Cancer/Oncology

Structured in eight sections, the book starts with a review of the development and biology of multi-cellular organisms, how they maintain a healthy homeostasis in an individual, and a description of the molecular basis of cancer development. The book then illustrates, as once cells become neoplastic, their signalling network is altered and pathological behaviour follows. It explores the changes that cancer cells can induce in nearby normal tissue, the new relationship established between them
and the stroma, and the interaction between the immune system and tumour growth. The authors illustrate the contribution provided by high throughput techniques to map cancer at different levels, from genomic sequencing to cellular metabolic functions, and how information technology, with its vast
amounts of data, is integrated with traditional cell biology to provide a global view of the disease. The effect of the different types of treatments on the biology of the neoplastic cells are explored to understand on the one side, why some treatments succeed, and on the other, how they can affect the biology of resistant and recurrent disease. The book concludes by summarizing what we know to date about cancer, and in what direction our understanding of cancer is moving.

Edited by leading authorities in the field with an international team of contributors, this book is an essential resource for scholars and professionals working in the wide variety of sub-disciplines that make up today’s cancer research and treatment community. It is written not only for consultation, but also for easy cover-to-cover reading.

‘Millie was seven years old when she was first diagnosed with brain cancer. To rebuild her physical and mental strength, both significantly depleted following seven months of intensive treatment, Millie and I made a habit of going on regular walks in the countryside. As part of those, we also started talking about her cancer and the limitations that this disease and its cure was going to impose on her life.

“This is the book I wish I’d had when my daughter was first diagnosed.’

Marco Previero covers several aspects of brain cancer and its related treatment in layman’s terms, making it easy to understand for fellow parents facing similar circumstances including; the many practical challenges that parents, and survivors of childhood brain tumours face in the long-term depending on the position of the tumour, its related treatment and cure, how the body copes with therapy, and the level of support available in the recovery phase. He provides an objective exploration and reflection of Millie’s treatment, the limitations it has imposed, and what they found helpful in addressing and managing these during treatment and recovery.

• Contains 15 relevant, practice-oriented topics including lung cancer screening; advances in surgical techniques for lung cancer; non-surgical therapy for early-stage lung cancer; locally advanced lung cancer; what’s new in small cell lung cancer; and more. 

• Provides in-depth clinical reviews on lung cancer, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. 

• Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews. 

Many books have been written on the psychobiology of health and healing and on the wisdom accummulated by the bodymind since inception. The research of Dr. Milton Erickson, his disciples and many other has already demonstrated that emotions and beliefs are most important components in the equation sickness-health. Through personal experiences as a prisoner in concentration camps and torture chambers, the author demonstrates how much control the individual has over emotions, pain and pain management.

A practical, easy-to-understand guide how to kill your cancer with cannabis and keep yourself cancer-free

Don’t expect to hear this from your doctor! 

In 2012, the author’s son Mike was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After three operations, including a colostomy and subsequent chemotherapy, mother and son searched for alternative treatments, but most of what they found was snake oil information—dishonest people trying to sell so-called “miracle cures” to vulnerable patients,” often with fancy sales pitches.

A German university’s research article about cannabis cancer treatment changed Mike’s life. After five months of cannabis therapy doctors confirmed that Mike was cancer free.

Not being  satisfied with dispensary marijuana, Mike developed his own strains, concentrating mostly on high CBD plus THC combinations. He now has generated dozens of amazingly powerful SHAROK cannabis strains for cancer treatment, but also for other diseases like epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, MS, chronic pain management, sleep disorders, chemotherapy side effects, PTSD, etc.

For three years now, mother and son have worked in cancer support groups, sharing Mike’s cannabis products with fellow patients. Patients’ testimonials speak of their happiness and relief about their miraculous cannabis healing.

