概括
将中等风险前列腺癌 (PCa) 分为有利的 (FIR) 和不利的 (UIR) 是至关重要的. 结合方式的放射治疗 (CRT) 显示了UIRPCa的优异结果,而不是单独治疗的基疗法 (BT).
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 辐射瘤学 辐射瘤学
- 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科
背景情况:
- 中等风险 (IR) 前列腺癌 (PCa) 是一个异质的群体.
- 将中等风险的PCa分为有利的 (FIR) 和不利的 (UIR) 可以完善风险分层.
- 比较放射治疗方案对于优化治疗策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了验证IR PCa的细分为FIR和UIR类别.
- 为了比较I-LDR-brachytherapy (BT) 单疗法与联合方式放射治疗 (CRT) 在历史队列中的结果.
主要方法:
- 对490名IR PCa患者的回顾性分析,这些患者接受了BT或CRT治疗.
- 患者被分为FIR和UIR组.
- 卡普兰-梅尔分析和考克斯回归被用来评估生化无复发生存率 (BRFS),无转移生存率 (MFS) 和前列腺癌特异性生存率 (CSS).
主要成果:
- 与BT相比,CRT的10年BRFS (94%为FIR,89%为UIR) 优于BT (81%为FIR,37%为UIR).
- 与BT (87%的FIR,78%的UIR) 相比,CRT还显示出优越的10年MFS (94%的FIR,95%的UIR).
- 在UIR患者中,CRT与BT相比显著降低了生化复发和转移 (BRFS的P<0.001,MFS的P=0.011).
结论:
- 将IR PCa分为FIR和UIR的分类在临床上是相关的.
- 在UIR PCa患者中,BT单疗与临床失败的增加有关.
- 对于UIR PCa患者来说,CRT提供了很好的结果.

Targeted Cancer Therapies
7.7K
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.

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.3K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
