Targeted and smart drugs for cancer: Dawn of a new eraRishi Sawhney
Despite the encouraging preclinical and clinical data that is emerging on the use of ADCs for cancer therapy, a number of challenges remain for the successful clinical translation of these drugs, some of which might represent inherent limitations in the use of antibodies as drug carriers. The most...
Nearly 1 in 4 patients with advanced cancer, treated at Comprehensive Cancer Care Network (NCCN) centres in the US, are receiving innovative drugs matched to DNA mutations in their tumours. This achievement, to be reported at the ESMO 2018 Congress in Munich,(1) shows tha...

Advanced and recurrent gynecological cancers are associated with poor prognosis and lack of effective treatment. The developments of the molecular mechanisms on cancer progression provide insight into novel targeted therapies, which are emerging as groun
Targeted therapy(靶向治疗)uses drugs to stopcancer from growing and spreading. It's a newfor all patients with cancer. At the same time,effective way that is better than other treatmentsdifferent cancers may have the same target.chemotherapy according to the text?With the development of targeted...
Targeted therapy drugs work in a few different ways. They may turn off the process in cancer cells that causes them to grow and spread, making cancer cells die on their own or kill cancer cells directly. People with the same type of cancer may have different targets in their cancer cells...
