One of the most interesting features of cancer in Europe is the geographical difference in cancer incidence and mortality. This is reflected in the present Atlas, which constitutes the first comprehensive monograph on cancer epidemiology in central Europe. The aim of this publication is to guide...
The present volume differs considerably from its first edition and the many changes made provide a new structure and presentation of the information. Separate new chapters each describing the tumours of the major parts of the alimentary tract have been added. New chapters are included on tumours...
This book presents leading research in the field of chemoprevention from human studies and experimental models aimed at identifying chemopreventive agents and their mechanisms of action.
El presente volumen está dedicado casi enteramente a las funciones de registros de cáncer de población, si bien contine un capítulo donde se subrayan las funciones especializadas de los registros hospitalarios. La monografía describe los pasos necesarios para la planificación y el desarrollo de...
Cancers due to exposures in the workplace in developing countries have received little attention, in part because of the overriding problems in those regions of communicable diseases, malnutrition and vulnerability to natural disasters. This book shows, however, that the global process of...
This volume is a compendium of knowledge on physico-chemical properties, methods for synthesis and detection, and the biological relevance of several hundred known DNA adducts that are produced by some 20 classes of carcinogens and mutagens. It represents the combined efforts of leading...
To improve the reliability of interpretation of long-term animal test results and to simplify their use for regulatory purposes, a standardized nomenclature for the lesions observed in the tests is essential. This Classification of Rodent Tumours will help overcome some of the traditional...

This volume is part of a series on pathology of tumours in laboratory animals. The mouse remains one of the most commonly used experimental models for both routine testing of possibly carcinogenic chemicals and research on mechanisms of tumour induction and development. This had led to an...
