The book both gives insights on the general aspects of the role of proteases in cancer, their role as diagnostics and prognostics biomarkers, their impact on chemoresistance, and the future cutting-edge technologies like cocktail therapies and Cyber Knife technology. Given the breadth and depth of information covered in the respective contributions, the book will be immensely useful for researchers in oncology and working to identify targets for drug development.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the book bridges the gap between fundamental and translational research, with applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, making it a thought-provoking read for basic and applied scientists engaged in biomedical research.
