Targeted therapy in melanoma
Malignant melanoma is a highly lethal disease unless detected early. Single-agent chemotherapy is well tolerated but is associated with very low response rates. Combination chemotherapy and biochemotherapy may improve objective response rates but do not prolong survival and are associated with greater toxicity. Immunotherapeutic approaches such as highdose interleukin-2 are associated with dura...
متن کاملDevelopments in Intralesional Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma.
BACKGROUND Locoregional advanced melanoma poses a complex clinical challenge that requires a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach. Numerous agents have been studied for their suitability as intralesional therapy in the past decades, but few have successfully completed phase 3 clinical trial testing. METHODS The relevant medical literature was searched for articles regarding use of int...
متن کاملAdvances in targeted therapy for melanoma.
Metastatic melanoma remains an aggressive malignancy conferring a very poor prognosis, and standard chemotherapeutic and immunologic treatments have not demonstrated an overall survival benefit. No molecularly targeted therapy is approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma. Melanoma is a molecularly heterogeneous malignancy, and optimal treatment in a given patient is likely to depend on th...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Gene Therapy Research Targeted to Cerebellar Disorders
The cerebellum plays an important role in coordinated movement, motor learning and vestibular function. Cerebellar damage results in impaired body balance and disturbance in gait and posture. The cerebellum is impaired by various genetic diseases, such as spinocerebellar ataxia and mucopolysaccharidosis, and these diseases could be good candidates for gene therapy. There are at least two challe...
متن کاملRecent developments in receptor tyrosine kinases targeted anticancer therapy
Novel concepts and understanding of receptors lead to discoveries and optimization of many small molecules and antibodies as anti-cancerous drugs. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are such a promising class of receptors under the investigation in past three decades. RTKs are one of the essential mediators of cell signaling mechanism for various cellular processes. Transformations such as overex...
