Description

Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy in several immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer and others). Despite its clinical success, treatment with MTX often causes toxicity, dose reduction or treatment cessation. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the pharmacology, clinical uses and adverse effects of methotrexate.
