This volume includes eight chapters that describe recent updates in cancer research. Chapter One highlights the benefits of ancillary/consulting care services within pediatric oncology, including social work, psychology, neuropsychology, expressive therapies, child life, chaplaincy, teachers/school liaisons, rehabilitation therapies, nutrition, and palliative care. Chapter Two discusses various generations of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and recent efforts in manufacturing CAR T-cells as a therapy for cancer treatment. Chapter Three explores alternative target pathways for putative therapeutic approaches affecting chronic myeloid leukemia cells. Chapter Four reviews research done on the role of epigenetics in the initiation and progression of thyroid cancer. Chapter Five summarizes the literature that implicates the underlying molecular mechanisms of paclitaxel resistance and the potential therapeutic targets to overcome this resistance. Chapter Six deals with the inhibition of autophagy for instigating temozolomide for increasing induction of apoptosis in glioblastoma. Chapter Seven studies the use of vitamin E for leukemic stem cells reprogramming. Finally, Chapter Eight describes new molecular studies for approaches affecting chronic myeloid leukemia cells.
