Targeted therapy for hematologic malignancies.
BACKGROUND The introduction of monoclonal antibodies, either as native molecules or conjugated to radioisotopes or other toxins, has led to new therapeutic options for patients with hematologic malignancies. In addition, the use of small molecules against specific cell surface receptors, enzymes, and proteins has become an important strategy in the treatment of such disorders. METHODS The aut...
متن کاملCAR T-cell Therapy of Hematologic Malignancies: An Update in Targeted Antigens
Immunotherapy with genetically engineered T-cells that express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has raised hopes for the treatment of pediatric malignancies. Although CAR T-cell development is on a fast-moving pace and evolution, the context of exploring novel targetable antigens has been neglected. In this review study, we analyze the prominent hematologic antigens targeted by engineered T-...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy in Non-Gastrointestinal Thoracic Malignancies
Photodynamic therapy has a role in the management of early and late thoracic malignancies. It can be used to facilitate minimally-invasive treatment of early endobronchial tumours and also to palliate obstructive and bleeding effects of advanced endobronchial tumours. Photodynamic therapy has been used as a means of downsizing tumours to allow for resection, as well as reducing the extent of re...
متن کاملSystemic therapy of non-colorectal gastrointestinal malignancies in the elderly
In the coming years life expectancy is expected to increase and with this the percentage of the population above age 65 will grow. Patients above 65 make up more than two thirds of those currently diagnosed with gastrointestinal malignancies. Available evidence based medicine does not focus on the average patient, above the age 70, encountered in every day practice. Most guidelines and clinical...
متن کاملROR1 and ROR2 in Human Malignancies: Potentials for Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapies require cellular protein expression that meets specific requirements that will maximize effectiveness, minimize off-target toxicities, and provide an opportunity for a therapeutic effect. The receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptors (ROR) are possible targets for therapy that may meet such requirements. RORs are transmembrane proteins that are part of the receptor tyros...
