title: Cytodifferentiation: a novel approach to cancer treatment and prevention.
abstract: Cytodifferentiation therapy promises to control cancer growth and progression with less serious side effects than cytotoxic chemotherapy. Despite recent progress, the molecular mechanisms regulating the differentiation of many cell types are still obscure and the number of active cytodifferentiating agents is limited. Rational ways to develop these types of agents are necessary.
