"Cancer Chemotherapy is a clear and accessible introduction offering an invaluable resource for all students taking courses in the subject. The book is unique in its approach, enabling the student to gain an understanding of the pathological, physiological and molecular processes governing malignancy, whilst also introducing the role of health professionals and scientists in the research and treatment of cancer. This new edition provides an update on the current state of the art of cancer chemotherapy and clinical practice whilst also introducing new pipeline anticancer agents and promising therapeutic strategies which are emerging alongside new breakthroughs in cancer biology. We are now entering an era where instead of taking a "one-size-fits-all approach", the field of oncology is taking the lead on the development of bespoke or personalized chemotherapy, which takes account of the genomic differences in the way individual patients respond to anticancer agents"-- Provided by publisher.
