Description
Book SynopsisA new perspective on the link between inflammation and cancer
Inflammation is the human body's normal biological response to threats in the modern world, as well as a defense against the harmful influence of pathogens, the environment, and poor nutrition. But what happens when the inflammatory response is triggered repeatedly and sustained for long periods of time? Cancer and Inflammation Mechanisms: Chemical, Biological, and Clinical Aspects discusses the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation can lead to cancer, the various causative agents, and possible prevention methods.
A compilation of the latest information coming out of the various fields of cancer research, this book provides a detailed look at inflammation-related carcinogenesis from the perspective of researchers at the forefront of the field. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, and provides comprehensive information about the major factors at work in inflammation, cancer, a
Trade Review
“Undoubtedly, this outstanding textbook will be of interest to all oncology researchers and to those who want to update their knowledge. Although this textbook was not intended for urologists, many will find useful information related to urology. Trainees and young researchers would also be attracted by the book’s high quality.” (European Urology Today,1 October 2014)
