Metastasis of Prostate Cancer
Samenvatting
This volume brings together the key research issues in clinical and laboratory science relating to metastasis in prostate cancer. Coverage ranges from the most fundamental aspects of the molecular biology of metastasis, to the patient in the clinic. The therapeutic approaches range from conventional drug design to immunogene therapy. Prostate cancer is an area of intense research effort, and this book provides a window on contemporary research in this important area.
