This book presents a summary of investigational techniques to establish diagnosis and assist in the management of cancer patients. Newer techniques in molecular biology as applied to pathology are discussed and placed in appropriate perspective. All the latest radiological techniques, including NMR, positrone emission tomography, digital subtraction angiography together with the better established techniques of computerized tomography and conventional radiography are described. The role of interventional radiology is also elucidated. The Contents discussed are: Techniques for the Determination of Tumour Neuroendocrine Differentiation and for the Localisation of Intracellular Organelles Involved in Peptide Synthesis, Storage and Release. New Molecular Techniques in Pathological Diagnosis: Visualisation of Genes and mRNA in Human Tissue. Statistical Methods of Evaluating and Comparing Imaging Techniques. Digital Subtraction Angiography. Interventional Radiology in Oncology. Computerised Tomography. Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Oncology. Ultrasound Techniques in Oncology. Nuclear Medicine Techniques in Oncology. Positron Emission Tomography in Oncology. Recent Advances in Radiotherapy and Oncology and Expectations for the Future.
