This book provides a clear introduction to the area, with anoverview of the various drug design and development approaches forcancer therapeutics and their progress in today'smultidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment.
Clearly structured throughout, the book not only providesinformation on currently used molecular treatment approaches, butalso describes the various agents that are currently at variousstages of development and clinical trials, thus making them thedrugs of tomorrow.
The book goes on to present current therapeutic regimesincluding their indications and side effects, as well as theirposition in the international market in terms of sales anddevelopment costs. Furthermore, coverage of our advancement in theunderstanding of cancer biology and how this has driven the drugdiscovery process is clearly discussed. Modern drug discoveryaspects, through genomic, proteomic and metabolomic approaches arereferred to as well as combinatorial chemistry techniques anddiscovery of chemotherapeutic agents from plant extracts, re-use ofold drugs and drugs from other indications, or de novorational drug design.
Including contributions from leading experts in the field, thisbook provides the reader with a complete overview of the varioustypes of therapeutic agents, current and emerging, as well as otheraspects associated with anticancer therapy, drug design, resistanceand clinical trials in oncology.
