Cancer Therapies

10.6K
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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.1K
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...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

8.8K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Summary

Radioactive iodine-131 (131I) therapy is standard for differentiated thyroid cancer. This study explores hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) as a novel approach for undifferentiated thyroid cancer, aiming to improve outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiotherapy
  • Nuclear Medicine

Context:

  • Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is effectively treated with radioactive iodine-131 (131I) therapy.
  • External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) has historically shown limited survival benefits for thyroid cancer despite local control.
  • Advancements in radiotherapy techniques (3D-CRT, IMRT) aim to reduce adverse effects and enhance efficacy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the preliminary outcomes of hypofractionated radiotherapy for undifferentiated thyroid cancer (UTC).
  • To assess the potential of advanced radiotherapy techniques in managing challenging thyroid cancer cases.

Summary:

  • Radioactive 131I therapy has been a cornerstone for differentiated thyroid cancer since the 1940s.
  • External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) was less favored due to side effects, but newer techniques like 3D-radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are improving its application.
  • Undifferentiated thyroid cancer (UTC) has a poor prognosis, with rare long-term survival achieved through multimodality therapy.

Impact:

  • Preliminary results of hypofractionated radiotherapy for UTC are presented.
  • This research may offer new insights into optimizing radiotherapy for aggressive thyroid cancer subtypes.
  • Potential for improved treatment strategies for patients with undifferentiated thyroid cancer.
