Ameloblastic sarcoma: pathogenesis and treatment with chemotherapy
Cancer
|April 1, 1976
Abstract:
A recurrent tumor in a young male demonstrates the progression of an ameloblastic fibroma to an ameloblastic sarcoma. Chemotherapy with Actinomycin D, Vincristine, and Cytoxan produced a complete response without evidence of recurrence 4 years after initiation of chemotherapy. The patient developed an aggressive malignant melanoma 1 year after all chemotherapy was discontinued.

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

02:57Targeted Cancer Therapies
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
