Description for Adipose Tissue and Cancer
Paperback. This book discusses data suggesting the role of adipose tissue in cancer, and examines mechanisms - such as tumor vascularization and immune system suppression - through which excess or restriction of adipose tissue could influence cancer progression. Editor(s): Kolonin, Mikhail G. Num Pages: 198 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 314.
Recent studies have shown that cells from adipose tissue are capable of trafficking to tumors, thus enabling paracrine action of adipokines from within the tumor microenvironment. Increased tumor vascularization, immune system suppression and direct effects on malignant cell survival and proliferation have been investigated as mechanisms regulated by adipokines. The goal of this book is to discuss data pointing to the role of adipose tissue in cancer and to dissect individual mechanisms through which adipose tissue excess or restriction could influence cancer progression.
