Molecular Medicines for Cancer

<p>The field of molecular medicine covers the medical interventions targeting molecular structures and mechanisms that are involved in disease progression. </p><p></p><p>In cancer several molecular mechanisms have been shown to impact its progression aggressiveness and chemoresistance. Increasing evidence demonstrates the role of nanotechnology and outcome of molecular therapy.</p><p></p><p>Several books have discussed molecular biology and mechanisms involved in cancer but this text gives an account of molecular therapeutics in cancer relating to advancements of nanotechnology. It provides a description of the multidisciplinary field of molecular medicines and its targeted delivery to cancer using nanotechnology.</p><p></p><p>Key Features:</p><p></p><li>Provides current information in the multidisciplinary field of molecular medicines and its targeted delivery to cancer using nanotechnology</li><p></p><li>Presents important aspects of nanotechnology in the site-specific delivery of anticancer agents</li><p></p><li>Includes up to date information on oligonucleotide and gene based therapies in cancer</li><p></p><li>Describes small targeted molecules antibodies and oligonucleotides which have shown to selectively target the molecular structures thereby influencing signal transduction</li><p></p><li>Facilitates discussion between researchers involved in cancer therapy and nanoscientists</li>
