This comprehensive reference provides state-of-the-art information concerning the cellular and molecular biology, prognostic factors, histology, pathology, and clinical treatment of the major hormone-dependent cancers-breast, prostatic, endometrial, and ovarian.
This reference examines the biological factors and genetic and molecular pathways potentially responsible for the development and progression of breast cancer-analyzing the latest therapeutic strategies as well as breakthroughs in endocrine treatments, angiogenesis, and non-hormonal approaches to predict, control, and inhibit the formation and growth of cancerous cells.
