About this ebook
The processes of tumor metastasis, apoptosis and anti-tumor immune response are among the most complex yet rapidly advancing fields in the area of cancer research. This monograph presents a comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in the various key concepts in these fundamental aspects of human cancer. It would be of particular interest to members of the cancer research community, especially those who are actively involved in the study of basic and translational aspects of human cancer. Specifically, this volume includes authentic subject reviews by leading experts on the following aspects:
Control of tumor cell motility
Role of tumor-cell adhesion and migration in organ-selective metastasis-formation
Tumor heterogeneity in relation to invasion and metastasis and its clinical implications
Tumor angiogenesis, angioprevention, anti-angiogenic therapies and response
Role of apoptosis in the development, progression and therapy of cancer
Role of macrophages in tumor development and metastasis
Pathways of macrophage-mediated tumor progression
Abnormal variation of immune response against cancer
Immunological aspects of Marek’s disease virus (MDV)-induced lymphoma progression
A biodynamical model of human T-cell proliferative disorders
Current methodologies for characterization of tumor directed immune response.
