Summary Introduction

To describe: The likely outcome of the drug on the cancerous cell

Introduction: Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division by altering microtubule dynamics. The microtubule target agents help in the treatment of cancerous cells.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The effectsof a drug treatment on tumor cells in patients.

Introduction: Cancer cells are the abnormal mass of the growing cells under non-regulated conditions. These cells form a solid tumor. The shape, size, texture of the nucleus and protein composition of the cells alter that differentiate them from the healthy cells.
