ISBN: 9781619428010 出版年：2011 页码：158 Bradley D Germanno Nova Science

This new book examines the role of T cells in cancer progression and their interference with the immunotherapy of cancer, as well as patient-centered symptom clustering in advanced cancer patients. In addition, this book presents and discusses the surveillance and detection methods to locate clusters of cancer cases to indicate the occurrence of an outbreak or epidemic. The intraoperative immunomagnetic separation of CK+ cells to identify occult micrometastases of NSCLC and esophageal cancer is explored, as is the oncogene detection and pathological stage identification by computer science algorithm techniques.
