The "Neuroendocrine and Oral Cancers: An Interdisciplinary Approach" is the fourteenth volume of the "Interdisciplinary Cancer Research" series, publishes comprehensive volume on diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and oral cancers. The volume starts with a chapter on signaling pathways in neurological cancers and a general chapter on neuroendocrine neoplasms. Thyroid cancer and adrenal gland carcinoma as two examples of endocrine tumors are explained in this volume. The other chapters focus on oral cancers, where biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic opportunities are discussed. The last chapter also explains the challenges on oral and dental care on oncology. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for neurologists, endocrinologists, dentists, oncologists who wish to have an update on diagnosis and treatment of endocrine tumors and oral cancers.
