Recent progress in targeting cancer

Zoya N Demidenko et al. Aging (Albany NY). 2011 Dec.

Abstract

In recent years, numerous new targets have been identified and new experimental therapeutics have been developed. Importantly, existing non-cancer drugs found novel use in cancer therapy. And even more importantly, new original therapeutic strategies to increase potency, selectivity and decrease detrimental side effects have been evaluated. Here we review some recent advances in targeting cancer.
