Emerging Cancer Therapy: Microbial Approaches and Biotechnological Tools (Wiley Series in Biotechnology and Bioengineering)

Cancer therapy remains a challenge despite the huge changes and improvements we have made in the scientific and engineering tools that we use. Emerging Cancer Therapy explores the potential and actual uses of live bacteria or their products in the treatment of cancer. Providing a state–of–the–art overview of this field, this book breaks new ground in emerging cancer treatment modalities. Microbes that are currently and can potentially be used therapeutically and their products are reviewed in detail, and studies involving clinical trials and evaluation with these anticancer agents are addressed.
