Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Contains papers from a September 1997 symposium, covering major subjects of concern to epidemiologists, pathologists, surgeons, oncologists, and molecular biologists. Papers are arranged in sections on epidemiology and pathology of pancreatic cancer, molecular biology of pancreatic cancer, and current and future treatment. Specific topics include cell linkage in pancreatic neoplasms, growth factors and their receptors in pancreatic neoplasia, and advances in surgery and imaging. Includes bandw and color photos. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Includes bibliographical references and index.
