Advances in Nitric Oxide and Cancer is a volume that serves to give the latest research on nitric oxide (NO) and cancer. More specifically, the volume reviews significant advances in the application of NO-mediated drugs. The volume explores nitric oxide and its relationship to cancer spanning from its roles in the pathogenesis, prognosis, gene and protein modifications, regulation of resistance to cytotoxics, and therapeutic applications. With chapters written by leading experts, the volume addresses the burgeoning interest in a rapidly advancing field and provides a valuable resource to scientists who have initiated research as well as clinical investigations in their laboratories on the various roles of NO and cancer.

Additional text
“It describes the current perceptions on
the role of NO. in cancer and a possible therapeutic application of
NO. in the clinical practice. … The book also presents several mechanisms
of multiple effects and potential of NO. for therapeutic use under
optimal conditions. It can be recommended to all readers who are interested in
the pathogenesis and therapy of cancer.” (Darina Slamenova, Neoplasma, Vol. 62
