Cancer Treatment - Biological Therapy To Cure Cancer - Lesson 112



An additional fresh line of attack to cancer management is the employment of the body's individual resistance systems to scrap tumor cells. Researchers see the sights how the ingredients of the immune system can be brought back, developed, imitated, and influenced to annihilate cancer cells within the body. Chemical materials brought into being by standard cells that moreover in a straight line wedge tumor development before kindle the immune system and additional body barricades are called genetic reaction modifiers. The instances of these materials are interferon prepared by lymphocytes, monoclonal antibodies created by mouse cells, and proficiency of strapping to human tumors, colony-stimulating factors or CSFs so as to accelerate blood-forming cells and turn around the upshots of chemotherapy, and interleukins with the intentions of stimulating the immune system to annihilate tumors.

Now we will sort out chemotherapeutic and biological events one by one.

CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

ALKYLATING CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. BCNU or carmustine
2. Cisplatin and carboplatin
3. Cyclophosphamide or Cytoxan
4. Melphalan or Alkeran
5. Nitrogen mustard
6. Chlorambucil

ANTIBIOTIC CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. Actinomycin D
2. Bleomycin sulfate
3. Daunorubicin hydrochloride
4. Doxorubicin hydrochloride or Adriamycin
5. Idarubicin
6. Mitomycin C

ANTIMETABOLITE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. Cystosine arabinoside or ara-C
2. 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU
3. Methotrexate or MTX
4. 6-thioguanine or 6-TG
5. Fludarabine
6. Pentostatin

BIOLOGICAL CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. CSFs or colony-stimulating factors
2. Interferon
3. Interleukins such as IL-1, IL-2, and IL-3
4. Monoclonal antibodies

PLANT DERIVATIVE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. Vinblastine sulfate or Velban
2. Vincristine sulfate or Oncovin
3. VP-16 or etoposide
4. VM-26 or teniposide
5. Taxol

STEROID CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. Dexamethasone or Decadron
2. Diethylstilbestrol or DES
3. Flutamide
4. Leuprolide
5. Prednisone
6. Tamoxifen citrate

MICELLANEOUS CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS:

1. Dacarbazine
2. L-asparaginase
3. Lomustine Procarbazine hydrochloride
