Chemotherapy has made a dramatic difference to improved survival
in patients with cancer. However, not all patients respond and some
experience serious side effects.
"Pharmacogenetics: Making cancer treatment safer and more
effective" is an up to date summary of the exciting new field of
how genetic testing can tailor more effective prescription in
oncology.
It is targeted at oncologists and professionals involved in the
treatment of patients with cancer. It provides a core background in
genetics and pharmacological principles before providing chapters
from acknowledged experts in the field on genetic tests in specific
cancer types, including breast, bowel and lung cancer. Clinical
cases are used to illustrate the practical application of this
knowledge.
Chapters on ethics, health economics and the industry aspects of
pharmacogenetics set out the challenges and opportunities afforded
by this new science.
