Sommario/riassunto

This issue of Emerging Cancer Therapeutics provides a comprehensive review for practitioners on the current status of renal cancer treatment. Renal cancer treatment has undergone major changes over the course of the past few years and Renal Cancer addresses current best practices in the light of the most recent evidence. All of the chapters are written by international experts in the field, address the common clinical scenarios in renal cancer and are multidisciplinary in scope covering surgical, medical, and radiation therapy. Chapters examining emerging and novel therapeutic targets, the man

Sommario/riassunto

This long-awaited update of the classic, The Human Nervous System, stands as an impressive survey of our knowledge of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. The book has been completely redone and brought up-to-date. An impressive and respected cast of international authors have contributed 37 chapters on topics ranging from Brain Evolution, all phases of Brain Development, to all areas of the adult brain and peripheral pathways, along with careful descriptions of the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system, brainstem and cerebellum.
