Treatment of advanced plasma cell myeloma with weekly cyclophosphamide and alternate-day prednisone
Abstract:
Three of five patients with refractory myeloma were successfully palliated using a simple and relatively nontoxic regimen consisting of weekly cyclophosphamide in combination with alternate-day oral prednisone. Control of advanced disease in some patients may be associated with more frequent scheduling of known active drugs, even though these drugs, either alone or in combination, may not be effective when given at standard intervals of 4--6 weeks.

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.

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.
