Main description:

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.

In view of this growing number of targeted and immunotherapeutic drugs for the management of cancer, Treatment Landscape of Targeted Therapies in Oncology gives the most up-to-date knowledge focused on antitumor-targeted therapies and immunotherapy.

The 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) as well as to the various specialized scientists and researchers involved in cancer research.