• In this book you will learn about:
  How Mike’s cannabis oil cured his own cancer and that of friends and fellow patients.This means you don’t have to wade through dozens of websites, books, YouTube videos or forums. Using this method you can start your own healing almost immediately.
• The endocannabinoid system (our body’s own cannabinoid manufacturing system)
• The cannabis plant
  THC versus CBD
• The healing powers of high CBD strains
• How to choose the best delivery method (smoking, vaporizing, ingesting, edibles, topical application or rectal administration)
  How to beware of hemp oil hustlers
• How to dose accurately. Many cannabis patients have difficulty getting used to ingesting or using cannabis. While over-dosing tends to cause undesirable side effects, too little medicine reduces the effect. With this guide you will learn how to ease into cannabis treatment without difficulty and use the correct amounts at the right time.
• The complete SHORAK treatment plan for cancer
• SHORAK medicinal strains versus dispensary strains
• How to make your own cannabis oil
• New SHORAK cannabis medicinal strains currently under development 

What are the advantages of using this book?
Using this technique, you’ll quickly learn to prepare your own cannabis cancer medicine and thereby guarantee highest quality and steady availability. Each step is based on years of making cannabis oil and proven actual practice.

Just a few examples of what patients write about SHORAK cannabis medicine

“After barely 5 months—all three cancers gone and completely off chemo.”

“It has now been definitely concluded that I no longer show signs of cancer.”

“WOW! From stage IV lymphoma and leukemia to full remission with SHORAK oil!” “

When I was preparing for DM entrance, I experienced a dearth of books on the subject of oncology and the books that were available were either not updated or were lacking in depth, that was when I conceived the idea of writing such a book myself. I have written this book purely from the perspective of an oncologist and by relying on the highest quality material, most importantly the Bible of oncology: DeVita, Hellman, and Rosenberg’s Cancer Principles & Practice of Oncology 11th edition. The NCCN guidelines and high impact journals were also referenced as and when needed. The result is this book, which will serve the purpose of equipping the exam going (NEET-SS and board review, along with any other entrance exam where questions about oncology are asked) doctors with the right tool to test and build their knowledge. As the knowledge in the field of oncology is unfolding at an unprecedented scale and new strategies are being devised at a prolific pace, it is not possible to provide all of the updated information, all at once. I will be updating this book periodically for this purpose and I would implore readers to keep themselves updated by going through the quarterly updates of DeVita’s oncology that are included with the purchase of the 11th edition and also the NCCN guidelines.

Using searing honesty, biting humour and some very bad sweary language, Hilary relates the story of the horror of a cancer diagnosis, from the first, terrifying tests through the shock of diagnosis, surgery and then some deeply intimate and unpleasant treatment.

Mid way through her breast cancer treatment she receives a second, even more devastating diagnosis of unrelated cervical cancer which brings her world crashing down around her. Surely two cancers at once is taking the mick?

Right from the start Hilary decides to share her story on social media, as a way of coping with the enormity of what is happening to her, and to try and help others who are going through the same experience. What she finds along the way is enormous support and encouragement, not only from friends and family, but from a whole new group of cancer patients and cancer survivors in online communities she never knew existed. ‘Finding the funny’ in cancer is no easy task, especially in the middle of a global pandemic, but armed with a ‘never say ‘journey'” attitude, and with her new cancer-bestie Darcey by her side, she manages to stay afloat by clinging tightly to black humour and a rigid determination to share everything, even the bits you really don’t want her to share.

Hilary is honest and upfront about the parts of cancer you rarely hear about. She starts off as a complete novice, knowing nothing at all, but she knows that this is a challenge she can’t take on her own. As she says in her first ever post:

“I don’t know anything about cancer, so don’t expect medical advice or expertise. I have no idea what any of the jargon or terminology means, but I’m sure I’ll be an expert soon enough. I don’t know how to be a cancer patient yet, I probably won’t be a very good one, but I do know that I won’t be starting coffee mornings or running marathons any time soon (you can pretty much bet your mortgage on that last one). So if you’re interested in coming along, here we go.”

