Challenging issues in molecular-targeted therapy
There are variety of anticancer treatments including chemotherapeutic drugs, which are known to induce cell growth arrest and apoptosis through DNA damage and cytoskeleton toxicity. Meanwhile, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors could apply their antitumor activity through chromatin remodeling and gene expression modulation that affect the cell cycle and survival pathways. This paper proposes...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Molecular Pathways: HER3 Targeted Therapy
The HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases, including EGF receptor (EGFR), HER2, HER3, and HER4, transduce growth-promoting signals in response to ligand binding to their extracellular domains (ECD). This family is deregulated in numerous cancers, withmutations in EGFR andHER2 often serving as "driver" events to activate key growth factor signaling pathways such as the RAS-ERK and PI3K-AKT pat...
متن کاملTargeted molecular therapy of GBM.
Major advances in molecular biology, cellular biology and genomics have substantially improved our understanding of cancer. Now, these advances are being translated into therapy. Targeted therapy directed at specific molecular alterations is already creating a shift in the treatment of cancer patients. Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common brain cancer of adults, is highly suited for this new app...

متن کاملHepatotoxicity of molecular targeted therapy
A constant increase in occurrence of neoplasms is observed; hence new methods of therapy are being intensively researched. One of the methods of antineoplastic treatment is molecular targeted therapy, which aims to influence individual processes occurring in cells. Using this type of medications is associated with unwanted effects resulting from the treatment. Liver damage is a major adverse ef...
