Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.8K
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...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.1K
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 Cancers

3.4K
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

7.9K
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...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

644
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.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunotherapy

    Background:

    • Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment has seen limited progress over decades.
    • There is a critical need for novel therapeutic strategies in SCLC.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibition in SCLC.
    • To explore emerging therapeutic options for second- or later-line treatment in SCLC.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of long-term data from the KEYNOTE-604 trial.
    • Review of emerging clinical trial data for bispecific T-cell engagers and combination therapies.

    Main Results:

    • Long-term data from KEYNOTE-604 demonstrate durable benefit with upfront immune checkpoint inhibition.
    • Bispecific T-cell engagers and other combination therapies show potential in later-line settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Upfront immune checkpoint inhibition is a supported strategy for durable benefit in SCLC.
    • Novel agents like bispecific T-cell engagers offer new avenues for patients requiring second- or later-line SCLC therapy.
