Abstract:
The SMR Symposium Cancer Treatments for the New Millennium was held on March 9, 2006, at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London. The conference program brought together an international line-up of speakers representing academia, biotech and large pharma to discuss the development status of a number of new innovative treatments for the treatment or prevention of cancer. Presentations also focused on how new technologies are being applied to the design of the next generation of cancer drugs and the fundamental biological challenges that must be addressed in attempting to discover effective new treatments.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
