概括
在患有三阴性乳腺癌 (TNBC) 的老年患者中,无环素化疗显示出相似的生存率,但与基于环素的疗法相比,毒性显著降低. 这表明,对于老年TNBC患者来说,这是一种更安全的治疗选择.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 老年医学 老年医学
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- 三重阴性乳腺癌 (TNBC) 治疗通常涉及以环素 (AB) 为基础的化疗.
- 与AB疗法相关的心脏毒性是一个重大问题,特别是在老年患者中.
- 对这一群体来说,评估替代辅助化疗策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了追溯地比较早期TNBC接受AB的老年患者与无环素 (AF) 辅助化疗之间的生存和毒性结果.
- 为了确定老年TNBC患者是否可以在不影响生存的情况下避免与 antracycline 相关的毒性.
主要方法:
- 从SUCCESS A和C研究中分析了221名65岁以上的TNBC女性.
- 对接受AB (甲-epirubicin-cyclophosphamide,其次是dcetaxel) 或AF (docetaxel-cyclophosphamide) 辅助化疗的患者进行比较.
- 对临床病理学参数,生存结果 (总体,无侵袭性疾病,乳腺癌特异性,远程无疾病) 和不良事件的统计分析.
主要成果:
- 在AB和AF组之间没有观察到临床病理学参数或生存率的显著差异.
- 在接受AB化疗的老年患者中,与接受AF化疗 (50.6%) 的老年患者相比,发生3级或4级不良事件的比率显著更高 (75.2%).
结论:
- 在老年TNBC患者中,无甲素化疗与相似的生存率和降低毒性相比,基于甲素的疗法有关.
- 进一步的随机对照试验是有必要的,以验证这些发现,并确认AF方案的有效性在这个人群.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
151
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Targeted Cancer Therapies
7.4K
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.

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...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
137
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists
184
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.
