Endpoint of cancer treatment: targeted therapies.
Nowadays there are several limitations in cancer treatment. One of these is the use of conventional medicines which not only target cancer cells and thus also cause high toxicity precluding effective treatment. Recent elucidation of mechanisms that cause cancer has led to discovery of novel key molecules and pathways which have have become successful targets for the treatments that eliminate on...
متن کاملTelomere-based cancer treatment: emerging targeted therapies.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are standard care in cancer treatment; however, both have numerous adverse side effects because they affect healthy as well as cancerous cells. The side effects, including decreased white blood cell count, nausea, hair loss, and fatigue, can be severe enough that patients may decide to forgo treatment. Targeted therapies are treatments that focus on specific m...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapies
With unprecedented understanding of molecular events underlying human cancer in this genomic era, a large number of drugs specifically targeting hypothesized oncogenic drivers to which tumors are potentially addicted to have been developed and continue to be developed. These targeted cancer therapies are being actively tested in clinical trials with mixed successes. This editorial provides an o...
متن کاملTargeted therapies for treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer remains the leading cause of death among women with gynecologic malignancies in the United States. Most women with epithelial ovarian cancer present with advanced disease. Despite good response rates to initial surgery and chemotherapy, the majority of patients experience relapse and ultimately die of their disease. A better understanding of the molecular differences underlying t...
متن کاملCastration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Targeted Therapies and Individualized Treatment
Various molecular mechanisms have been implicated in the progression from hormone-sensitive to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Novel targeted agents to treat CRPC have been developed that inhibit either androgen receptor (AR)-mediated signaling (AR antagonists and inhibitors of androgen synthesis) or non-AR-mediated signaling (inhibitors of Src, mammalian target of rapamycin, chape...
