Cancer Therapies
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 Vaccines
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...

Tumor Progression
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...

1From M Health Fairview and Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Advanced practitioners received updates on key FDA-approved oncology drugs from late 2021 to late 2022. The review covered novel mechanisms of action, expanded indications, and safety monitoring strategies for solid tumors.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pharmacology
- Clinical Practice
Background:
- The landscape of cancer therapeutics is rapidly evolving with frequent regulatory approvals.
- Advanced practitioners require timely updates on new treatments to optimize patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize significant Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals in oncology from late 2021 to late 2022.
- To discuss the mechanisms of action, clinical utility, and safety profiles of newly approved agents.
- To provide guidance on monitoring strategies for advanced practitioners managing patients with solid tumors.
Main Methods:
- Review of key FDA oncology drug approvals.
- Discussion of unique and expanded mechanisms of action.
- Analysis of safety profiles and monitoring recommendations.
