In recent years the pace of research in prostate cancer has increased dramatically. Creative ideas in combination with new and emerging technologies have led to an explosion of discovery. These types of advances in prostate cancer research presage an era of new treatment strategies based on an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease. In creating this book, we aimed to cover a broad "bench to bedside" research spectrum ranging from: genetic, molecular and cellular analyses to epidemiological studies, refinements in local treatment strategies and new biologically based non-hormonal treatments for systemic disease. Researchers and clinicians will find in this book a group of timely and clinically relevant chapters on prostate cancer research and treatment.

This book discusses the recent developments in the therapeutic implications of cancer stem cells for the effective diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. It summarizes the various stem cells of common cancers including colon, pancreas, lungs, prostate, melanoma, and glioblastoma, and reviews the potential role of cancer stem cells in tissue aggressiveness, examining the functional contribution of cancer stem cells in the establishment and recurrence of cancerous tumors. Further, it explores the potential of cancer stem cells as novel therapeutic targets for the treatment and prevention of tumor progression. The book also discusses the various approaches for detecting, isolating, and characterizing different cancer stem cells and signaling pathways that control their replication, survival, and differentiation. Lastly, it explores the key features and mechanisms of drug resistance, chemo-resistance, and radio-resistance in cancer stem cells to improve therapeutic rationale.

Although much has been written on surgical treatment for prostate cancer, this is the first book to present a comprehensive review of the new non-surgical therapies currently available in the management of prostate disease. This volume provides a detailed account of the key areas of treatment including, screening, early diagnosis of malignant disease, and the application of hormonal therapies for advanced prostate cancer. A 'continuum' approach to the management of malignant prostate disease is emphasized throughout the text. The editors are recognised international, as opinion leaders in the field of prostate cancer. In this single volume they offer the first balanced account of the new molecular and hormonal therapies currently available in the management of prostate cancer. It is intended that this volume should become the primary source of reference for all those, either in research or clinical practice who have an interest in combination therapy and the non-surgical treatment of prostate cancer. This book is published in full colour, with illustrations by Dee Mclean who is widely recognised as one of the leading medical artists working in this field.A unique feature of this volume is the inclusion of a CD.Rom which cross references to the text, providing a PowerPoint presentation, that also includes video clips, and animated graphics.

A Doody's Core Title 2012 Emerging Cancer Therapeutics is a trinary, hard cover, periodical that is designed to provide an up-to-date evidence-based review of a dedicated emerging cancer therapy topic of interest to clinicians and scientists who are involved in the care of patients receiving cancer treatment. It will serve as both a reference and instructional tool for students, housestaff, fellows, practicing clinical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, cancer biologists, and interdisciplinary colleagues throughout the oncology spectrum. With contributions from experts across the United States and Canada, Prostate Cancer details the current management of prostate cancer and reviews new therapies in development for prostate cancer, with an emphasis on castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Coverage includes discussion of multiple new agents that have been shown to impact overall survival or improve skeletal-related events in metastatic CRPC as well as articles covering new data on screening and prevention, integration of surgery and radiation with newly emerging medical therapies, and coverage of the newest developments in immunotherapy. This book is a valuable tool for clinicians, nurses, researchers, medical students, residents, and fellows. Included in Prostate Cancer: Updates in Prostate Cancer Prevention Prostate Cancer Screening, 2011 Current Surgical Approaches to Primary Prostate Cancer Treatment Updates in Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Dose Matters An Update on Androgen-Deprivation Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer Novel Androgen Receptor Therapeutic Targets for Advanced Prostate Cancer New Understanding of Metabolic Complications of Androgen-Deprivation Therapy Current State of Docetaxel-Based Therapy in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Second-Line Chemotherapy for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Emerging Role of Immunotherapy in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer Novel Bone-Targeted Therapy in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Emerging Treatment Strategies for Metastatic Prostate Cancer: The Next Step Forward
