Advancements in Cancer Research focuses on selected topics in Oral and Maxillofacial Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pediatric Oncology, and Hematological Oncology. The book explores the advancements in our understanding of severe radiotherapy side effects such as osteoradionecrosis of the jaws and radiation-induced trismus, addressing their clinical and radiological features, and strategies for diagnosis and management. It underscores the quality-of-life concerns arising from radiotherapy, collecting data on the physical, social, and emotional effects of these conditions. Advancements in Cancer Research also discusses innovative treatments for brain metastases and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It addresses the challenges and advancements in treating neuroblastoma, a prevalent infant tumor. The book offers insights into dental implant-supported prostheses, an emerging oral rehabilitation option for patients who have undergone radiotherapy. One chapter is dedicated to cell microarrays, a powerful technique for studying numerous tissue samples on a single slide, highlighting its potential for drug screening and biomarker tracking. The book stands as a testament to the collaborative effort of many authors, who have contributed their expertise in various areas of oncology, fostering a better understanding of cancer research advancements. It is primarily designed for clinicians, although basic scientists will find valuable insights.
