The Impact of Tumor Biology on Cancer Treatment and Multidisciplinary Strategies
This book provides an overview of the fundamentals of tumor biology and the influence of various biologic factors, including inhomogeneity of cancer cells, microenvironment, and host factors, on the design of therapeutic strategies and the outcome of established and emerging treatments. Particular a...
