Whereas in 1991, when the second edition was  published, there was still some doubt on the part of many oncologists  and cancer researchers as to the therapeutic value of these new  approaches, it is now generally agreed that biopharmaceuticals are  producing major opportunities for new cancer therapies. Cancer  biotherapy has truly matured into the fourth modality of cancer  treatment. The third edition is now needed as a result of the  tremendous progress that has been made in recent years using  biologicals in cancer treatment. \u003cbr\u003e  The book summarizes an evolving science and a rapidly changing medical  practice. As we near the millennium, it now becomes possible to  envision a much more diversified system of cancer research and  treatment that will afford greater opportunities for patients. Some  forms of cancer biotherapy use the strategy of tumour stabilization  and control through continued biological therapy, akin to the use of  insulin in the treatment of diabetes. \u003cbr\u003e  This textbook illustrates new methods of thinking and new strategies  for control of cancer. It is always difficult to move from past dogma  to future opportunity, but this third edition of \u003cem\u003ePrinciples of  Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBiotherapy\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates why it is so important to the  patients, for researchers and clinicians to explore and apply these  new opportunities in cancer biotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401065016\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-0029-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260.0cm x195.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 892.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44352434634892,"sku":"9789401065016","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401065016_7c9d8781-83ad-4f7b-ad7b-031db001cbdf.jpg?v=1759296189","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401065016","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
