SPRINGER PUBLISHING COMPANY Cancer Immunotherapy Principles and Practice by Lisa H. Butterfield Howard L. Kaufman Francesco M. Marincola
Cancer Immunotherapy Principles and Practice, from the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), is the authoritative reference on cancer immunobiology and the immunotherapy treatments that harness the immune system to combat malignant disease.Featuring five sections and over 50 chapters covering the Basic Principles of Tumor Immunology, Cancer Immunotherapy Targets and Classes, Immune Function in Cancer Patients, Disease Specific Treatments and Outcomes, and Regulatory Aspects of Cancer Immunotherapy, this book covers all major topics that have shaped the development of immunotherapy and propelled it to its current place at the forefront of cancer treatment innovation. This volume is a comprehensive resource for oncologists and fellows, immunologists, cancer researchers, and related practitioners seeking understanding of the basic science and clinical applications of cancer immunotherapy. As well as presenting the evidence for immune-based cancer treatment, it positions immunotherapy in the context of other available cancer treatments and provides data on response rates, risks, and toxicities across a variety of diseases. Filled with detailed tables, and instructive illustrations, as well as key points for quick reference, Cancer Immunotherapy Principles and Practice simplifies a challenging and dynamic subject.Key Features:Clearly summarizes the basic principles and research supporting cancer immunotherapy clinical translationContains expert guidance and treatment strategies for all immunotherapy classes and agents, including cell-based therapies, monoclonal antibodies, cytokine therapies, checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic viruses, adjuvant approaches, and treatment combinationsIncludes expert perspectives from leading authorities in the fieldProvides information on all FDA-approved immunotherapies, including clinical management and outcome dataDiscusses clinical aspects of immunotherapy for individual cancer types, including melanoma and other skin cancers, lung cancers, gynecologic cancers, gastrointestinal cancers, hematologic cancers, genitourinary cancers, head and neck cancers, sarcomas, brain and other CNS cancers, breast cancer, and pediatric malignancies.Explains regulatory aspects behind the development and approval of immunotherapy drugsIncludes Online Access to the Digital Book Section One: Principles of Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 1: Introduction to EEG SpectrogramsQualitative and Quantitative EEG AnalysisOscillations: EEG BackgroundTransients: Brief EEG EventsEvolving Patterns: Long EEG EventsTechnical Considerations: Trade-Offs in Spectral Estimation Detail versus Noise Temporal versus Spectral ResolutionUnderstanding ICU EEG Spectrograms: Cardinal Patterns Regular Flames Choppy Flames Broadband Monotonous (BBM) Narrowband Monotonous (NBM) Stripes Suppressed ArtifactSection Two: Clinical Practice of Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 2: Normal Findings, AwakePosterior Dominant Rhythm Supraharmonic Subharmonic Mu Rhythm Beta Activity Lambda WavesChapter 3: Normal Findings, Drowsiness & SleepHypnagogic Hypersynchrony Stage II Sleep Frontocentral Beta Activity Slow Roving Eye Movements Positive Occipital Sharp Transients Vertex Waves Sleep Spindles K Complexes Mittens Rapid Eye Movement SleepChapter 4: Benign Variants14 6 Positive Spikes 6Hz Phantom Spike WaveWaking, High Amplitude, Male (WHAM) Female, Old, Low Amplitude, Drowsiness (FOLD) Atypical Wicket WavesSmall Sharp Spikes Rhythmic Midtemporal Theta Activity of Drowsiness (RMTD) Ciganek Rhythm Sawtooth Waves Subclinical Rhythmic Electroencephalographic Discharges of Adults (SREDA)Chapter 5: Activation ProceduresHyperventilation Occipital Driving Asymmetric Visual Evoked Potentials Subharmonic Photomyoclonic Response Photoparoxysmal ResponsePhotoconvulsive ResponseChapter 6: Interictal Abnormalities, SlowingFocal Temporal Frontal Central Occipital Generalized Alpha Coma Spindle Coma Theta Coma Electrocerebral InactivityChapter 7: Interictal Abnormalities, Sporadic DischargesTemporal Frontal Centroparietal Occipital Rolandic MultifocalChapter 8: Ictal, Seizure(s)Temporal Frontal Centroparietal Occipital Hemispheric Paroxysmal Fast Activity Generalized Tonic-ClonicAbsence, Typical Absence, Atypical Myoclonic Slow Spike & Wave ElectrodecrementalChapter 9: Ictal, Status EpilepticusChapter 10: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Rhythmic Delta Activity (RDA)Lateralized (LRDA) Generalized (GRDA) Bilateral Independent (BI-LRDA) Multifocal (MF-RDA)Chapter 11: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Periodic Discharges (PD)Lateralized (LPD) Generalized (GPD) Bilateral Independent (BIPD) Multifocal (MF-PD)Chapter 12: The Interictal-Continuum, Triphasic Modifier ( TW)Chapter 13: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Spike-Wave (SW)Lateralized (LSW)Section 3: Artifacts in Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 14: Non-Cerebral Quantitative Electroencephalographic ArtifactsAlternating CurrentBreach RhythmCardioballisticChest PercussionElectrocardiogramElectroretinogramElectrodeEye BlinkingGlossokineticMyogenicNystagmus Lateral RotationalOcular BobbingPacemakerPulseRespiratorShiveringSnoringSweatingTwitchingVagal Nerve StimulatorVentilator
