Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted 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.
There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

Summary

Prostate cancer management is debated, with surgery and radiation offering similar outcomes for localized cases. This review focuses on radiation therapy options and future treatment advancements.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Prostate cancer is a common malignancy, with over 200,000 US diagnoses expected in 2007.
  • Treatment for localized prostate cancer remains controversial, with surgery and radiation therapy showing comparable long-term survival and local control.
  • Treatment decisions are influenced by disease stage, grade, pre-treatment PSA, physician, and patient factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current radiotherapeutic options for prostate cancer treatment.
  • To discuss emerging modalities for future prostate cancer management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on prostate cancer treatment.
  • Examination of various radiation therapy techniques.
