摘要: Conventional chemotherapy regimens have limited impact against most solid tumors. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis cancer enabled development new, rationally designed, molecularly targeted antitumor agents. These agents interact with receptors, ligands, signaling molecules, or genes that play a pivotal role tumor transformation and growth, they can inhibit cell proliferation, induce programmed death, angiogenesis, enhance immune response.
