Cho Chi Hin (ed.) Therapeutic Targets for Inflammation and Cancer: Novel Therapies for Digestive Diseases

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2017. — 458 p.This unique book deals with both inflammation and cancer in a single source of publication. They are seldom grouped together although it has been known that both diseases are closely associated, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. As the book touches on two such major areas of diseases in humans, it should be of interest to a wider audience of researchers and readers. It is noted that the book combines the effort of both basic scientists and clinicians from different countries with extensive experiences in molecular biology and clinical practice to unveil the most updated picture of the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies in the treatment of inflammation and cancer in the digestive tract. In this regard, potential pathogenic modulators and also therapeutic options are widely discussed. These types of information would definitely broaden our knowledge in better understanding these diseases. Basic and clinical researchers in the fields of inflammation, hepatology, pathology, pharmacology, oncology and gastroenterology. Can be used as a reference for their research and clinical practice in academic and industrial sectors.General Introduction to Inflammation and Cancer in the Digestive Tract
