Molecularly Targeted Therapy For Childhood Cancer

Each chapter will focus on the known molecular characteristics of specific childhood cancers, focusing on how the molecular ?rivers?can be exploited from a therapeutic standpoint with currently available targeted agents. Where applicable, integration of targeted therapies with conventional cytotoxic agents will be considered. This volume will provide a comprehensive summary of molecular characteristics of childhood cancers, and how the changes involved in transformation provide us with opportunities for developing relatively less toxic, but curative, therapies.
