{"product_id":"how-cancer-works","title":"How Cancer Works","description":"This text exposes students from broad disciplines to the biology and clinical practice of cancer. Its goal is to aid patients, health care professionals, technology developers, policy makers, and advocates in developing a broad perspective of cancer, its mechanisms, and its treatment. The coverage includes a focused presentation of the cancer-specific aspects of cell biology, anatomy, and physiology, while omitting the vast spectrum of information in these topics that might be taught in standard biology or anatomy\/physiology classes but are not directly relevant to cancer. Clinical treatment of the most common cancers is presented, guided by current industry standard guidelines, with focus on prostate, breast, lung, colon, and pancreatic carcinomas as well as leukemia and lymphoma. Medical and biological language is used throughout, but these terms are explained in sidebars and glossaries with the expectation that biological or medical training should not be required to successfully use this text.Brian J. Kirby is the Meinig Family Professor of Engineering in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University, where he directs the Cornell Micro\/Nanofluidics Library. He was educated at the University of Michigan and Stanford University. Among many endeavors, his research group has developed microfluidic devices that extract and analyze patient cancer cells and have been validated in multinational clinical trials.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0849TVRN8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.B0849TVRN8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kirby, Brian J.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
