DESCRIPTION:
Kareva published a book entitled Niche Construction, Sustainability, and Evolutionary Ecology of Cancer (Scholar’s Press, 2015) and has published in diverse important journals as Ecology and Evolution of Cancer, Journal of Theoretical Biology and Cancer Research. Several of the theoretical constructs that she proposed have been subsequently independently verified experimentally. Kareva strives to incorporate knowledge from molecular biology, evolutionary ecology, mathematics, game theory and even palaeontology to find approaches to understand and treat cancer to achieve long term positive outcomes.

Understanding Cancer from a Systems Biology Point of View: From Observation to Theory and Back starts with a basic question, why do we sometimes observe accelerated metastatic growth after resection of primary tumors? Next, it helps readers understand the systemic nature of cancer and how it affects treatment approaches and decisions. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, cancer biologists, mathematicians and members of the biomedical field who are interested in applying systems biology methodologies for understanding and treating cancer.Explains the systemic nature of cancer and how it affects decisions on treatmentBrings a variety of met
