Molecularly Targeted Therapy for Childhood Cancer

Herausgegeben:Houghton, Peter J.; Arceci, Robert J.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Each chapter will focus on the known molecular characteristics of specific childhood cancers, focusing on how the molecular 'drivers' can be exploited from a therapeutic standpoint with currently available targeted agents. Where applicable, integration of targeted therapies with conventional cytotoxic agents will be considered.

This volume will provide a comprehensive summary of molecular characteristics of childhood cancers, and how the changes involved in transformation provide us with opportunities for developing relatively less toxic, but curative, therapies.
