Cancer Therapies

7.8K
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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

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 Vaccines

457
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Oncology

Background:

  • Multidisciplinary evaluation is crucial for optimal treatment of early-stage glottic cancer, offering choices between surgery and radiation therapy.
  • Current standard radiation therapy involves three-dimensional opposed lateral fields encompassing the entire larynx.
  • Evolving radiation techniques prompt investigations into altered doses and treatment volumes for improved efficacy and reduced toxicity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role of multidisciplinary assessment in early-stage glottic cancer treatment planning.
  • To review the standard of care for radiation therapy in early-stage glottic cancer.
  • To discuss the potential and limitations of advanced radiation techniques in this context.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current treatment guidelines and literature for early-stage glottic cancer.
  • Analysis of the principles behind standard three-dimensional radiation therapy.
  • Discussion of emerging techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy and single-vocal cord irradiation.

Main Results:

  • Multidisciplinary evaluation effectively guides treatment decisions for early-stage glottic cancer.
  • Standard radiation therapy utilizes whole-larynx irradiation with 3D opposed lateral fields.
  • Advanced techniques show promise but are not yet established as standard care.

Conclusions:

  • Optimal treatment for early-stage glottic cancer is determined through multidisciplinary evaluation.
  • Standard radiation therapy involves comprehensive laryngeal irradiation.
  • Advanced radiation techniques, including stereotactic body radiation therapy and single-vocal cord irradiation, require further investigation in clinical trials to establish safety and efficacy.
