Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pancreatic Cancer - Updates in Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Therapies presents the most recent knowledge on pancreatic cancer, which is a deadly, challenging and catastrophic tumor with a high mortality rate. It is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Pancreatic cancer can be diagnosed clinically, by laboratory measures, by imaging, and by pathological detection. Understanding tumor pathogenesis as well as tumor risk factors is necessary for successful treatment, as is early detection and multidisciplinary treatment. This book provides a comprehensive overview of pancreatic cancer in four sections. Chapters address such topics as prevention, screening, and detection; pathogenesis and risk factors; and pathology and management. |

characterising ‘the Arctic’ in the early twenty-first century. What happens in the region (such as permafrost thaw or methane release) not only sweeps rapidly through local ecosystems but also has profound global implications. Bringing together a unique combination of authors who are local practitioners, indigenous scholars and international researchers, the book provides nuanced views of the social consequences of climate change and environmental risks across human and non-human realms. |
