Jose Russo Livres

This monograph, written by well renowned breast cancer expect, Dr. Jose Russo, provides new insight on the pathobiology of breast cancer from the most current advances in the field, translational research, initiation and progression of the disease, the mechanism of invasion and metastasis and the concept of stem cells in treatment and drug resistance. The role of personalized medicine and genomic testing are also explored, which will provide a window to the future progress of cancer care.

The narrative explores the journey of a cancer researcher during a transformative era in biomedicine, highlighting the author's unique educational and socioeconomic background. It delves into the impact of high-level institutional decisions on cancer research, offering an insightful perspective on the field. Through vivid storytelling, the author illustrates significant scientific discoveries and intellectual growth, serving as an inspiring example for aspiring cancer researchers.

Recent advancements in cancer research have led to significant breakthroughs in understanding the disease, driven by innovative scientific and technological methods. Researchers are now tackling complex challenges that were previously inconceivable, highlighting the need for training new generations of scientists to navigate this evolving landscape.

Focusing on breast cancer prevention strategies, this book offers a critical analysis that highlights their cost-effectiveness and impact on patients' quality of life. It delves into current methods used for prevention, assessing their efficacy and implications for healthcare. The exploration of these strategies aims to inform better decision-making and enhance patient outcomes in the context of breast cancer care.

This volume, with contributions from the most recognized experts in preventive strategies in breast cancer, presents the accepted as well as the novel ideas that have been introduced for the prevention of breast cancer. There is no single preventive agent that can stop the incidence of breast cancer—the malignant disease most frequently diagnosed in women of all races and nationalities. Furthermore, its incidence around the globe is increasing in industrialized countries. The worldwide incidence of breast cancer has increased 30-40% since the 1970s, reaching an excess of 1,390,000 new cases and a mortality of more than 460,000 cases in 2015. Therefore, what is needed is the development of rational strategies for the prevention of this fatal disease.

This richly-illustrated atlas-like book provides a foundation for the biological and molecular understanding of how the mammary gland develops and how breast cancer originates. The main goal is to comprehensively review in ten chapters fundamental knowledge in breast cancer. New paradigms are described in which induction of differentiation in the mammary gland can promote prevention and cure of breast cancer. The text is extremely helpful both for clinicians treating patients and researchers looking for new avenues of development.
