Molecular medicine is increasing our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer and is
providing new targets for therapeutic intervention. But at present we do not have appropriate
ways to deliver these agents to the tumor, and without this ability their potential will not be
realized. Jain proposes a three-part strategy for overcoming this obstacle to successful
treatment of tumors.
