Tumor-Suppressing Viruses, Genes, and Drugs Innovative Cancer Therapy Approaches

Tumor Suppressing Viruses, Genes, and Drugs introduces the new generation of cancer treatments currently in development and promising to replace or enhance the conventional therapies of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The book looks at innovative approaches such as viral therapy using specific viral mutants, gene therapy using a variety of tumor suppressor genes, and drug therapy targeted to block oncogenic signal pathways. The future outlook for such new techniques is also examined. The cutting-edge information presented in this book is beneficial to all scientists, from students to senior researchers or oncologists, involved in developing cancer therapeutics or in treating cancer patients. KEY FEATURES: * Presents groundbreaking approaches to treating cancer * Provides comprehensive source of information on viral, gene, and signal therapies for cancer * Bridges oncology and cancer research communities, and includes contributions from geneticists, molecular biologists, and cell biologistsMaruta, Hiroshi is the author of 'Tumor-Suppressing Viruses, Genes, and Drugs Innovative Cancer Therapy Approaches', published 2001 under ISBN 9780124762497 and ISBN 0124762492.
