متن کاملCardiovascular complications of conventional and targeted adjuvant breast cancer therapy.
Adjuvant therapy has improved the survival of women with early breast cancer (BC). Meta-analyses suggest that anthracycline-based regimens reduced the annual BC death rate by ∼40% in women below the age of 50 and 20% in older women. Novel agents designed to modulate abnormal growth factor signaling in and around the BC cell further increase patients' chances of survival. However, both conventio...

متن کاملEffects of RANKL-Targeted Therapy in Immunity and Cancer
The role of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)/RANK system is well characterized within bone, where RANKL/RANK signaling mediates osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. However, this system has also been shown to influence biologic processes beyond the skeletal system, including in the immune system and in cancer. RANKL/RANK signaling is important in lymph-node developm...
متن کاملOcular adverse effects of anti-cancer chemotherapy and targeted therapy
Systemic anti-cancer therapies can produce acute and chronic organ damage. Ocular toxicity induced by anti-cancer chemotherapy is not uncommon, but underestimated and under-reported. The development of more aggressive regimens, use of newer agents and combination chemotherapies have resulted in a significant increase of reported cases of chemotherapies induced ocular side effects. Visual change...
