Anticancer therapeutics

"Anticancer Therapeutics provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of information now available in this important and fast-moving subject. The book provides a clear introduction to the area, with an overview of the various drug design and development approaches for cancer therapeutics and their progress in today's multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment." "Clearly structured throughout, the book not only provides information on currently-used molecular treatment approaches, but also describes the various agents at different stages of development and clinical trials, thus making them the drugs of tomorrow."--BOOK JACKET.
