This document discusses different types of cancer therapies including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, gene therapy, nanoparticles, and artificial intelligence. It covers how these therapies work on a biochemical level to disrupt cancer growth. Combination therapies are highlighted as being able to target cancer through different mechanisms to improve efficacy while reducing side effects. The future of cancer treatment is promising due to advancements in personalized and targeted therapies as well as technologies like gene therapy, nanoparticles, and artificial intelligence. However, challenges remain around treatment resistance, side effects, and costs.

1. Exploringthe
BiochemicalBasisof
CancerTherapy
Cancer therapy is a complex field that relies on
disrupting the biochemical processes involved in
cancer growth.

2. IntroductiontotheDifferent Cancer
Therapies
Surgery
Physical removal of 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 rapidly dividing 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 rays aimed 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 or signaling
pathways involved in
cancer growth and
survival
MinimalSideEffects
Healthy cells are
not affected,
minimizing
harmful side
effects

cancer cells

7. CombinationTherapy:UsingDifferent
Approachesto Fight Cancer
ImprovedEfficacy
Targets cancer 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 genes to fight
cancer and repair damage
Nanoparticles
Using small particles to deliver
cancer drugs directly to the
tumor
