Publisher: Springer | Language: English | ISBN: 1402084412 | 604 pages | Data: 2008 | PDF | 38 Mb



Description: This is the first book that discusses the subjects of diagnosis, therapy, therapy assessment, and prognosis of lung and prostate cancer in one single volume.
Cancer killed 6.7 million people around the world in 2002, and this figure is expected to rise to 10.1 million in 2020. Lung cancer has been the most common cancer in the world since 1985, and by 2002 there were 1.35 million new cases, representing 12.5% of all new cancers. It was also the most common cause of death from cancer, with 1.18 million deaths (17.6% of the world total). Lung cancer remains a highly lethal disease. After diagnosis, survival at 5 years in the United States is 15%.
This second volume in the series Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis presents a comprehensive treatise on all aspects of Lung and Prostate cancer, including diagnosis, treatments and prognosis. Scientists and Clinicians have contributed state of the art chapters on their respective areas of expertise providing the reader a whole field view of lung and prostate cancer management.

Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer

Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer
Publisher:Informa HealthCare | Pages:406 | 2008-05-01 | ISBN:0415458935 | PDF | 8 MB

Prostate cancer is treated in a number of different ways, depending on a host of different factors, ranging from the severity of the cancer, the health of the patient, their age, and their own personal choice of treatment. Whether the choice is open or laparoscopic surgery, laser treatment or cryoablation, ultimately, the options open to the urologic surgeon today are modelled and defined specific to the patient's individual needs.

Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer will focus on the "how to treat" scenario faced by urologic surgeons treating all stages of prostate cancer by examining all the methods used to treat the condition, both its early and advanced stage.

Specifically targeting the fully qualified urologic surgeon, but also highly useful for residents and trainee surgeons wishing to learn and improve their treatment techniques, Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer will undoubtedly prove an extremely popular tool indeed.

Techniques in the Surgical and Catheter-Based Treatment of Venous Disorders. An Issue of Operative Techniques in General Surgery,

Techniques in the Surgical and Catheter-Based Treatment of Venous Disorders. An Issue of Operative Techniques in General Surgery, September 2008 Volume 10, Issue 3
Publisher:SAUNDERS | Pages:54 | September 2008 | ISSN: 1524-153X | PDF | 9.7 MB

The surgical management of venous disease is filled with dichotomies. Procedures span the spectrum from the most mundane saphenous vein stripping (one of the first procedures I did as an intern) to sophisticated central venous reconstructions. Venous surgery tends not to be glamorous, playing second fiddle to arterial reconstruction but frequently is technically more demanding and very dependant on meticulous technique. Diagnosis may be straightforward as in identifying lower extremity varicosities or extremely challenging as in confirming a true thoracic outlet syndrome. Though responsible for a great deal of morbidity in the population as a whole, it receives less attention than it deserves from caregivers. The patient who presents with DVT now frequently is sent home immediately on injectable anticoagulants “per protocol,” deceptively minimizing the long-term sequelae of chronic venous stasis disease. Venous disease is the Rodney Dangerfield of surgery, getting little respect. This is a mistake as Dr. Illig and his colleagues capably illustrate in this issue of Operative Techniques in General Surgery. They show the numerous surgical options available to treat various venous disorders and the evolving nature of those treatments. This broad reaching issue spans newer treatments for the lowly varicosity all the way to the complexities of vena cava and subclavian vein reconstruction. Just as tackling venous disease takes a special kind of surgeon with a special commitment to succeed, so did Dr. Illig take on the challenging task of organizing this issue, something that a less motivated individual might shy away from. He has recruited a truly elite group of surgeons to create this unique issue on this often-minimized surgical topic. I thank him and his contributors sincerely for a valuable compendium that brings to the forefront the surgical options available to the patient with venous disease.

Head and Neck Cancer, An Issue of PET Clinics

Head and Neck Cancer, An Issue of PET Clinics
Publisher:Saunders | Pages:240 | 2008-10-28 | ISBN:1416053247 | PDF | 23.9 MB

Over 47,000 cancers of the head and neck are diagnosed each year in the United States. Traditionally, CT and MRI have been the keystones for surgical and radiation therapy treatment planning; however, anatomic imaging relies on size and morphologic criteria for distinguishing benign from malignant lymph nodes. FDG-PET may be particularly helpful to distinguish post-treatment changes from recurrent tumor in the neck following surgery or radiation therapy. PET/CT imaging provides more accurate diagnosis, and even though evaluating PET/CT images of the neck can be challenging, these images can have a significant impact on patient management.

Regional Chemotherapy for Cancer
Edited by H.J. Wanebo
The current issue highlights the experience and the potential value of regional therapy and addresses many of the challenges to cancer therapy. The field continues to evolve and there is definite room for continued innovation not only for tumor access for the anticancer drugs but also for techniques to modify the drug delivery to improve access to the tumor cells themselves, which are often protected by various mechanisms, such as peri-tumor edema, in addition to the unique drug-resistant mechanisms in the tumor cell. The role for coupling biologic agents with chemotherapy to facilitate cancer therapy is under active exploration as is therapy with other agents that are gene derived or genetically engineered to facilitate therapy. These efforts will provide grounding for future development. The current articles highlight many future possibilities and past successes and limitations and we look forward to the continued future development of regional therapy.

Volume 88, Issue 6, Pages 1159-1456 (December 2008)
Biliary Tract Surgery
Edited by J.L. Munson
In 1981, the Surgical Clinics of North America published an issue entitled “Biliary Tract Disease” . This predated any of our attempts at laparoscopic biliary surgery and was state-of-the-art. In 1994, the Clinics published “Biliary Tract Injuries Revisited,” straddling the era of “all open” biliary surgery and emerging laparoscopic surgery .This issue of the Surgical Clinics of North America will try to add on to the traditions of biliary surgery set forth in previous issues. We have learned much about the mechanisms and prevention of laparoscopic bile duct injuries in the last 20 years, and a review of pertinent anatomy and operative techniques will be presented. Diagnosis, palliation, and surgical management of injuries and pathology of the biliary tract have advanced logarithmically. Radiologic techniques are emerging that provide three-dimensional reconstructions of complex biliary anatomy. Endoscopic imaging and treatment options are evolving as rapidly as laparoscopic instrumentation. All of these new technologies are leading to safer, more effective management of proximal and distal biliary malignancy, biliary reconstruction, and preoperative planning for all biliary surgery. We hope that this issue will prove a useful tool both for surgeons just beginning their practice and more senior surgeons whose careers (sometimes anxiously) have bridged the eras of open and laparoscopic surgery.
