epigenomic hormonal and immunotherapeutic agents this reference
covers the staggering advances in cancer pharmacology that are
propelling new standards of care for common and uncommon
malignancies. Beautifully illustrated throughout each chapter
contains visually engaging figures detailing the tumor
microenvironment chemical structures of agents pharmacodynamics
pharmacokinetics pharmacogenomic and molecular properties of the
various agents and their mechanisms of action. As the first
illustrated book of its kind this highly visual text uses a uniform
approach to each cancer drug class and agent presented in the book
and covers alkylating agents antimetabolites antimitotics
epigenetic modulators hormonal agents targeted therapies monoclonal

digest format and replete with detailed images clinical pearls and
end of chapter Q&As this evidence-based reference presents all
major classes agents targets and approaches to cancer
pharmacotherapy.
