  • Title: Monoclonal antibodies for medical oncology: a few critical perspectives.
    Author: Belda-Iniesta C, Ibáñez de Cáceres I, de Castro J.
    Journal: Clin Transl Oncol; 2011 Feb; 13(2):84-7. PubMed ID: 21324795.
    Abstract:
    Incorporation of antibodies as weapons for cancer therapy has meant a turning point in the survival, clinical and radiological response of many oncology patients. These drugs are effective, well designed missiles that either alone or in combination with chemotherapy are unavoidable weapons for breast, lung and colon cancer as well as for haematological tumours. In addition, incoming monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and folder-like proteins will be incorporated into clinical practice in the near future. This review aims to discuss a few imminent indications of current mAbs that are used for solid tumours and to briefly introduce future mAbs to the reader.
