Sinossi

How are cancer and inflammation interrelated? There are relatively few texts that have truly integrated the two in spite of the many common mechanisms shared by their processes. This volume will help further understanding and bring new approaches to therapeutics. The first section of the book discusses inflammatory mechanisms, studied in cellular and animal studies. The second part concentrates on clinical studies with anti-inflammatory drugs in cancer treatment.
