- 1. Exploringthe BiochemicalBasisof CancerTherapy Cancer therapy isa complex field that relies on disrupting the biochemical processes involved in cancer growth. by David Sabastian
- 2. IntroductiontotheDifferent Cancer Therapies Surgery Physical removalof cancerous tissues and organs RadiationTherapy Using radiation to destroy cancer cells in a targeted area Chemotherapy Using drugs to kill cancer cells and prevent them from reproducing Immunotherapy Enhancing the body's immune response to target and destroy cancercells
- 3. Chemotherapy:AnOverview 1 Cell Targeting Targets rapidlydividing cells, including cancer cells 2 Drug Administration Can be administered orally, intravenously or through other routes 3 Mechanismof Action Interferes with DNAreplication or protein synthesis in cancercells
- 4. RadiationTherapy:HowitWorks ExternalBeamTherapy Uses high-energy raysaimed at the cancer from outside the body Brachytherapy Uses radioactive seeds or pellets placed near or inside the tumor Protection Patients may wear protective gear to minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissues
- 5. TargetedTherapy:ANewFrontierin CancerTreatment Selective Targets individual molecules orsignaling pathways involved in cancer growth and survival MinimalSideEffects Healthy cells are not affected, minimizing harmful side effects 1 2 3 EffectiveAgainst ResistantCancers May be useful for treating cancers resistant to other treatments
- 6. ExploringImmunotherapy:Unleashingthe Powerof theBody'sImmuneSystem Checkpoint Inhibitors Block proteinsthat prevent immune system from attacking cancer cells AdoptiveCell Transfer Uses immune T-cells to fight cancer cells in the body Therapeuti c Vaccines Boosts the body's natural defenses against cancer cells Cytokine Therapie s Uses cytokines to stimulate and enhance immune response against cancer cells
- 7. CombinationTherapy:UsingDifferent Approachesto Fight Cancer ImprovedEfficacy Targetscancer cells through different mechanisms, reducing the likelihood of resistance ReducedSide Effects Minimizes harm to healthy cells due to lower doses of each treatment CustomizedApproach Tailored to specific cancer types, stages, and individual patient characteristics
- 8. TheFutureof CancerTherapy:Promising AdvancementsinResearch GeneTherapy Introducing genesto fight cancer and repair damage Nanoparticles Using small particles to deliver cancer drugs directly to the tumor Error uploadingimage. Artificial Intelligence Augmenting diagnosis, treatment, and prediction of outcomes using AI technology
- 9. ChallengesandOpportunitiesinCancer Therapy Challenges Resistance totherapy Side effectsand toxicity High TreatmentCosts Opportunities Advancements in technology and research Personalized and targeted therapies Improved patient outcomes and quality of life
- 10. Conclusion:Exploringthe BiochemicalBasisof CancerTherapyTogether Cancer therapy isa complex field, but with research and development, there is hope for improved outcomes for cancer patients worldwide.
