Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.6K
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...

Tumor Immunotherapy

523
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.

Background:

  • Traditional radiotherapy assumes stable patient anatomy, often necessitating larger margins to account for uncertainties.
  • Anatomical and biological changes during treatment can compromise radiation delivery accuracy and therapeutic efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for healthcare professionals and trainees.
  • To highlight the role of advanced imaging and artificial intelligence in optimizing ART.
  • To discuss current technical and clinical advancements in adaptive radiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on adaptive radiotherapy techniques and applications.
  • Discussion of imaging modalities (CT, MRI, PET) used for anatomical and biological assessment.
  • Exploration of artificial intelligence applications in ART, including segmentation, planning, and quality assurance.

Main Results:

  • Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) enables dynamic treatment plan adjustments based on real-time patient anatomy and biological changes.
  • Integration of AI significantly improves ART efficiency in contour segmentation, treatment planning, and quality assurance.
  • Online ART has become feasible, reducing practitioner workload and enhancing treatment personalization and precision.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptive radiotherapy represents a significant advancement over conventional techniques by personalizing treatment based on individual patient changes.
  • Continued development in imaging technology and AI is crucial for further enhancing the applicability and effectiveness of ART.
  • ART optimizes the therapeutic ratio in cancer treatment, leading to improved patient outcomes.
