Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.0K
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...

Cancer 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...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

2.5K
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Science
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Bone sarcomas are diverse tumors originating from mesenchymal stem cells.
  • Key subtypes include osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma.
  • These cancers thrive in a specific microenvironment, influenced by the 'seed and soil theory'.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review emerging targeted therapies for bone sarcomas.
  • To provide an overview from basic science to clinical applications.
  • To highlight novel approaches targeting tumor cells and their microenvironment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent advancements in bone sarcoma therapy.
  • Analysis of targeted therapies acting on signaling and metabolic pathways.
  • Assessment of strategies targeting the tumor niche and cancer cells.

Main Results:

  • New therapeutic strategies have emerged in the past decade.
  • Targeted therapies aim to disrupt cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and drug resistance.
  • Approaches focus on both tumor cells and their supportive microenvironment.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted therapies represent a significant advancement in bone sarcoma treatment.
  • These therapies offer potential to improve outcomes for patients, particularly children and adolescents.
  • Further research is crucial for clinical translation and application.
