Non-small-cell lung cancer: targeted therapies
Chemotherapy: is it still enough? The major progresses in understanding cancer biology and the mechanism of oncogenesis have allowed the development of several potential molecular target drugs for cancer treatment, which are components of signaling pathways or metabolic processes contributing to the acquisition of cancer phenotype. A general better tolerability, owing to a milder toxicity profi...
متن کاملA RAS renaissance: emerging targeted therapies for KRAS-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.
Of the numerous oncogenes implicated in human cancer, the most common and perhaps the most elusive to target pharmacologically is RAS. Since the discovery of RAS in the 1960s, numerous studies have elucidated the mechanism of activity, regulation, and intracellular trafficking of the RAS gene products, and of its regulatory pathways. These pathways yielded druggable targets, such as farnesyltra...
متن کاملEmerging Therapies for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and Immunotherapy
The current standard of care for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) includes radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery in certain individualized cases. In unresectable NSCLC, chemoradiation has been the standard of care for the past three decades. Local and distant failure remains high in this group of patients, so dose escalation has been studied in both single institution and nati...
متن کاملMaintenance Therapies for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Treatment of lung cancer had evolved during the last decade with the introduction of new chemotherapeutic regimens and targeted therapies. However, the maximum benefit reached after first-line therapy is limited by the cumulative toxicity of platinum drugs and the subsequent deterioration in performance status in a high percentage of patients who end up receiving not more than one line of treat...
متن کامل"Targeted" therapies for non-small cell lung cancer.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in the majority of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). This presents an opportune target for new treatment strategies designed to selectively interfere with the cancer cell growth cycle. Recent investigations into the biology of the EGFR and its downstream signaling pathways have reminded us of the complexity of cancer cell communic...
