Springer Biological Basis of Alcohol-Induced Cancer - Springer 815

This comprehensive proceedings volume from Springer examines the growing body of research connecting alcohol consumption to cancer development. Based on presentations from the 2nd International Conference on Alcohol and Cancer held in Colorado in 2013, the book explores multiple dimensions of alcohol's effects on human health. Topics covered include the relationship between alcohol and liver cancer, breast cancer, cell signalling pathways, stem cell biology, biomarkers, metabolomics, and aerodigestive cancers. The volume addresses the complex and multifaceted nature of alcohol-induced carcinogenesis, making it essential reading for researchers, oncologists, and healthcare practitioners seeking to understand the mechanisms underlying alcohol-related malignancies. Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series (volume 815), this collection synthesises current scientific knowledge and investigative findings from leading experts in the field.
