Clinical experience with Ixoten (trofosfamide), a derivative of cyclophosphamide, is reported in 29 patients with malignant lymphomas. Daily doses of 150-300 mg p.o. and 6.000-200.000 mg total dose respectively, resulted in an 80% complete or partial remission. In addition to a dose dependent haematotoxicity, other side effects (gastrointestinal and/or hair loss) were almost negligible.

Cancer Therapies

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...

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...
