1 Peritoneal dissemination of gastrointestinal tumors -- 2 Mucins and tumor biology -- 3 Bromelain -- 4 N-acetylcysteine -- 5 A novel approach to peritoneal dissemination of mucin-expressing malignancies of gastrointestinal origin -- Summary and future potential directions.

This volume will describe both growth-inhibitory and mucin-depleting effects of bromelain and N-acetylcysteine, on their own or in combination, in cancer. It will coherently review the pathophysiological aspects of the mucin glycoproteins in malignancies and provide an updated account of the status of bromelain and N-acetylcysteine in cancer therapy. The volume will develop the idea of using these two drugs as a combination formulation for mucin-depleting effects. .
