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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

Summary

KRAS signaling inhibitors slowed pancreatic cancer growth in mice. These findings suggest potential new treatments for pancreatic cancer by targeting KRAS pathways.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Molecular Biology
Genetics

Background:

Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease with limited treatment options.
KRAS signaling pathways are frequently activated in pancreatic cancer.
Targeting KRAS is a promising strategy for cancer therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the efficacy of KRAS signaling inhibitors in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
To determine if inhibiting KRAS can delay tumor development.

Main Methods:

Utilized a genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
Administered drugs designed to inhibit KRAS signaling.
Monitored tumor growth and progression over time.

Main Results:
