Springer International Publishing AG The Invisible Hand of Cancer: The Complex Force
Book SynopsisOncology is a field characterized as “medicine of high complexity” and cancer is generally regarded as a complex system. Therefore, it cannot be classified and treated according only to its biology. Even though research on the biology of cancer has increased and more studies have been published, the related sociological, political and economic dimensions, as well as mathematical models that predict whether this condition will take one course or another, have often been neglected. The Invisible Hand of Cancer—The Complex Force of Socioeconomic Factors in Oncology Today unfolds the variables behind the biological disease, exploring the social aspects and presenting cancer as a model inside of the Complexity Theory. Cancer is a generic word for more than 200 diseases. In a wider view of cancer treatment, the various factors of cancer interact in multiple ways and it is a difficult task to identify and understand all the possible combinations in this system. All these variables and how they interact can be defined as the invisible hand of cancer. This book does not intend to be an exhaustive analysis of these aspects. It is a door being opened to the cancer research journey, along the years and beyond its biology. It will also discuss how social behavior can interfere in the evolution of cancer treatment, as a result of society’s way of thinking and choices, thus the importance of truly addressing cancer as an intricate system and a public health issue. After the success of my children’s books about cancer (Chubby’s Tale: The true story of a teddy bear who beat cancer, Bald is Beautiful: A letter for a fabulous girl, Cancer Daily Life, and What is Cancer?: A book for kids), I have developed a passion for writing about science in a simple way for non-scientist readers. I have also worked to build a career as a writer, communicating with patients, advocates, and oncology and pediatric oncology professionals, mostly on Twitter. Everyone knows someone who has or had cancer, so more and more popular science books on this topic are becoming bestsellers. This book is directed to a general audience and follows scientific standards, encompassing high-quality data, but in an easy-to-read format. Furthermore, it will raise awareness and show how simple actions such as not judging patients and not spreading false popular beliefs can contribute to achieve a new milestone in the cancer journey.Table of Contents1. The Blame Game This chapter will address how our society often blames cancer patients, associating habits and some types of cancer. It will measure the psychological impacts, question and show data (in a comprehensible way) to conclude what habits and how much they really can cause cell mutation and cancer. The blame game's sociological aspects are analyzed, which is a psychological and cultural behavior (proved by consistent data) of judging people by their type of cancer. Confronting popular habits and theories with science, the first chapter will address the question of how much habits can really interfere with the complex mechanisms of cancer development, and how fair is the way cancer is approached in the media and society. More than that, it opens the discussion about how it interferes in treating cancer as a public policy. 2. The Broken Machine This chapter is about the biology of cancer and how our repair mechanisms work to avoid cancer development. The various mechanisms of repair are listed and it is explained why they can sometimes not function properly. 3. Healthy and Fitness — to be, or not to be, that is the question This chapter confronts common knowledge about what is considered healthy. It includes data, as well as mechanisms of mutation of some substances (in a reader-friendly way), and shows how these substances can easily be avoided in daily life. It also discusses the safety of some preservatives in food and other substances that are approved in many countries. 4. Chaos and Complexity This chapter addresses physical chemistry in an easy-to-read format for non-scientists. It explains the complex organization of cancer, how it can adapt itself to the body, and if its biology tends to chaos. 5. Life and Death Are Made Of Five Letters: A, T, C, G, U This chapter is about genetics: DNA, RNA, and the code of life and death. 6. Panem et Circenses This chapter includes an analysis of news and popular information about cancer and their social effects, detailing how the popular excitement over false promises influences government decisions and other cause-effect analyses. 7. Metastasis — When biology favors that cancer follows its way This chapter highlights the biology of metastasis and the many characteristics that lead a patient to develop metastatic cancer. 8. Treating Cancer This chapter presents drugs, radiotherapy and surgery in cancer treatments. It discusses why each treatment works for some patients and not for others. Stem cell transplantation, CART-cells and other relatively new therapies are also featured, describing how individual biology interferes. Special attention is given to CART-cells and cellular therapies.9. Cancer and Incarceration Incarcerated patients are a specific population and often have their needs neglected, representing a major health issue. Therefore, this chapter will discuss health and cancer in the prison system of the United States. 10. Cancer in Germany, the US, and Brazil This chapter will compare cancer treatment, public policies, health systems, financial toxicity and other social factors related to cancer in Germany, the United States and Brazil. 11. When the Same Way is Longer: Cancer Social Determinants This chapter will analyze the social determinants of cancer and how healthcare is managed in different countries. In many developing countries cancer is not regarded as a national priority since the major health problems are related to malnutrition, deaths of neonates during delivery and neglected infectious diseases, such as malaria. Another issue linked to social conditions is the choice of health insurance, which will also be addressed in this chapter. 12. Financial Toxicity This chapter will address the high-cost of cancer treatments and how it affects patients and their caregivers. 13. When the Same Disease Can Have Different Psychological Impacts in Different Countries This chapter will compare the psychological impacts of cancer in different countries.

