Molecular mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance in breast cancer therapy
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Chemotherapy is the main strategy in the treatment of this disease especially in the advanced form of the disease. Despite the recent progress in the development of new chemotherapy, the effectiveness of these drugs has dramatically reduced due to multidrug resistance. The phenotype of multidrug resistance (MDR) can occur through different me...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic therapy in breast cancer
Based on a strong rationale for anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment in breast cancer and promising preclinical data, great hopes have been placed on the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab. Clinical trials, however, reported conflicting results. In metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative breast cancer, the addition of bevacizumab to standard chemothera...
متن کاملPolydopamine Nanoparticles for Combined Chemo- and Photothermal Cancer Therapy
Cancer therapy with two different modalities can enhance treatment efficacy and reduce side effects. This paper describes a new method for combined chemo- and photothermal therapy of cancer using poly dopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs), where PDA-NPs serve not only as a photothermal agent with strong near infrared absorbance and high energy conversion efficiency, but also as a carrier to deliver ...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic Therapy for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Introduction Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality, after lung cancer.1 The overall incidence of breast cancer was increasing until recently, but mortality has declined since 1990, presumably due to earlier detection and better treatments.1 Despite great advances in the current therapeutic options for the treatme...
متن کاملMultifunctional Gold Nanostar Conjugates for Tumor Imaging and Combined Photothermal and Chemo-therapy
Uniform gold nanostars (Au NS) were conjugated with cyclic RGD (cRGD) and near infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe (MPA) or anti-cancer drug (DOX) to obtain multi-functional nanoconstructs, Au-cRGD-MPA and Au-cRGD-DOX respectively. The NIR contrast agent Au-cRGD-MPA was shown to have low cytotoxicity. Using tumor cells and tumor bearing mice, these imaging nanoparticles demonstrated favorable tum...
