Targeted cancer therapy: review article

Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems of today modern societies which has an increasing rate especially in developing countries. There are many diverse ongoing treatment attempts trying to defeat cancer. Despite that, scientists have been unable to find a permanent cure for this disease. In many cases although there is a successful first response in patients, cancer cells are fina...

Targeted Therapy: Attacking Cancer with Molecular and Immunological Targeted Agents

Today, personalized cancer therapy with targeted agents has taken center stage, and offers individualized treatment to many. As the mysteries of the genes in a cell's DNA and their specific proteins are defined, advances in the understanding of cancer gene mutations and how cancer evades the immune system have been made. This article provides a basic and simplified understanding of the availabl...

Ocular 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...

Molecular Targeted Drug Therapy of Ovarian Cancer

Molecular targeted therapy as a new means of cancer therapy targeting molecular pathological abnormalities of cancer, the use of target binding ligand and receptor can effectively improve drug lethal to tumor cells while reducing adverse effects on normal tissues and organs, it has been gradually used in clinical treatment. In the treatment of ovarian cancer in comparison with conventional trea...
