Abstract

This book provides detailed information on the various types of cancer, etiology, effects, and challenges associated with current cancer treatment regimes. The present edition has been written to reflect recent developments, success rates and lacunae in herbal and modern cancer therapies. It also describes the use of several herbal formulations to boost patients’ immunity, in order to prevent or help them cope with several cancers. The book highlights several herbs/shrubs/trees that have been reported to possess anti-cancer properties, paving the way for in-depth research into the dose standardization and efficacy of plant-based bioactive molecules. It also focuses on the sustainable conservation of medicinal flora, so that, in future, novel biomolecules be extracted and made available for the treatment of various cancers. Given its highly relevant content, the book will benefit the entire cancer research community (students, scientists, pharmacists, herbalists and lecturers) at universities, research institutions and industry in the areas of oncology, herbal cancer therapy, biotechnology, drug discovery, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and various disciplines of the biomedical sciences.

Abstract

This volume is about DNA damage and repair. It covers recent advances in several important research areas of this rapidly expanding field, and does so at several levels, from individual molecules to organisms. The topics include mechanisms of damage recognition by DNA repair enzymes, chromatin response to DNA damage, special ways of mutagenesis, biomarkers of genotoxicity, and the integrated organism response to genotoxic and other kinds of stress. The book starts with two chapters about structural and mechanistic features of protein–DNA interactions that ensure fast and reliable discrimination between targets – be it DNA modifications or specific sequences – and non-targets. Examples of particular proteins and their function in repair regulation, translesion synthesis and chromatin remodeling are discussed in the following three chapters. Next, more attention is given to the mutagenic consequences of failed or aberrant DNA repair, particularly in mitochondria and in runs of trinucleotide repeats. Moving to a human health-oriented view, the book presents data on two kinds of lesions, the widely found 8-oxoguanine and the dietary genotoxic adducts with aristolochic acids, as biomarkers of general oxidative stress and specific exposure, respectively. Two final chapters are devoted to the interplay of multiple factors, including genotoxic stress, in the complex phenotypes in humans (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ) and plants (abiotic stress response). This volume will be of significant interest for scientists working in the field of DNA repair as well as for the general biochemistry and molecular biology audience.

Abstract

This book provides up-to-date guidance that will assist radiation oncologists during the day-to-day management of nasopharyngeal cancer. After discussion of diagnosis and staging, target delineation techniques and treatment planning are described for both intensity-modulated and particle radiation therapy. Detailed information is then presented on the application of radiation therapy in different disease settings, from early stage disease to metastatic disease. Due attention is paid to the role of multimodality treatment and new and advanced technologies in particular circumstances, such as local recurrence. In addition, follow-up and the management of late toxicities are explained and management strategies are documented for special situations and groups, including pediatric patients. The book is published within the Springer series Practical Guides in Radiation Oncology. Like other volumes in the series, it is designed for hands-on use by both radiation oncology residents and practicing radiation oncologists. It will also be of value for head and neck physicians.
