Description
Book SynopsisTargeting Oncogenic Drivers and Signaling Pathways in Lymphoid Malignancies A thorough compilation of the many scientific breakthroughs in the ongoing development of precision cancer therapies related to lymphoma
Targeting Oncogenic Drivers and Signaling Pathways in Lymphoid Malignancies: From Concept to Practice focuses on lymphoma, an area which has seen a remarkable number of breakthroughs in the ongoing development of precision cancer therapies. Each section on a specific biology or class of drugs has an introductory chapter written by an authority in the field, exclusively focused on the science and its relevance to cancer biology. This approach addresses the need for scientists, physicians, and the private sector to understand the broader context of the extraordinary advances that have produced such astonishing advances in the disease.
The work primarily focuses on how to understand and translate fundamental principles of basic science into informati
