Book Description:
This book addresses the interactions & interrelationships between tumor & host that modulate progression & metastasis. A unique aspect of the book is that it refers the tumor/host interactions as new targets for therapeutic intervention into control cancer. One promising approach is into target the host rather than the tumor itself, & several authors examine the potential for this novel tactic into oppress the manipulative cancer cell. The book examines the tumor & host relationship from multiple viewpoints: cellular & molecular events that occur during tumor-host cell interactions that control differentiation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis & vasculogenic mimicry, migration, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis. Other topics include the role of the immune response & chemokines/chemokine receptors, & the role of the brain & nutrients in tumor & host survival. Drug resistance limits cancer therapy, & the book emphasizes numerous novel & future therapeutic directions into sensitize drug resistant cells & other approaches that target the tumor & host microenvironment. This book will be of interest into cancer researchers who are interested in understanding metastasis, tumor & host interaction & interrelationships, & who have an interest in cancer control through development of novel targeting agents that impact these processes.