De Gruyter Smooth muscle and stromal tumors and prevention
Book SynopsisThe subject matter of volume 1 of the 2-volumes-handbook focusses on leiomyosarcoma, low-grade and high-grade endometrial sarcoma and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma of the whole female genitalia. A separate extensive chapter is devoted to the variants of leiomyoma (angio-, lipo-, cotyledonoid, cellular, mitotically active, epithelioid and myxoid leiomyoma, leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei), atypical smooth muscle tumors (smooth muscle tumors with uncertain malignant potential), and disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, benign metastasizing leiomyoma, and intravenous leiomyomatosis. Furthermore, endometrial stromal tumors – endometrial stromal nodules, endometrial stromal tumor with sex cord-like elements (ESTSCLE), uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) - and similar tumors are described in detail. The book provides a description at length of the epidemiology, etiology, pathological anatomy, prognosis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, imaging and comprehensive therapy of each primary, relapsed, and metastasized tumor including surgery, chemo-, hormone- and radio- and targeted therapy. Another chapter is devoted to the prevention of subjecting sarcomas to inadequate surgical therapeutic measures under the assumed diagnosis of leiomyoma, and includes a diagnostic-therapeutic flowchart with a diagnostic score. The book aims to identify and provide diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. The listed tumor entities also constitute a particular diagnostic challenge for pathologists that contains numerous pitfalls and difficulties. This book, therefore, addresses gynecologists and pathologists in both clinical and private practice, but also surgeons and hemato-oncologists.

Springer International Publishing AG Breast Oncology: Techniques, Indications, and
Book SynopsisThis book presents up to date debates and issues in the world of breast MRI with a very practical focus on how to incorporate current understanding of breast MRI into clinical practice. The book is divided into three key sections, all of which have critical impact for the breast imager: Techniques introduces the reader to the parameters of breast MRI from standard sequences to up-to-date cutting edge techniques. Indications provides a careful review of the accepted indications for breast MRI from High Risk Screening to use of breast MRI, in the context of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a detailed analysis of the evidence-based support for these indications and a careful look at controversies and debates within the field. MRI Findings, Interpretation, and Management takes on the topics of how to interpret and manage specific MRI findings from benign to malignant disease with a focus on radiologic-pathologic correlation. The section also incorporates a focus on key management dilemmas, including appropriate follow-up intervals for benign findings on MRI and management of probably benign lesions assessed as a Breast Imaging Reporting and Dictating System (BI-RADS)-3 category on MRI.Trade Review“This book is a comprehensive overview of the now well-established technique of breast MRI in the assessment of breast disease. … This book is most likely to be of interest to radiologists in sub-specialty training in breast imaging, but would also be of interest as a reference text to consultant radiologists established in reporting breast MRI with a moderate level of experience. … The book is compact and well laid out.” (Mamatha Reddy, RAD Magazine, June, 2018)Table of ContentsSection 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Cancer and AIDS: Part IV: Future Perspectives
Book SynopsisThe lifestyles and socio-economic status that are prevalent in regions of the world with limited resources form the background for the unique features of neoplastic diseases in these areas, where the majority of the world population lives. The predominance of the world’s retroviral burden of in these areas further compounds the nature and challenges of the cancer there. Much of the international cancer literature covers the nature and challenges of the disease as seen in high-income regions of the world, thereby giving a skewed view of the global cancer challenges. As the low- and middle-income regions of the world transition from communicable to non communicable disease