Cancer Drugs that Inhibit Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors
Epidermal growth factor receptors are found in the cell membranes. When activated, these receptors initiate a signaling process that regulates cell growth. Since many cancers have excessive activation of these receptors, drugs have been developed to inhibit their functioning.
• epidermal growth factor receptors
• cell signaling
• epidermal growth factor
• transforming growth factor alpha
• monoclonal antibodies
Repopulation of Cancer Cells
The regrowth of cancer cells following radiation or chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure. Treatments based on modifying the dose or schedule of treatment as well as the use of cytostatic molecular-targeting agent hold promise to overcome this process.
• repopulation of cancer cells
• radiotherapy
• chemotherapy
• cytostatic drugs
• molecular signaling pathways
Signal Transduction Inhibitors
Signal transduction is any biochemical communication from one part of a cell to another in order to initiate processes such as growth or cell division. Since signal transduction is over stimulated in many cancers, the development of inhibitors of the process represents promising new therapies.
• signal transduction
• receptor
• enzyme
• tyrosine kinases
• ras protein
Targeting STAT Proteins for Cancer Therapy
Activation of STAT proteins by cancer cells has been shown to be an essential feature of cancer progression. A further understanding of the process can lead to novel methods of cancer therapy.
• stat proteins
• cytokine
• tyrosine kinases
• p53
• apoptosis
