Brain tumors can be broadly categorized into primary and secondary (or metastatic) tumors. Primary tumors originate in the brain1, while secondary tumors spread from other body parts. Treatment options traditionally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, these approaches can be invasive and have severe side effects. The battle against brain tumors is being ...
Compared to other solid tumors, pancreatic cancer (PC) lacks effective therapy with poor outcomes. PC is highly resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy due to its systemic aggressive nature, complex mutational environment, and desmoplastic stroma. ...
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both men and women but is more common in women. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast, including the tubes that carry milk to the nipple or the lobules that produce milk. The exact cause of breast cancer is not completely understood, but factors such as genetics, hormone situations, ...
Targeting of triple negative breast cancer cells by disulfiram Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to breast cancer that is negative for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2), which can only be treated clinically with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Robinson et al. used a high-throughput ...
In order to improve the outcome of adoptive T cell therapy, patients often require prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy-induced myeloablative therapy. This conditioning regimen may improve the proliferation and durable viability of adoptive T cells in vivo by balancing cytokine production in vivo and removing some immunosuppressive cells (such as regulatory T cells ...
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. Although immunotherapy specialists devised ingenious ways to use the patients’ own immune system to better ...
Cancer survival rates decrease with age, in part because the efficacy of cancer therapies declines in older individuals. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy wreak havoc on the immune system, kill both healthy and cancerous cells alike and cause a buildup of cellular waste in the tissue. ...
