The editors of this new book...provide a good introductory guide to a whole range of biological interventions. The authors do make the very important point that 'individualised' treatment is going to be the order of the day. All cancer are different, we have to find out how different they are with ever-improving laboratory testing, and we have to tailor treatment to suit each cancer's unique profile and bring them back under control biologically. Oncology News, Vol 1 Issue 5, This introductory guide is essential reading as the transition from the laboratory phase to clinical practice is made. Opening chapters on the cell biology of caner and the immune system set the scene, before the clinical development of biological therapies is addressed. The reader is then guided through the various methods and types of biological therapy...The potential of genetic information to benefit patients concludes this guide. [It is] edited by a team with perspectives in pharmacology, oncology and nursing, and [has] contributions from experts in the various areas of biotherapy.
Review
"This introductory guide is essential reading as the transition from the laboratory phase to clinical practice is made."--Anticancer Research
"The editors of this new book do indeed provide a good introductory guide to a whole range of biological interventions...Oncologists and doctors in general need to take a look at this book, and having done so ask themselves two questions: where do we go from here? And how much are we prepared to go along with this new flow?"--Oncology News
