Treatment Landscape of Targeted Therapies in Oncology: Challenges and Opportunities provides up-to-date knowledge on antitumor-targeted therapies and immunotherapy. The book's chapters are written by researchers dynamically working/focusing on cancer treatment. The content is designed to help those who are new to the field (beginners) and various specialized scientists and researchers involved in cancer research. For decades, the hallmark of cancer treatment has been conventional chemotherapy. But with the rapid increase in our understanding of the immune system, more and more small molecules, peptides, recombinant antibodies, vaccines and cellular therapeutic modalities are being applied to manipulate the immune response for cancer treatment.
- Covers basic concepts and updated knowledge of the latest anticancer drugs
- Brings comprehensive understanding of the treatment of cancer in context of immunotherapy and targeted therapy
- Introduces the latest drugs and advancements in the treatment of cancer
- Includes detailed diagrams to give insight to the mechanisms of action
