Description
Book SynopsisThis volume in the popular series, Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences, begins with the history of cancer treatment, carcinogens, and molecular mechanisms involved in cancer pathogenesis. It incudes conventional and advanced cancer therapies ranging from oral and parenteral preparations to advanced fabricated systems such as nanoparticles, liposomes, antibodies, aptamers, poly(amidoamine) and photodynamic therapies. The preparation and mechanisms of molecular targeting of cancer are presented and the authors focus on a diverse audience including undergraduates and research students.
