In apoptosis in the mammalian system, cells have a finite life - they develop, are used and then die. Cancer cells escape this programmed routine but, from an understanding of apoptosis, they can be programmed to die. more...

Because the linings of the airways leading into the lungs produce secretions that are coughed up as sputum, and because lung cancers can develop in these airways tissues, the sputum that forms near the growth will often contain cancer cells. With the proper training and reference images, physicians can now diagnose lung cancer by collecting and examining that sputum under a microscope using sputum cytology. An Atlas of Sputum Cytology , which contains over 100 original new colour images of the highest quality, is the first comprehensive clinical guide to this extremely valuable diagnostic technique. The material for this volume comes from the lead author of the British Thoracic Guidelines on sputum cytology, the gold standard for work in this field. In addition to its superb photographs, the book contains chapters of supportive text, including bibliographic references and index, that expertly describe the techniques and procedures involved and that contain clear explanations of actual diagnoses using sputum cytology. Both as a diagnostic reference for pulmonologists and as an instructive text for residents and physicians in training, this brilliantly illustrated, authoritative atlas offers special value to everyone using sputum cytology in the diagnosis of lung cancer. more...

Apoptosis, the process of deliberate cell death within a multi-cellular organism, has been linked to both the development and the demise of cancer causing cells. Vast research has been conducted on combating cancer cells through apoptosis in radiation and chemotherapy, however, apoptosis plays only a limited role in determining the success of cancer therapy. This realization has been the catalyst necessary to examine alternative mechanisms for the anti-proliferative action of anticancer agents, as well as moving forward in the complete eradication of cancer. The goal of Beyond Apoptosis: Cellular Outcomes of Cancer Therapy is to examine the relative contribution of apoptosis, and to acquaint the readers with new concepts in non-apoptotic cell death, senescence, and mitotic catastrophe. more...
