Doxorubicin

be treated with the chemotherapy regimens cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) or etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and hydroxydaunorubicin (EPOCH). They also recommend the concurrent use of HAART and a drug called rituximab. The suggested treatment for BL is similar to that of DLBCL. The researchers recommend the chemotherapy regimens EPOCH and cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, methotrexate, ifosfamide, etoposide, and cytarabine…

adaptation thus the athlete’s heart; a physiological cardiac hypertrophy (Gielen et al., 2010). Lastly, this also prevents the impaired systolic and diastolic cardiac function that come with some short term challenges such as ischemia/ reperfusion and doxorubicin (Gielen et al., 2010). All these increase the efficiency of the heart thus its health and well being (Gielen et al., 2010). When the heart is functioning well the blood is able to be pumped throughout the body to meet the various bodily…

treatment is a key element in determining his or her success. Together with chemotherapy and post-remission therapy, a variety of chemotherapy drugs are used because they can more efficiently kill all cancerous cells. Some drugs include daunorubicin, doxorubicin, oncovin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, and cytarabine (Gknation). While there are a variety of drugs…

Did you know that over 70,000 people will be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the United States in 2015? Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. In the lymphatic system, the tumors develop in white blood cells that fight infection called lymphocytes (American Society of Hematology). Along with the 70,000 people diagnosed with NHL this year in the United States, over 19,000 people will die. In addition, about 1 in 50 americans will develop NHL in their…

3. Nanomedicine in the treatment of cardiovascular disease 3.1 Intervention in cardiovascular disease with liposome Delivery of therapeutics to targeted tissues is possible through the design and construction of nanoscale particles while reduced toxicity as well as higher efficiency is obtainable [67,68]. Liposomes have huge skillfulness with regard to physicochemical characteristics, permitting acclimatization of the tiny particle to dovetail to the exact biological application [69]. Building…

*Since male breast cancer has different stages that a man can be diagnosed with that also means that there are different treatments for each diagnosis. The first step that a man would take is have a biopsy done, this is usually a common procedure that a doctor will do to get the information that they need to make a diagnosis. Along with the biopsy there are other surgeries that may be necessary. Chemotherapy is another treatment that is common for a man to do with breast cancer, but it may not…

Nanotechnology and Cancer: A Look into Better Options Since the beginning of time, human beings have been felled by disease and one of the most common killers of humans and animals as well. Until recently cancer has gone uninterrupted in its mass killing spree. Methods of treatment began to arise such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Now technology has advanced enough to allow nanotechnology to arise. Nano allows access to treatment and detection options that neither radiotherapy nor…

Neuroblastoma and microRNA- 34a is commonly mentioned together in many articles and studies around the world. With the advance in medicine and new discoveries, there has been found a dependence relation of neuroblastoma with these specific type of microRNA since it has been discovered how it could eliminate cancer eternally. MicroRNA-34a has not only revolutionized scientists but the world in general because of its ability to destroy neuroblastoma but also because is a new natural genetic…

Kaempferol is a natural polyphenol, secondary metabolite (flavonol), a type of flavonoid, found in a variety of plant-derived foods. Kaempferol is a yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 276–278 °C. It is slightly soluble in water and highly soluble in hot ethanol, ethers, and DMSO. Kaempferol acts as an antioxidant by reducing oxidative stress. Many studies suggest that consuming kaempferol may reduce the risk of various cancers, and it is currently under consideration as a possible…

INTRODUCTION Cancer can be defined as a special kind of illness that occurs when the cells in a given part of a body begin to grow out of proportion than is normal. Currently, in the United States, this disease is the second leading cause of deaths. Human beings over the history have had tumors and remedies have been implemented, and others continue to be performed and studied over time (American Cancer Society, 2010). These methods of treatment include chemo-preventive methods and of late…
