Nanocells cancer combination therapy acts as chemotherapy as well as anti-angiogenic drug
Cancer chemotherapy is not effective in treating cancer efficiently due to its non-specificity and inability to target the cancer cells alone. Due to this non-specificity there is increased // development of drug resistance shown by these cancer cells. Normal cells and cancer cells depend on blood supply for sustenance and oxygen. Cutting off blood supply could be one way to kill the ca...Anti-Angiogenics Very Effective Against Cancer
According to the University of Minnesota scientists anti-angiogenics are compounds that are very effective against cancer//. They are tiny molecules which cut of the blood supply to the solid tumor. This prevents the growth of the tumor. The study results appear in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. ‘This is a novel class of drugs that increases the potential for good, effec...Potential Diagnostic Marker Indicates Effectiveness of Anti-Angiogenic Drugs
If an anti-angiogenic drug is successfully starving a cancer patient’s tumor to death, the number of endothelial cells circulating in the individual’s bloodstream will decrease // , thus providing a potential biomarker for gauging the medication’s effectiveness, according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) research. Previous studies have shown that the blood circulation of cancer patie...
