Drug Resistance in Leukemia and Lymphoma II

Product Description
In the last decade many studies have been performed in the field of drug resistance. This book reviews the current status and indicates future directions of such studies. Both laboratory scientists and clinicians have recognized the importance of drug resistance for the clinical outcome of patients with leukemia and lymphoma. New in vitro cell culture assays have been developed and the in vitro drug resistance measured with these assays has been shown to correlate with both short and long-term clinical response to chemotherapy. This book is, therefore, an essential guide for researchers and clinicians.

Drug Resistance in Leukemia &

Product Description
The last ten years have seen the publication of a vast amount of data regarding cellular resistance to drugs in cancer cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that drug resistance assays appear to be predictive of clinical response and suggest that clinicians should now be considering the potential applications of these assays in the treatment of patients with hematological neoplasms. This collection of papers from the International Symposium on the Clinical Value of Drug Resistance Assays in Leukemia and Lymphoma, Amsterdam, 1992, provides a state-of-the-art discussion on drug resistance assays and their role in the design and individualization of treatment protocols….

The hormone is said to reduce fat if you don’t want to say to eradicate fat on your body. Back then, the hormone was merely tested for medical reason. But now, it is commonly used for reducing fat.

Bioinformatics in Cancer and Cancer Therapy

Product Description
Bioinformatics can be loosely defined as the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers and mathematical algorithms. Although no single person or group started the field wholly on their own, Temple Smith, Ph.D., a professor at Boston University, is generally credited with coining the term. Bioinformatics represents a marriage of biology, medicine, computer science, physics, and mathematics, fields of study that have historically existed as mutually exclusive disciplines. Concurrently, bioinformatics has vaulted into the public’s eye in lay newspapers and magazines, most notably in the area of (personalized) DNA sequencing. Th… More >>

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: Genetics, Biology and Therapy

  • ISBN13: 9780387692579
  • Condition: NEW
  • Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

Product Description
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), is the most common form of leukemia in adults. AML is a deadly form of malignancy, the prognosis for which has not improved in the last two decades. More importantly, it is a malignancy that is seen in older adults, therefore the number of cases is likely to rise as the population ages. Over the past 15 years, genetic mechanisms underlying AML have begun to unfold. Additional research in this area has helped identify key components and characteristics. Consequently, targeted therapy of AML is receiving much attention. It is the hope of researchers that as with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and the drug, Gleevec, a targeted therapy for AML will be discovered. … More >>
