Sommario/riassunto |
|
The focus of this book is to describe the current understanding of the interactions between the nervous system and cancer and the use of this information in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Author and noted researcher Boris Mravec presents a clearly written and well-illustrated monograph on this rapidly developing new field. The book begins with an exploration of the basic concepts supporting the neurobiology of cancer, discusses the ways in which the nervous system affects all the hallmarks of cancer, delves extensively into stress and cancer, covers the etiopathogenetic consequences of the neurobiology of cancer, the implications for cancer prevention and treatment, and looks at future directions in the field. |
