Full Description
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of deaths worldwide. The eighth volume of the "Interdisciplinary Cancer Research" series, entitled "Lung Cancer Pathophysiology: An Interdisciplinary Approach" publishes comprehensive reviews on the mechanisms of lung cancer. Fundamental elements of a lung cancer multidisciplinary team are discussed. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition in lung cancer, and the roles of tumor immune microenvironment, NK cells, RNA, micro-RNA, and long-non coding RNA in lung cancer are explained. A comprehensive genomic profiling in lung cancer in the era of immunotherapy approaches is also provided in this volume. This interdisciplinary series is of special value to researchers working on oncology. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value to researchers, oncologists, and oncosurgeons who wish to extend their knowledge on lung cancer.
