Présentation en anglais

Cancer drugs

A practical approach to drugs available to us

What do doxorubicin and adriamycin have in common ? Why can the
indications for platinum compounds vary so much ? Have monoclonal
antibodies ousted cytotoxic drugs ? What is an anticancer antibiotic ?

The aim of this book is to answer these questions, and all those that
arise from being in contact with cancer drugs. To do this, we first need
to classify each one in relation to the others. Each product is then
described, detailing its official indications, as validated by its
marketing license, then its dose, its mode of administration and the
precautions that need to be taken when using it, any eventual
resistance it may generate, and finally, the side effects it may cause.

Although cancer treatments evolve more or less on a daily basis, this
book hopes to enable the public, specialised or not, to navigate more
easily through the maze of the various drug classes.
