A New Era of Cancer Drugs

A combination of advances in molecular biology, structural biology, and DNA sequencing has led to the development of targeted drugs like Gleevec, which have revolutionized the treatment of certain types of cancer.

Scientists are continuing to apply these techniques to develop additional drugs to target cancers.
