Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.6K
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...

Cancer Therapies

9.7K
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...

Cancer Prevention

7.5K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

590
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.1K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Cancer

53.3K
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:

  • Oncology
  • Cancer Staging
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Oral cavity cancers represent a significant global health challenge.
  • Accurate staging is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis in oral cancer.
  • Previous staging systems may not fully reflect the disease's complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review the rationale behind the revised staging of oral cavity cancers.
  • To analyze the impact of new knowledge on cancer staging.
  • To discuss the implications of the 8th edition AJCC/UICC TNM staging manual.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of recent oral cancer studies.
  • Analysis of multi-institutional outcome data.
  • Critical appraisal of the 8th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM staging manual.

Main Results:

  • The oral cavity cancer staging system has been updated to incorporate new insights into disease behavior.
  • The 8th edition AJCC/UICC TNM manual reflects advancements in understanding oral cancer biology.
  • Revised staging aims to improve prognostic accuracy and treatment stratification.

Conclusions:

  • The updated staging system for oral cavity cancers provides a more refined framework for clinical practice.
  • Understanding the rationale for these changes is essential for oncologists and researchers.
  • Future research should focus on validating the impact of the new staging system on patient outcomes.
