      Treatment Landscape of Targeted Therapies in Oncology: Challenges and Opportunities provides up-to-date knowledge on antitumor-targeted therapies and immunotherapy. The book's chapters are written by researchers dynamically working/focusing on cancer treatment. The content is designed to help those who are new to the field (beginners) and various specialized scientists and researchers involved in cancer research. For decades, the hallmark of cancer treatment has been conventional chemotherapy. But with the rapid increase in our understanding of the immune system, more and more small molecules, peptides, recombinant antibodies, vaccines and cellular therapeutic modalities are being applied to manipulate the immune response for cancer treatment.
