The resultant problems with unwanted side effects are compounded by difficulties in predicting the desired effectivity of chemotherapy in individual patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unsatisfactory situation has driven intensive research and development towards more specific and less toxic anticancer drugs over the last few decades. Several results of these efforts have reached the clinic and an even greater number are now in preclinical testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon to all these targeted therapies is their interaction with defined molecules present on cancer cells, which adds various degrees of increased selectivity to their toxic effects. As a consequence, detecting the target molecule on tumors before therapy holds great diagnostic potential for predicting the efficacy of the drug and personalizing therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to present translational scientists and clinicians with an integrated critical view on the theories, mechanisms, problems and pitfalls of the targeted therapy approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-06-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540460909\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-46091-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 262\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541638049932,"sku":"9783540460909","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540460909.jpg?v=1776436401","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540460909","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
