Cancer is a health problem that together with heart diseases, diabetics and obesity constitutes one of the major causes of mortality at developed countries.
The term cancer encompasses more than 100 diseases affecting nearly every part of the body, and all are potentially life-threatening. Among these, metastatic cancers are the most aggressive ones that are indeed the main responsible for the high mortality rates observed for this disease.
Cancer therapy unquestionably includes chemotherapy. Radiation, surgery or immunotherapy can also be used. A selective and wide-range anticancer agent, that might target the primary tumour and metastases, remains the Holy Grail for chemotherapy.
