Every cancer research scientist will need a copy of this text. As
billions of dollars are spent every year on research into targeted
therapies for cancer, it's more than ever crucial for the thousands of
scientists working in the field to keep right up to date with the
cutting edge. This fascinating collection of material goes a long way to
helping them do so, featuring as it does contributions to a crucial
international meeting in Italy. The meeting provided a forum for
scientists and clinicians working in cancer drug discovery and therapy
to share their opinions and experiences on the paradigm shift from
empiricism to molecular targeted therapies and its effect on the
development of new cancer therapies. The text here offers readers an
overview of diverse approaches, ranging from drug discovery to cellular
therapy. Overall, the book addresses the key question of whether
ultimately targeted therapy in cancer will be a myth or a reality.
