Publisher: Informa HealthCare, 2008 Currently, there is a critical need for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, obstetricians, and gynecologists to integrate meaningful cancer screening and a prevention strategy into daily clinical practice.
It is particularly necessary for physicians with patients who are predisposed to hereditary gynecologic cancer (HGC). Clinicians are increasingly confronted with serious issues, such as attempting to knowledgeably apply growing insights of the biology and genetics of cancer, effectively identify high-risk patients, and utilize screening and prevention techniques in their practice.

Publisher: Humana Press, 2008 Bioinformatics can be loosely defined as the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers and mathematical algorithms.
Although no single person or group started the field wholly on their own, Temple Smith, Ph.D., a professor at Boston University, is generally credited with coining the term. Bioinformatics represents a marriage of biology, medicine, computer science, physics, and mathematics, fields of study that have historically existed as mutually exclusive disciplines.

Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell, 3rd edition, 2008 This book presents a wide range of lung cancer information in a format that is well organized and easy to read, even for someone without a science background.
This is a textbook, and as such is not appropriate to answer all questions about lung cancer but rather presents several topics in-depth. If you are a lung cancer patient or family member, you may find some helpful information but do not rely on this book as your only source of information.
