Human tumour xenografts in anticancer drug development /

This monograph covers the latest information on the role of human tumour xenografts in the development of anticancer drugs. This model has been used in various experimental studies on human tumour morphology, biology, biochemistry and antitumour therapy. Due to the fact that each individual tumour l...
