Peritoneal Tumor Microenvironment of Cancers on Cancer Hallmarks: Perspectives of Translational Medicine provides readers with cutting-edge knowledge on tumor microenvironment. By exploring multiple aspects on tumor microenvironment, it gives an integrative insight on cancer diseases ranging from diagnosis to prediction of prognosis and individualized treatment. The book discusses topics such as clinical significance of tumor microenvironment, tumorigenesis and cancer progression, histopathological features of cancer in peritoneum, immune cells in tumor, exosomal cell-to-cell interactions, and therapeutic approaches to target tumor microenvironment. In addition, it discusses tumor evolution during chemotherapy and metastasis and future perspectives on identification and validation of biomarkers using liquid biopsy. This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, medical doctors, and several members of biomedical field who want to understand the complex microenvironment of peritoneal tumors.Discusses how to apply tumor microenvironment knowledge to diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, and individualized treatment of cancerProvides readers with up-to-date knowledge on translational medicine, focusing on bench-to-bedside approach for cancer treatment and diagnosisPresents collaborative research works from the perspectives of medical doctors, cancer researchers, basic biological scientists, and bioinformaticians to provide integrative insights on tumor microenvironment

Recently, much attention has been focused on aging and obesity and the pivotal roles these conditions play in the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer.  Several preclinical and clinical studies have revealed associations between aging and obesity and altered celluar environments––including genetic changes and inflammation–in the pathogenesis of many chronic disorders. Conventional methods for the treatment of cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, result in limited success in certain cases and demonstrate additional modalities are required. In contrast to conventional treatments, some recent strategies are shifting to cancer prevention and treatment through physical exercise and better nutrition to control tumor progression, and to improve prognosis and rehabilitation in some cancer patients. This Annals volume presents a series of short reviews that focus on recent advances in, and future directions for, physical and nutritional bio-modulation and prevention of aging, obesity, and cancer, and suggest clinical care guidelines for the general population and for cancer patients and survivors who need proper physical exercise and optimal nutrition.NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.
