Sommario/riassunto

Just as the library profession is being challenged by the 'Google-phenomenon' so too are library associations.  Where the library is being challenged by the breakdown of the 'physical library', so too is the library association.  When it is clearly the case that the public view of libraries is that they are no longer relevant in a digital age, so we find



the library associations searching for relevance.  This collection of articles, as well as additional pieces to come in the issues to come, explore the complex analyses and responses by professional colleagues across the globe.  The articles e

Sommario/riassunto

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge as the third leading cause for cancer related mortalities worldwide. Despite advances in therapeutic strategies, the five-year survival rate for CRC patients has remained the same over time due to the fact that patients are often diagnosed in advanced metastatic stages. Drug resistance is another common reason for poor prognosis. Researchers are now developing advanced therapeutic strategies such as immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and combination nanotechnology for drug delivery. In addition, the identification of new biomarkers will potentiate early stage diagnosis. This book is the third of three volumes on recent developments in colorectal diagnosis and therapy. Each volume can be read on its own, or together. Each volume focuses on different novel therapeutic advances, biomarkers, and identifies therapeutic targets for treatment. Written by leading international experts in the field, coverage addresses the role of diet habits and lifestyle in reducing gastrointestinal disorders and incidence of CRC. Chapters discuss current and future diagnostic and therapeutic options for colorectal cancer patients, focusing on immunotherapeutics, nanomedicine, biomarkers, and dietary factors for the effective management of colon cancer.
