Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Ex. - The advances in our understanding of genetics has exploded since the publication of the first edition of Inherited Cancer Syndromes. We've moved from an incomplete understanding of the human genome to the availability of over-the-counter DNA analysis kits.There'is simply too much complicated, high-level science for a busy clinician to meaningfully absorb without a filter. Inherited Cancer Syndromes is designed to bridge that gap. With this new edition, the clinical content has been expanded and clarified in order to be more tightly focused on the real-world implications of emerging therapies. The chapter authors are among the leading experts in these topics. Naturally, this book is not meant to be an exhaustive "how to" textbook or procedure-heavy monograph, but a clinically relevant overview of this dynamic and difficult aspect of cancer patient care. // Obtaining and Using Genetic Information -- C Neal Ellis -- Cancer and Genetic Counseling -- Brandie Heald and James M Church -- An Ethos of Genetic Testing -- Roy E Gandy and Charles B Rodning -- Hereditary Breast Cancer Syndromes -- Alfredo A Santillan, Jeffrey M Farma, Ramona Hagmaier, Charles E Cox, and Adam I Riker -- Gastrointestinal Polyposis Syndromes -- William J Harb -- Familial Colorectal Cancer Type X -- Deborah A Nagle and Vitaliy Poylin -- The Familial Atypical Multiple Mole Melanoma -- (FAMMM)-Pancreatic Carcinoma (PC) Syndrome -- Adam I Riker and Ramona Hagmaier -- Desmoid Disease -- James M Church -- Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer -- W Donald Buie and Anthony R MacLean -- Hereditary Ovarian Cancer and Other Gynecologic Malignancies -- Kathryn R Brown and Lynn P Parker.
