Breast Cancer Therapeutics: How Innovation Is Shaping Future Therapies
Drug and Market Development Publishing, Jan 2006, Pages: 166
The Breast Cancer Therapeutics Report seeks to explore and systematically analyze both drug targets and associated therapeutics in current clinical development relating to breast cancer. Four major classes of breast cancer therapeutics are a particular focus - endocrine therapy, 'innovative' therapy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Several of the mainstream technologies utilized in breast cancer drug discovery are explored. Additionally, the therapeutic and market potential of each therapy type is investigated. This Report includes an up to date review of pipeline and market developments in the breast cancer therapeutics field.
