- This book is extremely timely given the increasing importance and prevalence of the disease
- The instance of malignant pleural mesothelioma is not expected to reach its peak until 2020 so a comprehensive, evidence-based book on the subject is needed
- Mesothelioma is an active area of research as physicians are becoming more aware of the problem
Malignant pleural mesothelioma, a malignancy due largely to asbestos exposure, represents an increasingly common challenge to clinical and medical oncologists, respiratory physicians, and cardiothoracic surgeons, as well as researchers in the field. The disease has yet to reach its peak and is expected to kill over 100,000 people worldwide. As malignant pleural mesothelioma gains in profile, Kenneth O'Byrne and Valerie Rusch present a comprehensive overview of the subject, aimed at all health care professionals who come into contact with patients with the disease.
The book includes chapters on
epidemiology, diagnosis, histopathology, radiology, surgery, chemotherapy, immune therapy, radiotherapy, and palliative medicine, written by an international team of contributors. A molecular biology section focuses on the carcinogenic effects of asbestos fibres and simian virus 40, angiogenesis and angiogenic growth factors, the immune response, and genetic abnormalities detected in the disease. Future therapies are also covered, as is a perspective on the distinct legal issues related to the disease. This highly-illustrated, full colour book provides the ultimate, timely resource on this devastating disease.
Readership: Aimed at clinical and medical oncologists, respiratory physicians, and
cardiothoracic surgeons; palliative care physicians and specialist nurses will also be interested as well as researchers.
