| Description: |
This
volume provides a comprehensive, highly readable overview of the topics
discussed at the First International Symposium on"Vitamin D Analogs in
Cancer Prevention and Therapy" held in Homburg/Saar, Germany in May
2002. Leading researchers discuss our present knowledge of the vitamin
D system in cancer. Topics range from the newest findings in molecular
biology, epidemiology, synthesis and metabolism of vitamin D to new
concepts for the use of vitamin D analogs in cancer prophylaxis and
treatment. The book provides essential up-to-date information for every
researcher or clinician interested in the biology of vitamin D or
cancer.
