Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

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...

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.

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Treatment Strategies

271
Treatment strategies for poisoning are a critical aspect of emergency medicine, focusing on preventing the absorption of toxins and enhancing their elimination. When a poisoning incident occurs, the first response is to halt exposure and decontaminate the patient, particularly through gastrointestinal (GI) methods if the poison was ingested.Gastrointestinal Decontamination Techniques:Activated charcoal is the cornerstone of GI decontamination. It works through adsorption, binding the toxin to...

Drug Toxicity: Overview01:00

Drug Toxicity: Overview

291
Drug toxicity quantifies the harm a compound causes to an organism, varying by dose and potentially impacting whole systems or specific organs like the liver. Toxic reactions may arise from venomous insect or spider bites, with effects ranging from mild symptoms to severe outcomes such as brain damage or death. Common forms of acute poisoning include ethanol intoxication and overdose of pain or fever medications, with substances like GHB and heroin being particularly lethal at doses close to...

Cancer Therapies

8.2K
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...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists01:27

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

920
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Adjuvant endocrine therapy, including tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors, significantly improves survival in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
  • Poor adherence and persistence with these therapies are common due to side effects impacting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review predictors of toxicity from adjuvant endocrine therapy.
  • To explore the potential of toxicity as a biomarker for treatment response.
  • To discuss research efforts in managing side effects for improved adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analyses to identify toxicity predictors.
  • Review of existing literature on side effect management and toxicity as a biomarker.
  • Synthesis of research findings on improving adherence and persistence.

Main Results:

  • Side effects of endocrine therapy negatively affect patient quality of life and adherence.
  • Toxicity development may serve as a biomarker for better treatment response.
  • Research into side effect management is ongoing to improve adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Despite advances, challenges remain in providing personalized endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
  • Managing side effects is crucial for enhancing patient adherence and treatment efficacy.
  • Further research is needed to optimize personalized treatment strategies.
