Current Approaches in Breast Cancer Treatment

Abstract

Cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Many genetic and environmental factors play an important role in breast cancer and therefore it is considered as a heterogeneous disease. Nowadays, new treatment approaches are being studied for reasons such as the different treatment responses of the defined subtypes to each other, the development of resistance to traditional therapies in clinical use, the high rate of relapse after treatment, and the damage to healthy cells by the chemotherapeutics. Current approaches in breast cancer treatment such as immunotherapy, PI3K / AKT / mTOR inhibitors, JAK / STAT inhibitors, CDK4 / 6 inhibitors target signaling pathways that play a role in breast cancer development and / or contribute to the development of resistance

Meme Kanseri Tedavisindeki Güncel Yaklaşımlar

Abstract

Meme Kanseri kadınlarda en sık görülen kanser tipidir. Meme kanserinde pek çok genetik ve çevresel faktörler rol oynamaktadır ve bu nedenle heterojen bir hastalık olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Tanımlanmış olan alt tiplerinin tedaviye verdikleri yanıtın birbirlerinden farklı olması, klinik kullanımda yer alan geleneksel tedavilere karşı direnç gelişmesi, tedaviden sonra nüks oranlarının yüksek olması, kullanılan kemoterapötiklerin aynı zamanda sağlıklı hücrelere de zarar vermesi gibi nedenlerle günümüzde yeni tedavi yaklaşımları üzerinde çalışılmaktadır. Meme kanseri tedavisindeki immünoterapi, PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitörleri, JAK/STAT inhibitörleri, CDK4/6 inhibitörleri gibi güncel yaklaşımlar meme kanseri gelişimde rol oynayan ve/veya direnç gelişimine katkıda bulunan sinyal yolaklarını hedef almaktadır.