Throughout this book, you’ll learn about breast and cervical cancer, the different kinds of treatments available, and the reality of living through cancer while balancing a career, marriage, teenagers and a bunch of pets. But what you’ll also learn about is the mental battle that comes along with a cancer diagnosis – the parts that don’t often get mentioned. You’ll hear about the day-to-day struggle to keep going through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and the dark times when cancer seems to be the only thing you can see on the horizon. You’ll taste the tears and feel the heart-stopping fear of waiting for appointments to hear the next devastating blow. But you’ll also cry with laughter, cheer out loud, and wince at the candid descriptions of invasive and highly intimate treatments that Hilary endures.

This is a book about cancer, but it also a book about life. It is raw, honest, and punchy.

If you have never had cancer, this book will open your eyes to the reality of what a cancer diagnosis means, while still making you laugh out loud at the madcap tales of a middle aged woman who swears too much and really hasn’t got life as nailed as she’d like the world to think she has.

If you are currently living with cancer, you will find a place that feels familiar, where you are surrounded by friends who really, truly get it. Find out what to expect throughout your treatment plan (definitely not a ‘journey) and how to cope by reaching out to others who know how it feels.

‘You, Me & Oncology’ is the best of humanity at the worst of times. Strong, powerful & steeped with love, this book will touch your heart. It will be sweary too.

An essential guide to the treatment and management of lung cancer 

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, attributed mostly to environmental and behavioral factors. However, a diagnosis of lung cancer no longer means inevitable death. The new standards of care and a greater understanding of the etiology and biology of the disease has led to breakthroughs in patient survival rates that were not seen in the past. 

Standards of Care: Lung Cancer provides a solid foundation in the new principles approaching this disease. Presented in an accessible, quick-to-digest format, and written by leading experts in a variety of medical fields, this authoritative guide covers all the new procedures and treatment options and the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment, including immunotherapy and oncogene inhibition, and more. This is an essential resource for both practitioners and students studying for the boards or certification.

Features

• Covers the most current treatments
• Continuous online updates on guidelines, new therapies, and studies
• Includes checklists, case studies, learning objectives, and clinical pearls
• Bibliography with listings of studies and trials
• Serves as an ideal resource for practice and board review 

“This book, in both its direct and indirect inferences, points to the need for disease-specific neurocognitive methods in broadly occurring CNS and non-CNS cancers… All in all, this is a beautifully conceptualized book that should be on the bookshelves of many specialists who work in the very challenging field of Oncology.”–Carol L. Armstrong, PhD, Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology

Interest in the neurocognitive and sensory impairments resulting from many cancers and their interventions has grown considerably over the past decades as an important aspect of quality of life issues for cancer patients and survivors. The Neuropsychology of Cancer and Oncology features current findings on the neuropsychological effects of these cancers and their treatments along with the most promising neuropsychological and behavioral health interventions available to mitigate these deficits. This edited volume, part of the Contemporary Neuropsychology series, bridges the gap between the knowledge of neuropsychologists, who are grounded in the biological and physiological bases of cognition and behavior but not in pathology, and that of oncologists, who often lack expertise in the neuropsychological aspects of cancer.

This text first addresses the biological components and medical care of these cancers, and issues relating to bioimaging. It then discusses the neurological impact of these cancers as they affect different functions, such as memory, learning, and sensory-motor ability, as well as discusses the effects of childhood cancers on neurological development. State-of-the-art neuropsychological and behavioral health interventions are considered, including neuropsychological/cognitive rehabilitation and habituation, pharmacological interventions, and collaborative medical practices. This text is a unique and timely resource for clinical neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, neurologists, oncologists, oncology nurses, and neurorehabilitation professionals.

Key Features:

• Bridges the gap of knowledge between neuropsychologists and oncologists
• Explores the most current research on the neuropsychological effects of various cancers and their treatments
• Provides state-of-the-art information on promising neuropsychological and behavioralñhealth interventions for impairments created by cancers and their treatments
• Represents a collaboration between some of the foremost scholars and practitioners in neuropsychology and oncology
