Which include also general approaches of chemotherapeutics
For which type of cancer?
There are several websites giving a general introduction to chemotherapy; e.g.
http://www.cancer.net/navigating-cancer-care/how-cancer-treated/chemotherapy
http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/treatmenttypes/chemotherapy/chemotherapy-landing
http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/chemotherapy
Why don't you try to find some information yourself and then ask specific questions?
@ Sabine,
i want to have some review article for chemotherapeutic aproches that have been performed for cancer in general, as we can find review articles for other therapeutic modalities like radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy.just like that
The principles of cancer treatment by chemotherapy

Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology will start a review series (co-edited by Eric Raymond and myself) exactly focusing on this subject. Each month a new review will be published but some are already on line, see: http://link.springer.com/journal/280/topicalCollection/AC_7bf40dc8837b56152996e9736f0e4018/page/1
I'd say a good starting point may be any Clinical Oncology Manual, such as the one edited by Casciato and Territo, or the Manual Spiral Series, the NCI used printing an Oncology Manual, and from the references in these books you can go to further more specialized readings; de Vita et al Principles of Oncology is very good, but also very big, thousands of pages. Good luck, + salut
This is quite old, but sometimes reviewing early evidence gives an overall image about the development of a subject:
'The Pharmacological Basis of cancer Chemotherapy'. Seminars in Oncology; R L Capizzi, Invited Editor. (Around 1977)
