Inhalt:
The topic of ‘Impact of genetic targets on cancer therapy’ has reviews that each focuses on a specific tumor type, review recent knowledge about molecular pathogenesis in general and especially as it impacts response to therapy. The topic is aimed to provide a forum for publication of original peer-reviewed short communications, full-length research and review articles on new research findings and developments in cancer therapies. As the field is highly important it requires co-operation between research communities from all over the world to share their knowledge and experience in order to build a comprehensive knowledge on genetic targets on different cancer therapies. Each chapter also includes a discussion of the impact of the tumor microenvironment and cancer stem cells and cover current knowledge in this area as it pertains to the disease, including emerging therapy targeting the microenvironment and/or cancer stem cells
