Publisher's Synopsis
The proceedings of the first major symposium on campothecins, this volume highlights the importance of campothecins as chemotherapeutic agents and emphasizes the use of the xenograft model in research in chemotherapeutics. The xenograft model has been shown to be important both for assessing how human tumors grow in vivo and for providing an experimental system for testing new chemotherapeutic agents. This volume covers all aspects of this promising class of anticancer agents - from basic science to clinical use - and should be of interest to a wide range of research scientists and clinicians.
