Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Cancer Therapies

9.8K
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...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.4K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.6K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Most people living with and beyond cancer (PLWBC) are not physically active, despite exercise benefits.
  • Supervised exercise interventions are needed to improve outcomes for cancer survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of a 16-week supervised, multicomponent exercise program (Onco-Move) on psychophysical fitness in adult cancer survivors.
  • To assess the program's impact on quality of life, sexual function, stress response, nutrition, physical function, body composition, and physiological markers.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot randomized controlled trial involving 40 adult cancer survivors (aged 18-55).
  • Participants randomly assigned to an experimental group (16-week supervised exercise) or a control group.
  • Exercise program conducted three times per week for 16 weeks.

Main Results:

  • Hypothesized improvements in quality of life, sexual function, and stress-response strategies.
  • Expected positive changes in nutrition, physical functions, body composition, inflammation, metabolism, muscle adaptation, and cellular aging.
  • The study aims to validate the Onco-Move program for broader implementation.

Conclusions:

  • The Onco-Move program shows potential as a feasible, effective, and safe non-pharmacological intervention for cancer patients and survivors.
  • Successful validation could lead to implementation in oncological NGOs and hospitals.
  • Exercise is a crucial component of survivorship care, enhancing overall well-being.
