Immunological Implications and Molecular Diagnostics of Genitourinary Cancer

By Moulay Mustapha Ennaji, this book provides a comprehensive update on the recent accomplishments, unifying concepts, and future challenges in the study of tumor-associated immune cells, with a special emphasis on genitourinary cancers. It delves into the fundamental question of how cancer cells manage to evade destruction by the immune system, despite the presence of inflammatory immune cells in human tumors.

The book discusses the impact of the immune system on the initiation, progression, and treatment of cancer, shedding light on the crucial role of suppressor genes and oncogenes in genitourinary cancers. It also highlights the advantages of combining clinical issues of urologic cancers with immunological techniques such as immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, demonstrating the implications of genitourinary cancer on the human innate immune system.
