Cours de chimiothérapie antitumorale et traitement médical du cancer - XXVIIIe cours de Gustave-Roussy

4th edition of the famed French language IGR lectures on oncology !
For the past 28 years, the chemotherapy and medical treatment of cancer lectures offer an intensive and comprehensive education in cancer treatment strategies and options. Selected for their expertise and educational skills, the speakers explore each year the fundamental guiding principles of medical oncology practices and discuss the latest advances in treatments.
For the fourth year running, these lectures have been compiled into a book which covers a series of presentations given in January 2013. This book aims at making a pragmatic and useful extension of the lectures available to healthcare professionals working in the management of cancer, either as a reminder for more experienced practitioners or as a foundation course for younger members of the medical profession.
The content of the lectures reflects recent breakthroughs in the medical treatments for cancer. The roles of targeted molecular therapies and standard chemotherapy are discussed in detail. The lectures also focus on the development of tailored medicines based on the molecular analysis of tumors.
