| Abstract
|
:
|
The discovery of the anti-tumour activity of cisplatin in 1965 and its subsequent introduction into clinical trials in 1971 was the catalyst for a major research effort into the potential of metal compounds in cancer therapy. This book draws together information on all metals involved in cancer therapy, including those used in radioisotopes. Throughout an interdisciplinary approach has been taken to reflect the nature of this research. This book will provide an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the role of metals in oncotherapy.
