Emerging Therapies for Esophageal Cancer
This chapter will review the status of clinical and laboratory research exploring targeted therapies for treatment of esophageal cancer. Therapies that target specific pathways activated in cancers offer the potential for potent anti-cancer effects with minimal host toxicity. This review will not only summarize the status of targeted therapies currently being evaluated in clinical trials for tr...
متن کاملTargeted Therapies for Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer related death and by 2030, it will be second only to lung cancer. We have seen tremendous advances in therapies for lung cancer as well as other solid tumors using a molecular targeted approach but our progress in treating pancreatic cancer has been incremental with median overall survival remaining less than one year. There is an urgent ne...
متن کاملTargeted therapies for pancreatic cancer.
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer is a devastating malignancy and a leading cause of cancer mortality. Furthermore, early diagnosis represents a serious hurdle for clinicians, as symptoms are non-specific and usually manifest in advanced, treatment-resistant stages of the disease. SOURCES OF DATA Here, we review the rationale and progress of targeted therapies currently under investigation. AR...
متن کامل“Targeted” Chemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer

Due to its increasing incidence and low survival rate, esophageal cancer (EC) is now considered, even by non-medical professionals, as an extremely difficult cancer to beat akin to well-known terminal indications such as pancreatic and lung cancers. The average 5-year survival of EC is less than 1...
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...
