Preface

This volume presents a detailed survey of various methodologies related to diag-nosis, therapy, and prognosis of ovar-ian cancer, renal cancer, urinary bladder cancer, and cervical uterine cancer, while the already published Volumes 1–5 detail similar aspects of breast, lung, prostate, liver, gastrointestinal, colorectal, and bil-iary tract carcinomas.

It is well established that cancer is the deadliest of human diseases. The follow-ing estimated global incidence of seven types of cancers discussed in this volume indicated the seriousness of this malig-nancy.

Cervical uterine cancer 493,342

Urinary bladder cancer 357,000

Leukemia 300,522

Renal cancer 208,480

Ovarian cancer 204,499

Melanoma of skin 160,177

Multiple Myeloma 85,704

As in the previous five volumes of this series, each chapter is written by distin-guished, practicing clinicians/surgeons/pathologists who provide methodologies for diagnosis and treatment of eight types

of cancers. This volume was written by 94 oncologists representing 13 countries. Their practical experience highlights their writings, which should build and further the endeavors of the readers in this impor-tant area of disease. The text of each can-cer type is divided into subheadings for the convenience of the readers. It is my hope that the current volume will join the preceding volumes of this series for assist-ing in the more complete understanding of globally relevant cancer syndromes. There exists a tremendous, urgent demand by the public on the scientific community to address cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and hopefully cures.

I am grateful to the contributors for their promptness accepting my suggestions. I respect their dedication and diligent work in sharing their invaluable knowledge with the public through this series. Each chap-ter provides unique individual, practical knowledge based on the expertise and practical experience of the authors. The chapters contain the most up-to-date prac-tical and theoretical information. I hope that these handbooks will assist the prac-ticing readers in their clinical work.

I am thankful to Dr. Dawood Farahi and Dr. Kristie Reilly for recognizing the importance

of scholarship (research, writing, and pub-lishing) in an institution of higher education and for providing the resources for complet-ing this project. I appreciate receiving expert

help from Myrna Ortiz and Erin McNally in preparing this volume.

Page 15: Ovarian Cancer, Renal Cancer, Urogenitary Tract Cancer ... fileOvarian Cancer, Renal Cancer, Urogenitary Tract Cancer, Urinary Bladder Cancer, Cervical Uterine Cancer, Skin Cancer,

The enormous burden of liver cancer on society becomes clear by considering the fact that approximately 625,000 new cases of this cancer are diagnosed globally each year. Distressingly, the number of deaths is approximately the same at 598,000 per year. Liver cancer, therefore, is the third most common cause of death from cancer. Survival rates for liver cancer are only 3–5% globally. In the United States, 19,160 new cases of liver cancer and 16,780 deaths were reported for 2007. The major risk factors for this cancer include prior infection with hepatitis B and C viruses, with the former more prevalent. Dietary exposure to fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (aflatoxins) also contributes to the incidence of liver cancer in many parts of the world. Tobacco use is the most serious preventable cause of cancer, as its use causes cancer of the lung, throat, mouth, liver, pancreas, urinary bladder, stomach, kidney, as well as other types. Alcohol-induced liver injury is another major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

In view of these devastating statistics, the urgency of deciphering the molecular mech-anism underlying this disease, perfecting reliable diagnostic methods, understanding risk factors, developing effective targeted drugs, improving other treatments, assessing the effectiveness of therapies, and providing improved care for post-treatment patients, becomes apparent. This volume provides up-to-date information on the above-mentioned aspects of liver cancer; specifically, details of the methodologies used are included. The other seven volumes in this series provide similar information on other types of can-cers.

This series of handbooks has taken the unique approach of discussing cancer diagno-sis, treatment, and prognosis in the same volume. It is pointed out that this vast subject cannot be fully discussed by only one author. This is the primary reason for inviting a large number of oncologists/clinicians/surgeons to write each of the eight volumes of this series of handbooks. Another advantage of involving more than one author is to present different points of view on a specific controversial aspect of cancer. I hope these goals were accomplished in this and other published volumes of this series.
