Targeted Cancer Treatment in Silico Small Molecule Inhibitors and Oncolytic Viruses /

This monograph provides the first in-depth study of how mathematical and computational approaches can be used to advance our understanding of cancer therapies and to improve treatment design and outcome. Over the past century, the search for a cancer cure has been a primary occupation of medical res...
