Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Untersuchung des tumorrelevanten Proteins
Book SynopsisSurvivin ist in nahezu allen malignen Tumorerkrankungen überexprimiert und aufgrund seiner dualen Rolle als Apoptose-Inhibitor und Zellzyklus-Regulator an zwei entscheidenden Prozessen der Onkogenese beteiligt. Für die Ausübung beider biologischer Funktionen ist die Interaktion von seinem Kernexportsignal mit dem Exportrezeptor Crm1 essentiell, weshalb die gezielte Inhibition dieser Interaktion einen guten Angriffspunkt für die Krebstherapie darstellt. Lisa Oelschläger analysiert die Effekte supramolekularer Liganden auf die Funktion von Survivin, die mit ihrer hohen Affinität gegenüber oberflächenexponierten Lysin- und Arginin-Seitenketten einen vielversprechenden neuen Ansatz zur gezielten Inhibition der Survivin-Crm1-Interaktion darstellen. Table of ContentsMolekulare Pinzetten – Lysin- und Arginin-spezifische supramolekulare Liganden.- Analyse der Bildung des Exportkomplexes in vitro.- Effekte der supramolekularen Liganden auf die Bildung des Exportkomplexes.- Untersuchung der zellulären Exportaktivität von Survivin.

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

Springer Verlag, Singapore Methods of Mathematical Oncology: Fusion of
Book SynopsisThis book presents original papers reflecting topics featured at the international symposium entitled “Fusion of Mathematics and Biology” and organized by the editor of the book. The symposium, held in October 2020 at Osaka University in Japan, was the core event for the final year of the research project entitled “Establishing International Research Networks of Mathematical Oncology.” The project had been carried out since April 2015 as part of the Core-to-Core Program of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). In this book, the editor presents collaborative research from prestigious organizations in France, the UK, and the USA. By utilizing their individual strengths and realizing the fusion of life science and mathematical science, the project achieved a combination of mathematical analysis, verification by biomedical experiments, and statistical analysis of chemical databases.Mathematics is sometimes regarded as a universal language. It is a valuable property that everyone can understand beyond the boundaries of culture, religion, and language. This unifying force of mathematics also applies to the various fields of science. Mathematical oncology has two aspects, i.e., data science and mathematical modeling, and definitely helps in the prediction and control of biological phenomena observed in cancer evolution.The topics addressed in this book represent several methods of applying mathematical modeling to scientific problems in the natural sciences. Furthermore, novel reviews are included that may motivate many mathematicians to become interested in biological research.Table of ContentsPART 1: Mathematical Modeling: D. Guan, X. Luo, and H.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Pathogenesis and Treatment of Leukemia
Book SynopsisThis book covers a comprehensive update on acute and chronic leukemia. In 54 chapters, authors introduce research progress and clinical trials of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The last decade has seen the integration of genetic and clinical information to determine the prognosis and treatment strategies. This book provides practitioners, researchers and graduate students of Hematology and Hematopathology a comprehensive update on the pathobiology, genomics, classification, diagnosis, monitoring, prognostication and therapy of both acute and chronic leukemias.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Basic haematopoiesis and leukemia stem cells Chapter 2 Modern classification of acute and chronic leukemias: integrating biology, clinicopathologic features and genomics Chapter 3 Molecular techniques in the diagnosis and monitoring of acute and chronic leukemias Chapter 4 Flow cytometric techniques in the diagnosis and monitoring of acute leukemias Chapter 5 Genomic Landscape and Risk Stratification of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Chapter 6 Frontline management of acute myeloid leukaemia eligible for intensive chemotherapy Chapter 7 Frontline management of elderly acute myeloid leukemia ineligible for intensive treatment Chapter 8 Management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Myelodysplasia-Related Changes and Therapy-Related Acute Myeloid Leukemia Chapter 9 Management of relapsed or refractory AML Chapter 10 The Role of BCL-2 / MCL-1 targeting in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Chapter 11 Role of IDH1/IDH2 inhibitors in AML Chapter 12 Next-generation FLT3 inhibitors for the treatment of FLT3-positive AML Chapter 13 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for AML Chapter 14 Maintenance therapy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia Chapter 15 Immunotherapeutic targeting of AML Chapter 16 In the pipeline – Emerging therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia Chapter 17 Frontline management of acute promyelocytic leukemia Chapter 18 Management of relapsed acute promyelocyticleukemia and the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Chapter 19 Genomic Landscape of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) – Insights to Leukaemogenesis, Prognostications and Treatment Chapter 20 Management of adolescent and young adults with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Chapter 21 Management of older patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Chapter 22 Management of Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Chapter 23 Management of Philadelphia Chromosome-like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph-like ALL) Chapter 24 Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Chapter 25 Immunotherapy for ALL Chapter 26 In the Pipeline - Emerging therapy for ALL Chapter 27 Inherited/genetic predisposition to MDS and AML Chapter 28 Clonal hematopoiesis and its functional implications in MDS/AML Chapter 29 Therapy-related MDS/AML and the role of environmental factors Chapter 30 Prognostic indicators in MDS and CMML Chapter 31 Treatment algorithm of myelodysplastic syndromes Chapter 32 Treatment algorithm of CMML and other uncommon MDS/MPN subtypes Chapter 33 Novel strategies to manage cytopenia in low-risk MDS Chapter 34 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for MDS and CMML: when and how?
