Targeting Signal Transduction Pathways in Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
Greater understanding of the underlying etiology and biology of breast cancer is enabling the clinical development of targeted therapies for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Following the successful introduction of trastuzumab, the first human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) biologically targeted therapy to become widely used in MBC patients, other agents have been developed. Novel agents...
متن کاملAdvances in Targeting Signal Transduction Pathways
Over the past few years, significant advances have occurred in both our understanding of the complexity of signal transduction pathways as well as the isolation of specific inhibitors which target key components in those pathways. Furthermore critical information is being accrued regarding how genetic mutations can affect the sensitivity of various types of patients to targeted therapy. Finally...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways in Breast Cancer – Drug Targets and Challenges
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide [1]. Over 1.1 million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed across the world each year, compared with about 500,000 cases in 1975. This represents about 10% of all new cancer cases and 23% of all female cancers [2-3]. An annual prevalence of more than 4.4 million cases of breast cance...
متن کاملPET of signal transduction pathways in cancer.
In this era of systems biology, the tide of information derived from "omic" technologies (genomics, proteomics, etc.) has sparked a revolution in drug design, with many industrial and academic programs now embracing the concepts of molecular medicine (i.e., targeting changes in specific proteins or pathways) as measures of treatment efficacy and outcome. This approach has yielded a plethora of ...
متن کاملNatural and herbal compounds targeting breast cancer, a review based on cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known as the major reason for therapy resistance. Recently, natural herbal compounds are suggested to have a significant role in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The aim of this study was to explore the effective natural herbal compounds against BCSCs.This review article was designed based on the BCSCs, mechanisms of therapy resistance and natural he...
