Abstract

A number of clinicians and researchers in many fields have been engaged in research projects to cure cancer patients with chemotherapy. For this purpose, powerful and selective agents will be required. One of the most promising approaches is the application of molecular targeting therapy for cancer patients. The targets of this therapy include oncogene products, growth factor receptors, signal transduction pathways, angiogenetic factors and cell adhesion molecules. To determine the overexpression of target genes, the construction of a reliable gene-screening system is essential. In the following articles, authors will describe the latest results of molecular targeting therapy and gene screening methods for oral cancer. We hope they help improve the treatment of oral cancer in the near future.
