Summary
-
Cancer is a growing problem world wide because of the
increasing ageing population in the western world and
the increasing exposure in the developed world to life-style
changes e.g. tobacco and diet.
-
Advances in genomics and proteomics are helping us to
better understand how cancers originate and develop and
provide pointers for more effective treatment.
-
The combination of clinical, genomic, and proteomic
data offers a major opportunity to pharmacologists of
the 21st century to develop more effective cancer treatments
- the era of pharmacogenomics.
-
Cancer is still a major global disease, a major killer
and for many cancers there is no effective treatment.
