Print on Demand. Lieferbar innerhalb von 7 bis 10 Tagen

This book will serve as a comprehensive treatise on the latest studies concerning the interface of prostate cancer and energy balance, which together, constitute major challenges and opportunities for research scientists and clinicians, especially those dealing with the expanding geriatric population The book will explore the areas of research of prostate cancer This book will identify the impact on understanding implications for prostate cancer prevention, clinical care and migration and management of men with prostate cancer, as well as indications of future needs The book focuses on epidemiology of prostate cancer and its relation to energy balance in terms of incidence, recurrence, mortality, race and genetics The book focuses on the mechanisms by which energy balance impacts prostate cancer The focuses on emerging areas of interest such as intergenerational effects of energy balance and prostate cancer, and effects of environmental carcinogens and endocrine disruptors on obesity

This volume provides a comprehensive treatise on the latest studies linking prostate cancer with energy balance, which together constitute a major challenge and opportunity for research scientists and clinicians especially those dealing with the expanding population of older men confronted with obesity and associated comorbidities. This volume should be a valuable resource to physicians, oncologists, urologists, endocrinologists, nurses, nutritionists, dieticians, and exercise therapists dealing with men with energy balance issues and/or questions regarding the linkage between energy balance and cancer. Moreover, this volume should serve as an important resource for cancer researchers especially for scientists studying lifestyle modification and prevention strategies to better understand and disrupt the linkage between obesity and cancer.
