Novel Approaches in Metronomic Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer Treatment

This book provides the latest research and developments in the field of metronomic chemotherapy for breast cancer. It presents the principles and mechanisms of metronomic chemotherapy, preclinical and clinical studies, and the latest developments in drug delivery systems and nanoformulations. The clinical pharmacology of metronomic chemotherapy, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics, pharmacoeconomics, and adverse drug reactions, are also examined.

Key Features:

• Introduces metronomics therapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of breast cancer
• Explores the potential of metronomics in terms of personalized chemotherapy
• Present pharmacological bases of metronomic chemotherapy
• Covers the latest developments in drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and nano formulations
• Discusses antiangiogenic effects and the impact of metronomics on immunity
