IBC's international Conference on Novel Therapeutic Proteins for Oncology (drug discovery and development).
It is estimated that 564,800 Americans will die of cancer in 1998. Even though earlier detection and healthier lifestyles may have led to some improvements in cancer mortality, new agents are urgently needed to treat incurable cancers. At the recent International Conference on Novel Therapeutic Proteins for Oncology, a wide range of new agents and strategies for targeting tumour cells were discussed. Many of these will be reviewed here.
