Fundamentals of Cancer Detection, Treatment, and Prevention

The professional guide to cancer diagnosis and therapy for researchers and clinicians

In Fundamentals of Cancer Detection, Treatment, and Prevention, distinguished researcher Surya K. De delivers a concise and authoritative guide to cancer treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. The book offers a comprehensive overview of cancer in humans, from its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis to the variety of treatment options available today. Intuitively organized by cancer type, this guide provides concise information on risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options for all commonly encountered tumors, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

All US FDA-approved drugsā€”like small molecules, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, whole antibodies, gene therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, and cell therapiesā€”are considered, and information about their generic and brand names, clinical uses, and mechanisms of action is presented. Readers will also find:

  • A thorough overview of human cancers, including cancer risk factors and possible preventions
  • Comprehensive explorations of bladder, blood, brain, and spinal cord cancers
  • Practical discussions of breast, colorectal, cervical, kidney, and liver cancer
  • In-depth examinations of lung, skin, ovarian, vaginal, vulvar, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, as well as mesothelioma

Perfect for pharmaceutical chemists, oncologists, pharmacologists, and medicinal chemists, Fundamentals of Cancer Detection, Treatment, and Prevention is an indispensable guide for professional researchers, whether they are working in the clinic or the pharmaceutical industry.
