Opis

Discusses about microspheres and regional cancer therapy. This book demonstrates the utility of microsphere-based strategies in the treatment of localized solid tumors (in liver) not amenable to surgery and as a component of strategies for treatment of disseminated disease. It is suitable for clinicians in pharmaceutics, and surgical oncology.
