Oncostatic-antibody complexes in chemotherapy
Abstract:
Cancer-chemotherapeutic agents are not selective in their action against cancer cells. An approach to increasing the efficacy of currently available antitumor drugs is the binding of selected chemotherapeutic agents to antibodies that do posses specific affinity for the tumor cells. In this short review consideration is given to some aspects of induction of antitumor antibodies, techniques for binding of various chemotherapeutic agents to antibodies, immunochemotherapy with oncostatic-antibody complexes and their mode of action, and future prospects of this form of therapy.

Cancer Therapies
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...
