Note publique d'information : Le site de l'éditeur indique : "In this first authoritative overview on modern cancer
chemotherapy 121 international specialists have contributed their experience and recent
data for what is likely to become the gold standard in the field. The authors summarize
knowledge gained over the past decade, from basic concepts to successful applications
in the clinic, covering active and passive targeting strategies as well as tissue-specific
approaches. All current and future targeted delivery systems are discussed, from ligand-based
to antibody-based polymer-based systems, right up to micro- and nanoparticulate systems.
A special section covers the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics, such as siRNA,
miRNA and antisense nucleotides. In each case, a description of the basic technique
is followed by a discussion of the latest preclinical and clinical developments in
the field. By virtue of its clear and didactic structure, rich illustrative material
and summary chapters, this handbook and ready reference enables the efficient transfer
of knowledge between different disciplines, from basic research to the clinician and
vice versa. It is equally well suited for professionals, researchers and students
in medical oncology and cancer biology, and is also excellent for teaching medical
students the foundations of 21st century cancer chemotherapy."
