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 Therapies02:57

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
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Hepatobiliary Medicine

Background:

  • Radiotherapy for liver tumors has advanced from palliative to curative intent.
  • Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) enables precise tumor targeting while sparing healthy liver tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current applications of radiotherapy for hepatic tumors.
  • To highlight advancements in radiotherapy techniques for liver cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on SBRT and other advanced radiotherapy modalities for hepatic tumors.
  • Discussion of combined treatment approaches and emerging technologies.

Main Results:

  • SBRT is effective for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases when surgery/ablation are contraindicated, achieving high response rates.
  • Combined SBRT with transarterial chemoembolization enhances tumor response.
  • New techniques like MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy and proton beam therapy show promise for improved precision and reduced toxicity.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced radiotherapy, particularly SBRT, represents a significant improvement in managing hepatic tumors.
  • Emerging technologies offer further potential to enhance efficacy and patient outcomes in liver cancer treatment.
  • Ongoing research is crucial for refining radiotherapy strategies for liver tumors.
