Abstract

Cancer therapy is dominated by cytotoxic agents that act via mechanisms that damage DNA and activate apoptotic pathways. While cytotoxic agents have been moderately effective to eliminate symptoms and to extend the life span of cancer patients, this approach rarely results in cure. Therefore, cancer related mortality remains as a leading cause of death in most countries.
