Molecular Targeted Drug Therapy of Ovarian Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular targeted therapy as a new means of cancer therapy targeting molecular pathological abnormalities of cancer, the use of target binding ligand and receptor can effectively improve drug lethal to tumor cells while reducing adverse effects on normal tissues and organs, it has been gradually used in clinical treatment. In the treatment of ovarian cancer in comparison with conventional treatment modalities molecular targeted therapy showed significant advantages. In this paper from monoclonal antibodies, signal pathway inhibitors for use both terms of targeted therapy in ovarian cancer treatment and prospects to Summary and Prospects.

Systemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...

Production and approval of trastuzumab (Herceptin®) for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) was a millstone in antibody-based targeted therapy in the cancer treatment. However, despite the early success in the clinical trials, trastuzumab failed to appreciate the initial attraction due to development of resistance to the drug. The majority of patients who benefit from the drug...
متن کاملNew Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Chemotherapy of Ovarian Cancer
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is one of the most sensitive solid tumors, with objective responses ranging from 60 to 80% even in patients with advanced stage. However, most patients ultimately recur and develop resistance to chemotherapy. As a result, the survival rate for patients with ovarian cancer has not improved over the past 20 years. Resistance to chemotherapy presents a major obstacle to a...

Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Chemotherapy is the most common method for cancer therapy which represent non-specific side effects on normal cells and tissues and drug resistance in cancer cells. There are two main mechanisms for Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) in cancer cells including: drug efflux pump and activation of anti-apoptotic pathways. Cancer chemotherapy disadvanta...
متن کاملTargeted Therapies in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Molecularly targeted therapy is relatively new to ovarian cancer despite the unquestionable success with these agents in other solid tumours such as breast and colorectal cancer. Advanced ovarian cancer is chemosensitive and patients can survive several years on treatment. However chemotherapy diminishes in efficacy over time whilst toxicities persist. Newer biological agents that target explic...
