Academic Press Peritoneal Tumor Microenvironment of Cancers on Cancer Hallmarks: Perspectives of Translational Medicine

Peritoneal Tumor Microenvironment of Cancers on Cancer Hallmarks: Perspectives of Translational Medicine provides readers with cutting-edge knowledge on tumor microenvironment. By exploring multiple aspects on tumor microenvironment, it gives an integrative insight on cancer diseases ranging from diagnosis to prediction of prognosis and individualized treatment.The book discusses topics such as clinical significance of tumor microenvironment, tumorigenesis and cancer progression, histopathological features of cancer in peritoneum, immune cells in tumor, exosomal cell-to-cell interactions, and therapeutic approaches to target tumor microenvironment. Additionally, it discusses tumor evolution during chemotherapy and metastasis, and future perspectives on identification and validation of biomarkers using liquid biopsy. This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, medical doctors, and several members of biomedical field who want to understand the complex microenvironment of peritoneal tumors.

About the Author Yong Sang Song, MD, PhD is currently Professor at Seoul National University, College of Medicine. He received his MD and PhD at the Seoul National University (1983 and 1994 respectively). He was elected as the chairperson of Korean Society of Urogynecology in 2006. He was selected as the Director of Cancer Research Institute at Seoul National University in 2009, and as the President of Korean Society of Cancer Prevention in 2012. He served as the President of International Society of Precision Cancer Medicine (ISPCM) in 2018. His major research interests are molecular mechanisms of tumors, especially the role of tumor microenvironment in cancer cell metabolism, chemoresistance and precision medicine in gynecologic cancer. He is particularly interested in the impact of components of tumor microenvironment in ovarian cancer progression. Danny N.
