Hormonal Carcinogenesis

Stressing the association between therapeutic hormonal agents and a variety of human cancers, this study provides a current understanding of the physiological, biochemical and molecular processes by which hormones affect cell proliferation and differentiation, and neoplastic processes. Top page

Complete description

An increasing awareness has emerged in recent years of an association between therapeutic hormonal agents and a variety of human cancers, including uterine, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, liver, testicular, prostatic, breast, hepatic and thyroid cancers. Concomitantly, there has been a resurgence in hormonal carcinogenesis research, a field that studies the involvement of both natural and synthetic hormonal agents in all aspects of neoplastic transformation in humans and animals. In this volume, contributors present state-of-the-art research regarding the current understanding of the normal physiologic, biochemical and molecular processes by which hormones affect cell proliferation and differentiation and neoplastic processes.
