cancer growth blockers is the drug which is consumed to prevent the lung cancer at very early stage (http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/drugs-that-stops-lung-cancer-cell-growth.html) . here is the list of growth blockers and their usage and effect on our body

2. Cancer cells
• Cancer cells originate elsewhere in the human body.
• They appear in the part where the wound remain
unhealed for long duration and the protruded extra cells.
• These cancer cells spread at very faster rate and folks
take many steps like surgery, radiotherapy treatment,
etc… to cure it.
• They also consume the cancer growth brokers.
• The below slides details about the cancer growth
stopping agent.

4. Cancer growth blockers
• The cancer growth blockers blocks the factors that
stimulus the growth of the cancer cells.
• These blockers are not effective in all types of cancer, we
can stop some of cancer cell from dividing.
• There are studies and researches being undertaken to
find the cancer blockers for different types of cancer and
this has become the challenging factor for the
professionals.

6. Cancer growth factors
• Cancer blockers functions by depressing the growth
factors. Some of the growth factors are:
1. Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
2. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
3. Platelet derived endothelial growth factor (PDGF)
4. Fibroblast growth factor(FGF)

8. Function of growth blockers
• Though the core function of the cancer growth blockers
lies in stopping the cancer cells from diving, they perform
the function in the following manner:
1. They reduce the level of growth factor in the body
2. Blocks the growth factor receptor.
3. Blocks the signaling process of the cancer cell.

9. Types of cancer growth blockers
• Tyrosine kinase inhibitors
• Proteasome inhibitors
• mTOR inhibitors
• PI3K inhibitors
• Histone deacetylase inhibitors
• Hedgehog pathway blockers

11. Side-effects of cancer blockers
• Though they help reducing the cancer, some side-effects
arise as in other treatment process. they are:
• Low blood counts
• Weakness
• High blood pressure
• A rash and/or dry, itchy skin
• Fatigue and diarrhea
• A sore mouth

13. • This is all about the cancer growth blockers used at
the limited stages under the recommendation of the
doctor.
• The side-effects are common in all the treatment
process
(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/treatment-for-
lung-cancer-side-effect-and-symptoms.html) and
the effects caused using these growth blockers
doesn’t cause great threat to the body.

14. • Lung cancer symptoms
(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com) has the blog
which updates about all the stages of lung cancer,
treatment methodologies, symptoms, stages, causes
and inspiring stories.
• They also update the technologies in cancer
treatment procedures
