Nanobody, New Agent for Combating Against Breast Cancer Cells

چکیده
Breast cancer (BC) is a major public health problem among women throughout the world. More than 1.1 million cases are diagnosed annually and more than 410,000 patients die of it worldwide (Ferlay et al., 2010). BC is a complex and intrinsically heterogeneous disease with different morphologies, molecular profiles and clinical behavior which require different treatments (Bosch et al., 2010). Cancer treatment has come a long way from surgery alone to combined therapies to control tumour growth. By introducing the new therapeutic agents, combinations of existing therapies and targeted therapies, there would be promising future to improve survival and life span of patients who deal with this disease.

Targeting Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines Using Nanobodies; AgSK1as a Potential Target
Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of aggressive cancers. Chemotherapy, surgery,and radiotherapy are the common therapeutic options for treating this cancer. Due to the adverse side-eff ects of these methods, immunotherapy is considered as an appropriate alternative therapeutic option. Treatment through the application of monoclonal antibodies is considered as a n...

Background: Recently, modification of T cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has been an attractive approach for adoptive immunotherapy of cancers. Typically, CARs contain a single-chain variable domain fragment (scFv). Most often, scfvs are derived from a monoclonal antibody of murine origin and may be a trigger for host immune system that leads to the T-cell clearance. Nanobody is a spe...
متن کاملBreast cancer imaging: a new role of Tc-99m sestamibi prone scintimammography for diagnosisof breast cancer
Mammography remians the procedure of choice in screening asymptomatic women for breast cancer. However, in patients with symptoms, other types of imaging play an important role in the detection of malignancies. The high cost and lack of availability of PET and MRI largely precludes the use in this patient population. TI-201 is nbt the imaging agent of choice because of its wash-out and redistri...

Background and Objective: Harnessing immune system and its powerful arm, T lymphocytes, against tumor cells are yielding promising results in cancer immunotherapy. Using two arms of immune system in the designing of engineered T cells expressing chimeric receptors with anti-HER2 nanobody (camelid single domain antibody) seems to be an effective strategy in the targeted cancer therapy. ...
متن کاملAn Agent- based Modeling for Breast Tissue Simulation and the Growth and Spread of Tumor in Various Breast Cancer States
Introduction: Breast cancer is a cancer that is caused by abnormal growth of breast cells. Modeling and simulation of the growth and treatment of breast cancer, along with providing the possibility of doing experiments and research, can reduce the time and cost of treatment by predicting some cases. The purpose of the present research was to develop an agent-based model for the simulation of b...
