Hormone-Related Malignant Tumors

Hormone-Related Malignant Tumors edited by Lutwin Beck, Ekkehard Grundmann, Rolf Ackermann, Hans-Dieter Röher.

The growth and function of many tissues are influenced by hormones. Therefore it is quite understandable that hormones play a role in the development and treatment of malignant tumors. Numerous publications address this topic; however, the results of many studies are controversial and have not been...
