The textbook "Platinum and Other Metal Coordination Compounds in Cancer Chemotherapy" by Stephen B. Howell provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of platinum and other metal coordination compounds in cancer chemotherapy. It examines how DNA repair mechanisms contribute to the resistance of tumor cells to platinum compounds and what synergistic effects can be achieved through the combination of chemotherapeutics and repair inhibitors. The research findings compiled in this book are based on extensive studies and clinical trials that highlight the significance of DNA damage and its repair in the treatment of cancer. The insights could potentially have clinical relevance and open new approaches for chemotherapy.