patterns, there is a need for a corresponding paradigm shift, with increased emphasis on what the world needs to know about non communicable diseases, including cancer, where the disease is hitherto poorly documented. The main goal of the proposed book is to contribute to this outcomes.Table of ContentsPart IV: Future Perspectives Chapter 10 – Strategies for progress Abstract Section 10.1.0: The role of international partnership in the development of global health systems Section 10.1.1: Models of humanitarian global outreach in health care Section 10.1.2: The concept of “convergence” and the future of health care research Section 10.1.3.0: The concept of global health Section 10.1.3.1: Models of global health partnership in cancer control Section 10.1.3.2: The tiered resource stratification framework of the Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) Network Section 10.1.3.3: ASCO’s resource-stratified guidelines for the management of invasive cervical cancer Section 10.1.3.4: NCCN framework for resource stratification for invasive cervical cancer Section 10.1.3.5: Resource-stratified approaches in the primary prevention of cervical cancer Section 10.1.3.5.1 ASCO resource-stratified guideline for the primary prevention of cervical cancer Section 10.1.3.6: Resource-stratified approaches in the secondary prevention of cervical cancer Section 10.1.3.4.1: Selected Global Health Activities for promoting cancer control/Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) Section 10.1.3.4.2 Global Curriculum and Mentoring Program Section 10.1.3.4.3: Global Curriculum and Mentoring Program/International Development and Education Award Section 10.1.3.4.4: Proposal for recognizing global oncology as an academic field Section 10.2: Overcoming barriers to progress in the control of cancer and retroviral diseases, including HIV/AIDS Section 10.2.1: Prioritizing strategies for universal health coverage Section 10.2.1.1: mHealth Strategies for Universal Health Coverage Section 10.2.1.2: Community Health Insurance Coverage as a strategy for Universal Health Care Section 10.2.1.3: Innovation in provider training as a strategy in UHC Section 10.2.2: The role of politics in attainment of Universal Health Coverage Section 10.2.3: The role of science and engineering in human welfare Section 10.2.3.1: The role of science Section 10.2.3.1.1: Science advocacy Section 10.2.3.1.2: Science education in low- and middle-income countries Section 10.2.3.1.3 Examples of the transforming effect of science in LMICs Section 10.2.3.1.3.1 Impact of science on the emergence of South Korea Section 10.2.3.1.3.2: Impact of science on Middle-Eastern cooperation Section 10.2.3.1.3.3: Impact of the US-Cuba scientific diplomacy Section 10.2.3.1.3.4: Boosting science in Singapore Section 10.2.3.1.3.5: India boosts its ambitious space program Section 10.2.3.2: Transforming the practice of engineering to meet global health needs Section 10.2.3.3 Models in innovation with potentials for cancer and HIV/AIDS control in LMICs Section 10.2.3.3.1: Affordable, weather durable x-ray machine Section 10.2.3.3.2: Affordable cancer immunotherapy in Cuba Section 10.2.3.3.3: The smart village for rural electrification Section 10.2.3.3.4: HIV/AIDS control in China Section 10.3: The future of control of cancer and retroviral diseases Page 1055: Section 10.3.1: From the National Cancer Act to the 21st Century Cures Act Page 1059: Section 10.3.2: Advances in lung cancer prevention Page 1062: Section 10.3.3: Ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic Page 1063: Section 10.3.4: Finding a cure for AIDS – a possible convergence of cancer and HIV/AIDS researchIndex

Springer International Publishing AG Essentials of Interventional Cancer Pain
Book SynopsisThis text provides a comprehensive review and expertise on various interventional cancer pain procedures. The first part of the text addresses the lack of consistency seen in the literature regarding interventional treatment options for specific cancer pain syndromes. Initially, it discusses primary cancer and treatment-related cancer pain syndromes that physicians may encounter when managing cancer patients. The implementation of paradigms that can be used in treating specific groups of cancer such as breast cancer, follows. The remainder of the text delves into a more common approach to addressing interventional cancer pain medicine. After discussing interventional options that are commonly employed by physicians, the text