In this book, the classification of brain tumors is updated using magnetic resonance spectroscopy technology. The role of cellular immortality in brain tumors is reviewed. Genetic profiling and treatment (including neurosurgery) of brain cancers are explained.
For Light and Electron Microscopy
Focusing on the intersection of chemistry and biology, this book explores histochemistry, which examines the chemical activities within cells, and immunohistochemistry, which investigates the roles of various cell types in tissues or organs. Key topics include the mechanisms behind graft acceptance and rejection, highlighting the importance of these processes in medical science and organ transplantation.

This second of two volumes on Cancer Imaging covers the three major topics of imaging instrumentation, general imaging applications, and imaging of a number of human cancer types. Where the first volume emphasized lung and breast carcinomas, Volume 2 focuses on prostate, colorectal, ovarian, gastrointestinal, and bone cancers. Although cancer therapy is not the main subject of this series, the crucial role of imaging in selecting the type of therapy and its post-treatment assessment are discussed. The major emphasis in this volume is on cancer imaging; however, differentiation between benign tumors and malignant tumors is also discussed. This volume is sold individually, and Cancer Imaging, Volume 1 [ISBN: 978-0-12-370468-9] sells separately for $189 and also as part of a two volume set [ISBN: 978-0-12-374212-4] for $299. • Concentrates on the application of imaging technology to the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate, colorectal, ovarian, gastrointestinal, and bone cancers • Addresses relationship between radiation dose and image quality • Discusses the role of molecular imaging in identifying changes for the emergence and progression of cancer at the cellular and/or molecular levels
These two volumes present readers with the most up-to-date imaging instrumentation, general and diagnostic applications for various cancers. Both volumes discuss the various imaging techniques used to locate and diagnose tumors, including ultrasound, X-ray, color Doppler sonography, PET, CT, PET/CT, MRI, SPECT, diffusion tensor imaging, dynamic infrared imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. They also detail strategies for imaging cancer, emphasizing the importance of the use of this technology for clinical diagnosis. Imaging techniques that predict the malignant potential of cancers, response to chemotherapy and other treatments, recurrence, and prognosis are also detailed.
This book presents recent developments in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of Gliomas (Glioblastoma) in the brain. It examines the importance of personalized medicine and clinical validation for targeted therapy.
Translating molecular genetics into cancer diagnosis, this book discusses various aspects of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization technologies and the important role they play in reaching a cancer diagnosis. It also provides step-by-step instructions on the methods of additional technologies such as DNA microarrays, and microdissection.
