Recenzii
From the book reviews:
“The work is both relevant and timely as no other book fills this particular niche in the field of osteosarcoma. … book is written for students, clinicians, and scientists seeking a review of the biology of osteosarcoma. … Graduate students, medical residents and fellows, and postdoctoral researchers beginning osteosarcoma research projects will find it a very useful introduction to the broad scope of osteosarcoma science. … a worthy addition to the library of all who are interested in osteosarcoma science.” (George Calvert, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2015)

She is board certified in pediatrics, holds the Mosbacher Pediatrics Chair and is also a Professor of Cancer Biology. Dr. Kleinerman is internationally recognized for her scientific and clinical expertise in sarcomas, particularly osteosarcoma. She pioneered the use of a unique immunotherapy agent liposome-encapsulated MTP-PE, for children with unresponsive relapsed osteosarcoma lung metastases. Dr. Kleinerman has served on numerous NCI study sections and was a prior member of an FDA advisory panel. She has authored over 177 articles and 21 book chapters and has received over 2900 citations. In 2006, her achievements were recognized by her alma mater, Duke University Medical Center, where she received the Distinguished Medical Alumnus Award. She is the 2009 recipient of the Faculty Achievement Award in Clinical Research.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Current Advances in Osteosarcoma summarizes molecular and genetic characteristics, new therapeutic ideas, and biological characteristics that have been uncovered in this field over the past 10 years. Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant neoplasm and is the most common histological form of bone cancer. Osteosarcoma accounts for approximately 56% of new bone tumors, making it the most primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. The lungs are the most common site of metastases and once osteosarcoma spreads to the lungs, it is very difficult to treat.
In order to improve the outcome of this disease, the biology of osteosarcoma needs to be better understood. There are numerous investigators around the world who have made seminal discoveries about the important molecular pathways and genetic alterations that contribute to the development and metastases of osteosarcoma. Other investigators have proposed novel therapeutic strategies includingsome based on the molecular and genetic phenotype of the disease. This volume will provide a comprehensive review of these new discoveries in one singular text, which will help move the field forward.
