Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Carcinogenesis in the Hamster

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Carcinogenesis in the Hamster edited by Yoshitsugu Tajima, Tamotsu Kuroki, Takashi Kanematsu.

Malignant neoplasms occurring in the biliary tract and pancreas remain a therap- tic challenge. The mechanism of carcinogenesis as well as the growth and spread of these tumors is still poorly understood, making the development of rational tre- ment strategies difficult. In order to improve the clin...
