The traditional approaches to treat various cancers include
chemotherapy, radiation and/or hormonal therapy. While these
therapies continue to be effective in large part, they are not
selective and highly toxic. There have been encouraging results in
alternative therapeutic approach called antibody-mediated
anti-cancer therapy, which is less toxic, more selective, and can
also reverse drug/radiation resistance. Monoclonal antibodies or
mAbs can be used to destroy malignant tumor cells and prevent tumor
growth by blocking specific cell receptors. mAbs can bind only to
cancer cell-specific antigens and induce an immunological response
against the target cancer cell. The book covers the common and
unique features of mAbs agains various cancer, gives the latest
developments on the molecular, biochemical and genetic mechanisms
of resistance by various mAbs, as well as discuss novel mAbs to
overcome resistance.
