Mechanisms in B-Cell Neoplasia 1990

A workshop at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland held in March 1990, this book presents recent research in B-cell neoplasia. The contributors argue that future progress depends on the co-operation and collaboration of scientists from a variety of perspectives.

The latest research in B-cell neoplasia presented here shows that, while our understanding of these pathogenetic mechanisms is improving, future progress will depend on the co-operation, exchanges and collaboration of interested scientists from laboratories with different perspectives. The focus is on five major topics: the progress made in experimental models of B-cell tumorigenesis; the role of IL-6 in plasma cell tumour formation with particular emphasis on human myeloma; the immortalization and regulation of mitosis in B-cells; the mycgene in B-cell neoplasia, and the role of EBV and other oncogenes in the transformation of human BB lymphocyctes.
