ESMO Handbook of Targeted Therapies and Precision Oncology (Original PDF from Publisher)

by Iwona Lugowska, Sandra Misale, Raffaele Califano, John BAG Haanen

Better understanding of the molecular biology of several tumour types has driven the discovery of oncogenic pathways or molecular aberrations that underpin tumour growth and survival. These pathways and oncogenic drivers can now be targeted with novel agents, improving patients’ survival and quality of life. Identification of potential biomarkers to guide personalised therapy for cancer patients is of utmost importance.

In this complex landscape, continued collaboration between pre-clinical and clinical researchers will bring increased knowledge of tumour evolution and the discovery of more effective molecularly driven treatments.

The ESMO Handbook of Targeted Therapies and Precision Oncology brings together specialists in the field of precision medicine, who have shared their knowledge and given their insights on this broad topic, providing you with a solid base to understand this field from basic science to clinical application.
