Cancer Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy: Cancer Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy, Volume TBD (ePub)

Chemotherapy Sensitizing Agents for Prostate Cancer introduces and summarizes novel combinatorial approaches for prostate cancer treatment that could be utilized in the clinic in the future. It describes the use of novel agents that when combined with current treatments for resistant prostate cancer results in clinical response and reversal of resistance. The book provides novel information on cancer stem cell and neuroendocrine targeting agents that could be utilized in preclinical and clinical research for prostate cancer therapeutics. Especially, the emergence of cancer stem cells, the most resistant cells in the tumor, and CSC targeting agents are discussed as novel combination therapies along with hormonal therapies and chemotherapeutic agents. Other targetable processes discussed include epigenetics modulators, DNA damage and use of RNAi and other small RNAs in the treatment of advance stage prostate cancer. This book is a valuable source for research scientists, medical oncologists and other members of biomedical field who are interested in novel combination therapies for prostate cancer.Describes the potential use of novel sensitizing agents for prostate cancer to overcome treatment resistanceBrings a summarizing figure in each chapter to give an overview of the research topic, in addition to descriptive figures and tablesPresents in flowcharts all novel and complex techniques used in order to illustrate the step-by-step guidelines for the reader
