Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

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...

Individual drug response is influenced by genetic variations in proteins like enzymes and receptors.
Pharmacogenomics, the study of genes influencing drug response, has advanced understanding of drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly cytochrome P450s.
Genetic variants in cytochrome P450 enzymes are common in the UK population, leading to diverse metabolic phenotypes (ultra-rapid, extensive, intermediate, poor).
