title: NF-kappa B as a target for cancer therapy.
abstract: NF-kappaB transcription factors and the signaling pathways that activate them play a critical role in cancer development, progression and therapy, and recently have become a focal point for intense drug discovery and development efforts. This article presents a critical review on the different types of inhibitors targeting the NF-kappaB pathway at several stages.
