Targeted therapies in oncology

 
Authors :Giaccone, Giuseppe; Soria, Jean-Charles
Edition : 2
Year :2014
Description :

Features

    • Explores targeted agents of immune checkpoints
    • Examines signal-transduction and stem cell inhibitors
    • Discusses antiangiogenic and vascular-disrupting agents
    • Reviews apoptosis modulators
    • Describes tumor profiling for drug development

Summary

Since the last edition of this book, major advances have been made in our understanding of key pathways that control tumor progression. This has led to the development of new anticancer agents that have the ability to block the activity of proteins involved in neoplastic cell development and proliferation. Targeted Therapies in Oncology, Second Edition provides a concise timely panorama of existing targeted therapies and progress into future anticancer treatments.
These therapies notably include:
  • Targeted agents of immune checkpoints
  • Signal-transduction inhibitors
  • Antiangiogenic agents
  • Vascular-disrupting agents
  • Apoptosis modulators
  • Stem cell inhibitors
  • Tumor profiling for drug development
The book emphasizes the biology behind this new class of drugs as well as the clinical achievements obtained. The contributors to this volume stand at the cutting edge of cancer research and treatment around the world.
