Neurobiology of Cancer Role of the Nervous System in Cancer Etiopathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention /
The focus of this book is to describe the current understanding of the interactions between the nervous system and cancer and the use of this information in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Author and noted researcher Boris Mravec presents a clearly written and well-illustrated monograph on t...
