A total of 1372 lymphoma patients (980 newly diagnosed and 392 seen in cellular therapy clinic) were screened for Strongyloides serology, detecting IgG in 80 (6%) patients. Only one out of 80 (1.25%) patients diagnosed and treated with ivermectin for Strongyloides developed disseminated strongyloidiasis following chemotherapy treatments, supporting routine screening and prophylaxis in lymphoma patients.

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...
