Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Molecular techniques in recent years have produced many recombinant factors that are able to modulate the immune system, and this has stimulated considerable interest in the use of these for immunotherapy. In the clinical area it is becoming clear that immunotherapy has a place in the treatment of cancer for certain patients. DNA technology has resulted in the new discipline of molecular immunology and allowed better insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the immune response to tumours. Edited by a medical oncologist from the Royal Marsden Hospital and an immunopathologist from St. George?s Hospital, who have worked together for many years, this timely publication will provide clinicians with the background to the theoretical basis for the main immunotherapeutic approaches to cancer therapy currently in practice, and a comprehensive description of clinical trials that have been undertaken. All oncologists, medical radiation and surgical, as well as immunologists working in the field, will find this book important and informative reading.
