This volume is devoted to the new developments in such topics as mechanisms of hormonal carcinogenesis, epidemiology and risk factors, hormone production by tumor tissue and hormonal sensitivity of the latter, genesis, dichotomy and endocrinology of cancer in females, pharmacogenomics and proteomics in oncoendocrinology, biological core of hormonal and antihormonal therapy of cancer and its prevention.
