The Alpine Gamble by Mary Daheim
This volume reviews advances in the field of human tumor immunology, particularly in relation to the potential for immune intervention in preventing or treating tumors. The editors and contributors, all leading workers in the field, survey advances in the understanding of the relationship between the cancer cell and the immune response. Chapters review in depth the function of immune surveillance and mechanisms of tumor immunity, the role of T lymphocytes and oncogenes in the immune response to cancer, and the potential for immunotherapy of cancer. New areas of tumor immunology are presented, including recent progress in the development of tumor vaccines with particular reference to melanoma.Before she could spell, Mary Richardson Daheim began making up stories. Daheim has worked as a journalist, an editor, a public relations consultant, and a freelance writer, but her preferred medium has always been fiction. She began a career that has resulted in more than fifty novels since 1982. The Pacific Northwest Writers Association awarded her the Literary Achievement Award in 2000. She was recognized into the University of Washington's Communications Hall of Fame in October 2008. Daheim is a direct descendent of past residents of the genuine Alpine when it existed in the early twentieth century, and she lives in Seattle.
