Overview

For patients with cancers that are not cured by surgery or radiation, chemotherapy often represents the best hope for treatment. While chemotherapy is highly effective for some cancers, it is less effective for others.

Researchers in the Developmental Therapeutics Program are developing new, more effective cancer treatments. In many cases, these treatments also have fewer side effects than standard therapies.
