Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.5K
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...

Cancer Therapies

7.6K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Natural antioxidants combat oxidative stress in liver disease but face bioavailability issues. Nano-drug delivery systems enhance their efficacy for treating liver cancer by improving delivery and stability.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Nanomedicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Oxidative stress drives chronic liver diseases and hepatocarcinogenesis.
  • Natural antioxidants neutralize free radicals, crucial for treating liver diseases.
  • Poor bioavailability and metabolic stability limit natural antioxidant efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in nano-formulations of natural antioxidants for liver cancer treatment.
  • To highlight the potential of these nanomedicines in overcoming therapeutic limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature on nano-formulations of natural antioxidants.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on delivery systems for liver cancer therapy.

Main Results:
