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...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration01:21

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

4.8K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

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...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

2.3K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.3K
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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.9K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Bone Cancer Research

Background:

  • Chemotherapy studies for bone sarcomas predominantly focus on pediatric populations.
  • Increasing age is recognized as a negative prognostic factor in pediatric bone sarcoma trials.
  • Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma affect both pediatric and adult populations, while chondrosarcoma and giant cell tumors are more common in adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current knowledge on treating bone cancers in adults.
  • To present the experience of the adult Sarcoma Medical Oncology group at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in treating adult bone cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing chemotherapy studies for bone sarcomas.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes and experiences from a specialized adult sarcoma group.

Main Results:

  • Limited data exists specifically for adult bone sarcoma chemotherapy regimens.
  • Adult bone cancers like chondrosarcoma and giant cell tumors require distinct treatment considerations.
  • The MD Anderson Cancer Center's adult Sarcoma Medical Oncology group has experience in managing these adult bone cancers.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need for more research and tailored chemotherapy regimens for adult bone sarcoma patients.
  • Adult-specific clinical trials are essential to improve treatment outcomes for bone cancers in this demographic.
  • Integrating adult-focused data and clinical experience is crucial for advancing the care of bone cancers in adults.
