Cancer-Targeted Drug Delivery

This detailed volume explores the frontiers of tumor targeting approaches in the field of tumor-targeted drug delivery and cancer therapy. Several topics involve the improvement of cancer detection and treatment using nanotechnologies, where the main challenge to transition from the laboratory to the clinic, with more effective, targeted, and less invasive treatments. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, chapters provide the kind of detailed implementation advice needed for successful future studies.

Authoritative and innovative, Cancer-Targeted Drug Delivery serves as the ideal reference for researchers using current cutting-edge technologies for tumor-targeting of drugs.
