Infos

This volume will introduce new terminology to the field of oncology, subdividing it into oncokinetics-the mechanics of the tumor cells as they arise and spread throughout the body-and oncodynamics-the impact of abnormal cues generated by tumors on the physiological functioning of the body. The volume will outline the importance of oncodynamics from both a cancer patient's and a caregiver's perspectives, stressing its significant impact on cancer patient functionality and the opportunity that cancer researchers will have to develop cross-disciplinary interactions and predict potential consequences of tumors and/or treatment.

Gurmit Singh, PhD, is Professor, Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Senior Scientist, Hamilton Health Sciences, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
