Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins within the breast and can happen either in one or both breasts due to the aberrant growth of cells. Majority of the breast cancers are in situ carcinoma and invasive carcinoma. Symptoms of breast cancer include an increase or decrease in the size of one breast, change in position or shape of nipple, dimpling and puckering skin, rash around nipple and discharge from nipple. Some of the ways that can be adopted to decrease the risk factors of breast cancer are exercising, avoiding cancer-causing activities, such as smoking and drinking, and following a healthy diet. Diagnosis of breast cancer can be done by a biopsy and physical examination of the breasts. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts related to the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of breast cancer. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.

Advances in Cancer Research
Volume 68 of <b>Advances in Cancer Research</b> continues the tradition of publishing up-to-date reviews and "hot" topics in cancer research. This volume begins with a "Foundations in Cancer Research" article by Harald zur Hausen that reviews his years of research on the idea that cancer can be triggered by infection. The structure and function of the cytokine receptor superfamily and its association with leukemias are discussed in depth by James Ihle. Marcia Hall and Gordon Peters review the evidence indicating that genetic abnormalities hinder the function of certain cyclins and their inhibitors. The most widely studied protooncogene, c-<i>myc</i>, is reviewed by Marie Henriksson and Bernhard Lüscher&#x3b; the chapter focuses on the function of c-<i>myc</i> as a transcription factor rather than on the effects of gene translocation and activation on malignancies. Ham Werner and Derek LeRoith present data on the role that insulin-like growth factors play on cell growth and regulation. In the final chapter, Olli-P. Kallioniemi and Tapio Visakorpi investigate the field of prostate cancer and, more importantly, the biological reason and natural history behind the growth of this cancer.
