Description for DNA Repair in Cancer Therapy
Hardback. Covers the evidence that impaired expression/activity of at least some of the DNA repair proteins account for tumor cell resistance to particular therapeutic agents. This book summarizes reviews covering developments that have potential for translational and clinical applications and focuses on the translational aspect of DNA repair in the clinic. Editor(s): Panasci, Lawrence C.; Alaoui-Jamali, Moulay A. Series: Cancer Drug Discovery and Development. Num Pages: 363 pages, 50 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1550.
A comprehensive review of the recent developments in DNA repair that have potential for translational and clinical applications. The authors explain in detail the various mechanisms by which cancer cells can circumvent anticancer therapy and limits its usefulness in patients. They also review the clinical impact of such novel inhibitors of DNA repair mechanisms as methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase. Also examined are inhibitors of other DNA repair enzymes such as PARP and DNA-PK, now under development and close to clinical trials. The book captures-for both cancer researchers and practicing oncologists dealing with hallmark "relapse" or "drug resistance" phenomena on a daily basis-the many ... Read more
