Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy, Molecular Therapeutics, and Immunotherapy

Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy, Molecular Therapies, and Immunotherapy, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular methodologies in the neuro-oncology field. There have been profound changes in the landscape of approaches to brain tumor therapy since the first edition - mainly in the areas of molecular biology and molecular therapeutics, as well as in the maturation of immunotherapy approaches (e.g., vaccines). This second edition has a new primary focus on multidisciplinary molecular methods, broadened to include the latest cutting edge molecular biology, therapeutics, immunobiology, and immunotherapy approaches. This is the first comprehensive book to address the molecular research into these concepts. Provides the most up-to-date information regarding conventional forms of cytotoxic chemotherapy, as well as the basic science and clinical application of molecular therapeutics, for the treatment of brain tumorsBroadly appeals to anyone interested in neuro-oncology and in the treatment of brain tumors with new material and an unprecedented focus on molecular methods in chemotherapyFeatures updated chapters on molecular biology, molecular therapeutics, maturation of immunotherapy approaches, and a focus on multidisciplinary molecular methodsIncludes a new section on the basic science of immunology, as well as thorough updates on the use of vaccine technology and immunotherapy for the treatment of brain tumorsUseful to clinicians interested in a thorough overview of the use of chemotherapy in patients with a broad range of brain tumors, and provides background information to basic scientists and pharmaceutical researchers with an interest in the molecular therapeutics INDICE: SECTION I.
