Opis: Towards Individualized Therapy For Multiple Myeloma - Gerrard Teoh, G Teoh

This very provocative book takes the reader on a 'think-out-of-the-box' journey through the development of a treatment regimen for multiple myeloma called 'dtZ'. It is a firsthand account of how more than 50 patients with myeloma were given a non-toxic, precisely-targeted, anti-cancer treatment that was specifically adapted to their individual cancers. These Individualized Anti-Cancer Targeted Therapies (smart bombs) have produced amongst the best responses as well as survival rates for myeloma.Accordingly, the author argues that some patients might even have been 'cured' of their cancers. The concepts and logic behind 'dtZ' are carefully presented in simple language so that both doctors and patients can easily understand them. Numerous tables and figures are provided, together with clear and simple explanations in this book. This book is a valuable resource for all patients with myeloma who want to get the most out of their treatment by individualizing treatment to suit their needs, particularly for patients who have just been diagnosed with myeloma and who are taking that very important first step in their treatment. It is also a useful guide for doctors, nurses and researchers who treat and/or study myeloma.Diagnostic Dilemmas; Shortcomings of Modern-Day Clinical Trials; Individualizing Core Parameters; Patient Compliance; Multiple Myeloma; Current Treatment; Future Opportunities.
