Summary, etc. Written for anyone who encounters cancer patients, cancer data or cancer terminology, but have no more than a passing knowledge of cell biology, A Beginner's Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments provides an understanding of how cancer works and the many new treatments available. Using over 100 original illustrations, this accessible handbook covers the biology and mechanisms behind a huge range of targeted drug treatments, including many new immunotherapies. Dr. Vickers translates a complex and often overwhelming topic into something digestible and easily understood.

Each chapter describes how new cancer drugs work, along with their benefits and limitations.
