Chemotherapy : Proceedings of the 7th International Congress of Pharmacology, Paris, 1978

Advances in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 10: Chemotherapy covers the proceedings of the 7th International Congress of Pharmacology. The title presents papers that detail the advancement of pharmacological research in chemotherapy. The text first covers the chemotherapy of schistosomiasis. Next, the selection presents the trends in malaria and cancer chemotherapy, along with their pharmacological research. The text also details the use of cell cultures as tools in pharmacological investigations. The book will be of great interest to pharmacologists and oncologists.
