Chemoradiation in Cancer Therapy Summary

Chemoradiation in Cancer Therapy by Hak Choy

Internationally recognized experts in cancer biology and clinical research review the present status of the multimodality approach to the management of solid tumors and speculate on possible future strategies for chemoradiation therapy. The authors detail applications of combined modality therapy in lung, esophageal, breast, gastric, pancreatic, colon, and rectal cancers. They also show how radiation interacts with such chemotherapeutic agents as the platinum complexes, taxanes, and gemcitabine in the treatment of malignant gliomas, and head and neck cancer. A review of how to integrate new specific molecular targeted agents into multimodality therapy in the future.

Chemoradiation in Cancer Therapy Reviews

Chemoradiaton in Cancer Therapy offers both clinical and basic oncologists not only a bold synthesis of the rapid and complex advances in new therapeutic modalities, but also highly practical guide to today's best strategies in cancer treatment. -Neoplasma
