 | Oncodynamics: Effects of Cancer Cells on the Body This volume will introduce new terminology to the field of oncology, subdividing it into oncokinetics--the mechanics of the tumor cells as they arise and spread throughout the body--and oncodynamics--the impact of abnormal cues generated by tumors on the physiological functioning of the body. The volume will outline the importance of oncodynamics from both a cancer patient's and a caregiver's perspectives, stressing its significant impact on cancer patient functionality and the opportunity that cancer researchers will have to develop cross-disciplinary interactions and predict potential consequences of tumors and/or treatment.