investigates how surgeons may address some of the more severe pain syndromes, and covers the most important interventional available for our patients, intrathecal drug delivery. Chapters also cover radiologic options in targeted neurolysis and ablative techniques, specifically for bone metastasis, rehabilitation to address patients’ quality of life and function, and integrative and psychological therapies. Essentials of Interventional Cancer Pain Management globally assesses and addresses patients’ needs throughout the cancer journey. Written by experts in the field, and packed with copious tables, figures, and flow charts, this book is a must-have for pain physicians, residents, and fellows.Table of ContentsPart I: Perspectives on Cancer Pain Medicine.- Perspectives on Interventional Cancer Pain Management.- The Practice of Cancer Pain: A Case Series.- Part II: Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Pathophysiology of Cancer Cancer Pain.- Chemotherapy.- Post-Surgical Pain Syndromes.- Radiation-Induced Pain Syndromes.- Part III: Paradigms in Cancer Pain Syndromes.- General Pain Management Concepts.- Head and Neck.- Breast Cancer Pain: A Review of Pathology and Interventional Techniques.- Thoracic Cancer Pain.- Gastrointestinal Cancer Pain.- Genitourinary Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Pediatrics.- Pain in Hematologic Malignancies.- Dermatologic Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Part IV: Percutaneous Pain Techniques and Anatomy.- Ablative Techniques.- Sympathetic Nervous System Blocks for the Treatment of Cancer Pain.- Peripheral Nerve Blocks.

Springer Experimentelle Untersuchungen bei Sarkomen:
Book SynopsisManfred Georg Krukemeyer beschreibt zunächst das Magnetic Drug Targeting, unter dem man die zielgerichtete Arzneimittelapplikation – z. B. das Schleusen eines Zytostatikums – versteht und das eine Optimierung des lokaltherapeutischen Effekts erreichen soll. So erreicht der Autor am Ort des Tumors eine hohe Konzentration des Zytostatikums. Die Partikeln müssen groß genug sein, um von einem Magnetfeld angezogen zu werden, und wandern so in den Tumor, um dort ihren Wirkstoff freizusetzen. Ziel der Hypothese einer Studiengruppe des Autors war es, in einem wissenschaftlichen Experiment darzulegen, dass in diesem Fall Zytostatika an Eisenpartikeln gekoppelt [Fe3O4], in einen Tumor geschleust werden können. Das zielgerichtete Schleusen von Medikamenten – Magnetic Drug Targeting – führt zu einem schnelleren Erreichen des Wirkstoffs am Zielort bei einer verminderten Menge an Wirksubstanzen. Von daher ist das Magnetic Drug Targeting auch unter ökonomischen Aspekten interessant.Table of ContentsSarkome und deren Pathologie.- Magnetic Drug Targeting.- Tierversuche und Patientenuntersuchung, Tumortherapie beim Menschen.

Springer Verlag, Japan Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer
Book SynopsisAdvances in CT have enabled us to detect small lung cancers, which has changed the lung cancer surgery from lobectomy to a lesser lobar resection such as a segmentectomy or wedge resection. While wedge resection is a simple procedure, it has a higher risk of local recurrence of cancer than a lobectomy. On the other hand, segmentectomy is a well known curative surgery for small lung cancers. However, it is difficult to perform accurately because of its anatomical complexity, which makes surgeons hesitant to use it. The book “Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer” provides readers a detailed explanation of segmentectomy with numerous easy-to-understand color illustrations showing the precise segmental anatomies for each pattern of the procedure. To better illustrate an accurate anatomical segmentectomy, the text shows details of anatomy during segmentectomy. This can involve up to 25 patterns, each of which is shown in roughly 10 illustrations.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The purpose is to accurately describe segmental lung anatomy as it pertains to lung resections in the treatment of lung cancer. This worthy objective is achieved with a high level of detail and accuracy by the authors. The book is written for clinicians at all levels involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with lung cancer. … The stylized illustrations are descriptive and clear. … This is an excellent resource for the field of lung cancer and thoracic surgery.” (Michael Bates, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2013)Table of Contents
