Immune Therapy for Breast Cancer
In breast cancer, components of the immune system are thought to play important roles in several parts of the metastatic cascade 2. Various immune strategies have been tested as therapy for breast cancer: vaccine therapy, administration of exogenous cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapy. As a guide to the practicing clinician, the present article reviews current progress and future...
متن کاملRadiation Immune Modulation Therapy of Glioma
Since Roentgens discovery of the X-rays 1895, radiation therapy (RT) has been one of the most successful modalities used to treat cancer (Rontgen 1995). The experimental radiation treatment of glioma, however, took place first in 1938 (Bailey & Brunschwig 1938). Since then advances in radiation technology have expanded the role and value of using ionizing radiation in diagnosis, imaging and the...
متن کاملMulti-kinase modulation for colon cancer therapy
It is now well recognized that in the vast majority of tumor types, for the approach of "kinase inhibition" to exhibit a significant effect, whether the data are from an in vitro assay, an animal model or the clinic, requires that multiple complementary kinases be simultaneously inhibited. This combined inhibition is not only kill the tumor cell but also to suppress and kill tumor cells that se...
متن کاملCalcium sensing receptor modulation for cancer therapy.
The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a member of the largest family of cell surface receptors, the G protein-coupled receptors involved in calcium homeostasis. The role of the CaSR in neoplasia appears to be homeostatic; loss of normal CaSR-induced response to extracellular calcium is observed in cancers of the colon and ovary, while increased release of PTHrP is observed in cancers of the br...
متن کاملHarnessing the potential of radiation-induced immune modulation for cancer therapy.
The conventional use of radiotherapy is for local tumor control. Radiotherapy of the primary tumor can prevent the development of distant metastases, but this modality is generally not effective for treating preexisting systemic disease. However, radiation-induced tumor destruction may be considered a novel strategy for in situ cancer vaccination, in which tumor antigens released from dying tum...
