and exciting perspectives. New insights into the basic biology of breast cancer are discussed together with high throughput approaches to molecular profiling. Innovative strategies for diagnosis and imaging are presented as well as emerging perspectives on breast cancer treatment.

The volume emphasizes that there are many challenges to studying breast cancer risk, including the possibility that some exposures that may influence risk occur early in a woman's life, even in utero. The book recommends examining exposures at all stages of life, not just during adulthood, as well as taking a multidisciplinary approach to studies of breast cancer risk. It also emphasizes developing new methods for epidemiologic research, for accurately assessing exposure to potential risk factors, and for testing the cancer risk of chemicals and other substances.
