The book provides a clear introduction to the area, with a historical overview of initial developments of cancer therapeutics and their progress in today's multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. Coverage includes currently used mainline molecular treatment approaches as well as "the drugs of tomorrow," making this an invaluable resource for postgraduates and researchers.
