From the Back Cover
Tumor Suppressing Viruses, Genes, and Drugs introduces the new generation of cancer treatments currently in development and promising to replace or enhance the conventional therapies of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The book looks at innovative approaches such as viral therapy using specific viral mutants, gene therapy using a variety of tumor suppressor genes, and drug therapy targeted to block oncogenic signal pathways. The future outlook for such new techniques is also examined. The cutting-edge information presented in this book is beneficial to all scientists, from students to senior researchers or oncologists, involved in developing cancer therapeutics or in treating cancer patients.
