Targeted Cancer Therapies

Targeted Cancer Therapies

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 specific...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Breast cancer is a common malignancy.
Tumor infarction and necrosis are uncommon findings.

Observation:

A 71-year-old woman presented with acute breast pain and itching.
Imaging revealed a central left breast mass.
Biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma.

Findings:

Histological examination showed a solid tubular carcinoma with complete tumor necrosis.
Viable carcinoma cells were identified in a paramammary lymph node.

Implications:

This case highlights a rare presentation of breast cancer with extensive necrosis.
It underscores the importance of thorough lymph node examination even with apparent tumor necrosis.
