Academic Press Bio-Engineering Approaches to Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Product Description Bioengineering Approaches to Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment is written for an audience of senior undergraduate students and graduate students in mechanical, electrical and biomedical engineering fields and other professionals in medicine. It is ideally structured for teaching and for those who are working in cancer bioengineering or interdisciplinary projects. The book's authors bring a unique perspective from their expertise in immunology, nanobiomaterials and heat transfer. Topical coverage includes an introduction to the fundamentals of bioengineering and engineering approaches for cancer diagnosis, cancer treatment via case studies, and sections on imaging, immunotherapy, cell therapy, drug delivery, ultrasound and microfluidics in cancer treatment. Review Introduces the mechanisms underlying engineering approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of medical issues, including cancer About the Author Azadeh Shahidian is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Department at K.
