• Sommario/riassunto: Inflammation and cancer are two major disorders that cause huge concerns in our society. However, what one may not know is that both diseases are closely associated and, in particular, both occur in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. This book describes the mechanics of how inflammation can progress to cancer in these organs. The authors in this book comprehensively discuss the different biomarkers for early diagnosis, and current therapeutic treatments for these diseases. All of these would allow us to better understand the pathogenesis of both diseases. As such, this book provides compreh

• Sommario/riassunto: Extrait : ""L'ignorance est presque complète sur la chronologie des peintres de 1789 à 1830, et si l'on connaît les grands noms des élèves de David, c'est que le Louvre renferme des tableaux de ces maîtres.
