Recent research  has confirmed the belief that critical genetic changes are at work in  cancer cells. The genome, then (DNA in biochemical terms), surely  represents a critical target for specific chemotherapy of cancer, and  several chapters address the issue of attacking DNA, gene targetting,  and the like. Others deal with principles of rational design,  exploitation of novel modalities and targets, or the nuts and bolts of  antitumour drug testing. While no attempt has been made to provide a  comprehensive coverage of this wide-ranging and vitally important  subject, the present volume in the series will provide much food for  thought. \u003cbr\u003e\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: 9789401066594\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-0385-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44408186962060,"sku":"9789401066594","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401066594.jpg?v=1776521761","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401066594","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
