One third of human cancers have a hormonal basis. Breast cancer, the most common cancer of women, is increasing in incidence in many countries, as, in epidemic proportions, is prostate cancer, the second most common cancer of men. Concurrently, the development of molecular biology has led to a refinement of the definition of hormones to include the complex interaction between tumour cells and both locally and distantly secreted factors. This 1996 volume from the series Cancer: Clinical Science in Practice considers the many aspects of hormonally dependent cancer, including the molecular basis for the autocrine and paracrine regulation of cancer, molecular strategies for cancer detection, preventive strategies in limiting the epidemic of hormonally related cancers, and treatment approaches. The concise volumes in this series are intended for a wide audience of clinicians and researchers with an interest in the application of biomedical science to the understanding and management of cancer.

The Elephant in the Room is a collection of short stories that creatively communicate the cancer patient’s journey. These stories comfort and entertain, inform and engage, and are a treat to read for anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.

Cancer is one of the most exciting specialties in medicine. This book aspires to convey the authors' enthusiasm for oncology and this new edition of Oncology Lecture Notes is a must for students and trainees.There has been a revolution in the practice of oncology. The changes are due to amazing advances in basic science, and the development of new drugs and successful immunisation programmes that have followed. Cancer death rates have fallen and this is in part due to radical new treatments, effective screening programmes, and also, as a result of popular movements for change in patient care, and decreased exposure to carcinogens. Completely revised and updated, this new edition of Oncology Lecture Notes describes advances in molecular biology research and highlights the importance of patient perspectives in cancer care. The text includes many new figures and tables, an update of molecular biology and highlights new treatments. With learning objectives and key point summaries in each chapter, Oncology Lecture Notes is an ideal introduction to the biological basis and principles of treatment in oncology.Includes a companion website at www.lecturenoteseries.com/oncology featuring cases and self-assessment MCQs.

‘MacLeod's Introduction to Medicine:  A Doctor’s Memoir’ is a collection of stories that gives the reader an insight into the humorous side of a doctor's life. There is a rich source of humor in medicine, and this book aims to share some of this.?

The book summarizes developments in all areas of urological cancer including clinical and molecular advances. The aim of the book is to educate urologists and oncologists so that they are able to understand scientific developments within urological oncology and be up-to-date with clinical practice in this area. The book includes both guidelines for clinical practice and synopses of advances in science research. This practical handbook provides a distillation of current practice and research for oncologists and urologists in clinical practice. Its author has published eleven books on cancer and is the founder of the "Prostate Cancer Charity".
