Abstract

Screening and early detection have improved our ability to detect lesions at increasingly earlier stages of growth. Physicians are seeking a better understanding of these lesions and their early bioloy in order to provide optimal treatment and patient care. Pathology of Incipient Neoplasia brings together all of the information available on the clinicopathological features of precancerous lesions, defined to include atypical hyperplasias, in-situ changes, microinvasive or very small cancers in some sites, and other lesions recognised as potential presursors for invasive cancer. In some tissues, bengin tumours may serve as precursors to malignant tumours, and therefore these are also considered. Organised by organ, each heavily-illustrated chapter is written by a well-recognised expert, to stress different facets of preneoplasia and minimally invasive tumors in that given tissue. A chapter on salivary glands, and more than 350 colour photos interspersed throughout the text, are new to this edition.

Abstract

L'impact de l'infection à papillomavirus (HPV) est considérable. Plus d'une femme sur deux a été exposée aux HPV durant sa vie et 10 % environ feront une infection chronique. Parmi elles, 20 % développeront un cancer du col en l'absence de dépistage. En France, l'infection à HPV à risque provoque 27 000 lésions précancéreuses, 3 400 cancers du col utérin et le décès de 1 000 femmes tous les ans. Le dépistage par frottis réalisé à rythme régulier selon des normes de qualité a entraîné une diminution significative de l'incidence et de la mortalité ces vingt dernières années.

Abstract

There are many books written on cancer, but this monograph focuses on pre-invasive disease. One of the prizes waiting to be won in cancer medicine is to thoroughly understand the processes by which a cell becomes invasive. This quest takes us into the world of stem cells and regulation of gene expression as well as to an understanding of the relative contribution of hereditary factors alongside exposures to environmental agents. This book explores these fundamental concepts as well as considering how advances in disease models combined with –omic technologies and molecular imaging might lead to advances in treatments such as chemoprevention and endoscopic treatments. The final section of the book takes nine specific examples of pre-invasive disease and explores the current state of knowledge and clinical practice as well as looking to the future. This book is written by International experts in their field and should appeal to students and seasoned researchers, to scientists and to clinicians. No prior knowledge of the topic is required to appreciate this text and yet the book charters new territory. New perspectives are given on how our knowledge of cancer development might lead us to reconsider our clinical approach to early detection and prevention of cancer at an individual and population level.

Abstract

This volume introduces the reader to the most important standards and principles of prophylactic surgery. After discussing the comparative effectiveness of screening in the treatment of hereditary cancer syndromes and evaluating genetic predisposition, the book moves on to address ethical, legal, social and cost-effectiveness dimensions of prophylactic surgery. With the aim of preventing hereditary predisposition syndromes, it also includes a chapter on the application of preventive surgery to all specific fields of surgery. Given its scope, the book will appeal to a broad readership, from experienced surgeons to students.

Abstract

Endoscopic Therapy is emerging as the preferred therapy for early neoplasia in Barrett's Esophagus. This volume provides the key decision making factors in determining endoscopic therapy for an individual patient. All current techniques and complications of ET are provided including, photodynamic therapy (PDT), APC, multipolar electrocoagulation (MPEC), RF, ER, and cryotherapy. Each technique includes "how to highlights", high quality color endoscopic images, line drawings and diagrams. Endoscopic imaging modalities to detect dysplasia, decision making in the clinical arena and cost-effectiveness of ablation are some of the additional topics discussed in this highly practical volume. Written by experts in the field of endoscopic therapy, this text educates GI practitioners and researchers about this under-utilized approach to the treatment of Barrett’s Esophagus.

Abstract

The prevention of colorectal cancer is a subject of increasing medical importance, and there have been a number of promising recent developments. This book examines in detail important aspects of the current status and future prospects for chemoprevention of colorectal tumors. Research into the mechanisms that lead from early colorectal adenoma to colorectal cancer is discussed. The role and modes of action of available drugs such as celecoxib and sulindac are described, and recent data from aspirin trials are analyzed. In addition, the possible impact of nutritional agents with anti-inflammatory properties is considered, and strategies applicable in those with a high level of genetic risk are evaluated. An important feature of the book is its holistic perspective, making it relevant for gastroenterologists, internists, general practitioners, oncologists, colorectal and gastroenterological surgeons, and public health practitioners.
