Targeted Cancer Therapies

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...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Cancer

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Area of Science:

Urology
Oncology
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Rising incidence and prevalence of prostate and kidney cancers in Korea.
Improved survival rates and earlier cancer diagnoses observed.
Shift towards surgical interventions for urologic malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze trends in urologic cancer treatment in Korea.
To evaluate the adoption of advanced surgical techniques.
To identify needs for population-specific management strategies.

Main Methods:

Analysis of treatment trends over the past decade.
Observation of surgical approach adoption (minimally invasive, robot-assisted).
Review of guideline adherence and resource influences on treatment decisions.

Main Results:

Significant increase in surgical treatments for urologic cancers.
Growing utilization of minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgeries.
Treatment decisions influenced by international guidelines and healthcare resource availability.

Conclusions:

Urologic cancer care in Korea is evolving with increased surgical interventions.
Further investigation into racial disparities and development of a national cancer database are crucial.
Tailoring management strategies for the Korean population requires further confirmation.
