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.
