About this book
This book represents a compilation of views and progress reports which illustrate the diversity of approaches to the problem. 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.
Reviews
Annals of Oncology
` This book is recommended both for scientists engaged in anticancer drug development and for the interested outsider. In general it is well produced and, apart from a few exceptions, most of the chemical structures are refreshingly well drawn. The individual chapters are nicely sub-sectioned and all are comprehensively referenced to the primary literature; indeed some of the references have already been useful in our own work. '
