The metabolism and signaling of bioactive lipids are now considered paramount to the understanding of cancer biology. This volume helps to fill the desperate need to investigate and explore the potential uses of cancer therapy via bioactive lipids, the lack of efficacy, and future challenges associated with this form of therapy are discussed in depth. The volume starts with the subject, then concludes with a discussion of the chemistry, formation, and mechanism of bioactive lipids in cancer.

The volume focuses on lipoxins, ceramides, resolvins, and sphingosine-1-phosphate and their role in cancer treatment. It also addresses the use of bioactive lipids to treat cancer. A variety of mechanisms of bioactive lipids as novel therapies are also discussed, including the use of computational methods to identify compounds with a bioactive effect on lipids, the targeting of therapy via KRAS andPI3K signals, and other mechanisms. The authors also discuss the role and effects of various substances and their effect on various cancers, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and others. The utilization of lysophosphatidic acid, lipopolysaccharide, and other bioactive substances derived from avocado are covered as well.

The volume contains valuable information for scientists, technologists, and academia that is relevant to the study of bioactive lipids and their role in cancer prevention.
