Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Clinical Management

Background:

  • Multidisciplinary clinics (MDCs) are established at high-volume centers to enhance breast cancer patient care.
  • This model involves patients seeing multiple subspecialists in a single visit.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the experience and impact of a multidisciplinary clinic (MDC) for breast cancer care.
  • To assess the efficiency of the MDC model in optimizing patient treatment timelines.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 492 patients with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer.
  • Data collected from January 1, 2020, to September 1, 2022.
  • Comparison of time intervals to intervention for patients managed within the MDC.

Main Results:

  • Patients in the MDC experienced a 3-day reduction from biopsy to clinic visit.
  • A 5-day decrease was observed in the time from diagnosis to neoadjuvant chemotherapy initiation.
  • The time from surgery clinic visit to operation was reduced by 21 days.

Conclusions:

  • The multidisciplinary clinic (MDC) model demonstrates a significant decrease in time to intervention for breast cancer patients.
  • Early experience suggests this approach optimizes breast cancer care pathways.
  • Further evaluation is warranted to confirm long-term benefits.
