Synopsis
An increasing awareness has emerged in recent years of an association between therapeutic hormonal agents and a variety of human cancers, including uterine, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, liver, testicular, prostatic, breast, hepatic and thyroid cancers. Concomitantly, there has been a resurgence in hormonal carcinogenesis research, a field that studies the involvement of both natural and synthetic hormonal agents in all aspects of neoplastic transformation in humans and animals. In this volume, contributors present state-of-the-art research regarding the current understanding of the normal physiologic, biochemical and molecular processes by which hormones affect cell proliferation and differentiation and neoplastic processes.
