STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of five new cancer therapy books, including Cancer Theranostics, edited by Xiaoyuan Chen and Stephen Wong. All of the new books will be featured at this week’s American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting April 5-9 in San Diego at Elsevier’s booth #635.
As part of the trend toward personalised treatment of cancer, cancer theranostics is an approach for diagnosing and treating cancer that aims to eliminate multi-step procedures, reduce delay in treatment and ease patient care, all of which are important factors for personalized cancer treatment. The new book, Cancer Theranostics, reviews, assesses and makes pertinent clinical recommendations on the integration of comprehensive in vitro diagnostics, in vivo molecular imaging and individualized treatments towards the personalization of cancer treatment. It also describes the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer and discusses nanotechnology platforms incorporating cancer imaging, therapeutic components, clinical translation and future perspectives.
Dr. Chen, the principal editor of Cancer Theranostics, is an expert in the fast-developing field of theranostics and cancer prognosis. He is Senior Investigator and Lab Chief at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The five new cancer therapy books published are: Cancer Theranostics by Xiaoyuan (Shawn) Chen and Stephen Wong; Cancer: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants by Victor Preedy; Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cancer Therapy by Khalid Shah; Biomaterials for Cancer Therapeutics: Diagnosis, Prevention and Therapy by Kinam Park; and Cancer Genomics: From Bench to Personalized Medicine by Graham Dellaire, Jason Berman and Robert Arceci.
The books are available on the Elsevier Store and on ScienceDirect, Elsevier’s full-text scientific database offering journal articles and book chapters from more than nearly 2,200 peer-reviewed journals, almost 900 serials and 25,000 book titles.
