| Summary |
Uniquely, Hormonal Carcinogenesis IV, integrates salient aspects of hormone-related cancers of interest to epidemiologists, basic researchers, and clinicians. The most recent advances in the major hormone-related cancers are presented by leaders of their specialty. The chapters in this volume deal with the causation, dependence, and resistance of endocrine-related cancers with particular emphasis on the most common neoplasms occuring in men and woman world wide, such as breast, prostate, uterine, and ovarian cancers |
