Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Volume 1

"Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Volume 1" is a specialized book that delves deeply into tumor dormancy in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, prostate, and liver cancer, as well as melanomas. This first volume of a new series from Springer highlights the complex relationships between biological aging processes and tumors that are both dormant and quiescent. The contributions come from leading international researchers in the field of cancer research and cover a wide range of aspects related to this topic. The book analyzes, among other things, the role of the quiescent state in regulating hematopoietic and muscle stem cells and examines the molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced cellular senescence. Additionally, it addresses therapeutic interventions and the accurate diagnosis of relevant neoplasms, supported by numerous colored illustrations that illustrate the latest findings in this important research area.
