New Approaches in the Treatment of Cancer

In the past, cancer was considered a fatal disease due to the poor outcome of the patients and scarce possibilities of treatment. Decades later, a multimodal approach of therapy including surgery, conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy has been applied with irregular success, making it the best known combination for survival at the early diagnostic stage, as well as having created a revolution in the field of oncology. This book describes approaches to be applied for the therapeutic management of patients with cancer.
