Therapy Testing in a Spheroid-based 3D Cell Culture Model for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Published on: April 20, 2018
Abstract:
Based on a consideration of biochemical mechanisms, rational methods for the prevention of cancer and for its positive regression are presented. It is demonstrated that the means employed are fundamentally opposed so that if the preventive method were to be used after the onset of cancer, it would only accelerate its development. The solution to these subtle questions rests notably on the established fact that a spontaneous cancer is nothing else but a phenomenon of anti-ageing. Thus, it is evident that all living beings that attain maximal longevity would necessarily die of cancer. Nevertheless, the malignant tumour is, from a certain aspect, hereditarily linked, since its early appearance in young children can only be explained by premature tissue ageing which is itself genetically derived.

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...

Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
