From page 93...
... Human cells normally grow and divide as needed and die when they are old, damaged, or overcrowded. Cancerous cells fail to respond to normal signals that regulate cell growth and death, leading to uncontrolled growth.
From page 94...
... New methods of drug delivery to specifically target cancer cells and alternative therapeutic approaches with new molecules and/or physical ablation methods are needed. Additionally, better imaging methods are necessary to identify smaller tumors, assist surgeons in completely and specifically removing cancerous cells, and track response to treatment.
