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...

متن کاملColorectal cancer and molecular targeted agents: progress--with caveats.
Over the past 10 years, the face of colorectal cancer management has changed due to the addition of new cytotoxic and molecular targeted therapies to the treatment armamentarium. As detailed in the excellent review by Sridharan, Hubbard, and Grothey,[1] the use of new cytotoxic agents, such as irinotecan and oxaliplatin, as well as new molecular targeted agents, such as vascular endothelial gro...
متن کاملCombining molecular targeted agents with radiation therapy for malignant gliomas
The expansion in understanding the molecular biology that characterizes cancer cells has led to the rapid development of new agents to target important molecular pathways associated with aberrant activation or suppression of cellular signal transduction pathways involved in gliomagenesis, including epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, mammalian target o...
