Cancer gene therapy

David T. Curiel

"In Cancer Gene Therapy, leading basic and clinical oncologists provide a complete introduction and guide to the latest developments in cancer gene therapy - from bench to beside. In their discussions, the authors comprehensively review the anticancer genes and gene delivery methods currently available for cancer gene therapy, including the transfer of genetic material into the cancer cells, stimulation of the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, and the targeting of the nonmalignant stromal cells that support their growth. They also thoroughly examine the advantages and limitations of the different therapies and detail strategies to overcome obstacles to their clinical implementation."--BOOK JACKET.
