Book Description
Part I- Understanding Cancer Immunotherapy: A brief Review. Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that boosts the body's natural defenses to fight cancer. It uses substances made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function. Immunotherapy may work by: Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells Stopping cancer from spreading to other parts of the body Helping the immune system work better at destroying cancer cells There are several types of immunotherapy, including: Monoclonal antibodies and tumor-agnostic therapies Non-specific immunotherapies Oncolytic virus therapy T-cell therapy Cancer vaccines Part II- “What is Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T- Cell Therapy?” An Emerging Cancer Treatment Modality. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an emerging cancer treatment modality in which the patients’ own immune cells are collected, genetically engineered to recognize a tumor-related target, expanded in vitro, and then reinfused to produce responses and prevent progression in a variety of malignancies (ie, adoptive cell transfer) Several types of adoptive cell transfer(ACT) are under investigation, but CAR T-cell therapy is the first to enter clinical practice. Like other technologies, CAR-T cell therapy has undergone a long development process in the past. Chimeric antigen receptor- (CAR-) T cell therapy is one of the most recent innovative immunotherapies and is rapidly evolving. At present, CAR-T cell therapy is developing rapidly, and many clinical trials have been established on a global scale, which has great commercial potential. I have endeavored to compile this E- Booklet into Two Parts i.e. Part I & Part II for better understanding of Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, an emerging cancer treatment modality. In Part I, an effort has been made to describe Cancer Immunotherapy briefly whereas in Part II know about of CAR T-Cell Therapy-the first to enter clinical practice- has been embodied. Further it is attempted to describe toxicity of CAR-T cell therapy briefly and future development and opportunities for immunotherapy. …Dr. H. K. Saboowala. M.B.(Bom) .M.R.S.H.(London)

Diagnosing and Treating Adult Cancers and Associated Impairments

Book Description
Cancer is the second leading cause of death among adults in the United States after heart disease. However, improvements in cancer treatment and earlier detection are leading to growing numbers of cancer survivors. As the number of cancer survivors grows, there is increased interest in how cancer and its treatments may affect a person's ability to work, whether the person has maintained employment throughout the treatment or is returning to work at a previous, current, or new place of employment. Cancer-related impairments and resulting functional limitations may or may not lead to disability as defined by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA), however, adults surviving cancer who are unable to work because of cancer-related impairments and functional limitations may apply for disability benefits from SSA. At the request of SSA, Diagnosing and Treating Adult Cancers and Associated Impairments provides background information on breast cancer, lung cancer, and selected other cancers to assist SSA in its review of the listing of impairments for disability assessments. This report addresses several specific topics, including determining the latest standards of care as well as new technologies for understanding disease processes, treatment modalities, and the effect of cancer on a person's health and functioning, in order to inform SSA's evaluation of disability claims for adults with cancer.

Targeted Cancer Therapy in Biomedical Engineering
Author: Rishabha Malviya
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811997861
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 949
Book Description
This book highlights the role of Biomedical Engineering (BME) used in diagnosis (e.g., body scanners) and treatment (radiation therapy and minimal access surgery in order to prevent various diseases). In recent years, an important progress has been made in the expansion of biomedical microdevices which has a major role in diagnosis and therapy of cancer. When fighting cancer, efficacy and speed are of the utmost importance. A recently developed microfluidic chip has enabled a breakthrough in testing the efficacy of specialized cancer drugs. Effective cancer-targeting therapies will require both passive and active targeting strategies and a thorough understanding of physiologic barriers to targeted drug delivery. Targeted cancer treatments in development and the new combinatorial approaches show promise for improving targeted anticancer drug delivery and improving treatment outcomes. This book discusses the advancements and innovations in the field of BME that improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This book is focused on bioengineering approaches to improve targeted delivery for cancer therapeutics, which include particles, targeting moieties, and stimuli-responsive drug release mechanisms. This book is a useful resource for students, researchers, and professionals in BME and medicine.
