CRC Press - Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs

While drug therapies developed over the last 80 years have improved cancer management and treatment outcomes, challenges regarding side effects and effectiveness persist. This book addresses these challenges by examining how recent technological advances are creating improved therapies that target specific biological pathways in cancer cells. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs provides a detailed survey of all families of anticancer agents. It covers therapeutic approaches currently in use as well as those in advanced stages of clinical trials. This resource is designed to provide a clear understanding of the chemical and pharmacological foundations of modern oncology treatments and the emerging biological targets used in advanced cancer care.
