Pathways of Targeted Therapy for Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

One of the most common and deadly cancers in the world, colorectal cancer (CRC) caused around 881,000 melanoma deaths in 2018. The third most frequent cause overall cancer-related death worldwide is colorectal cancer (CRC). A difficult issue related to chemotherapy is the subsequent adverse effects brought on by the toxicity of conventional medications. Location-specific/targeted distribution of chemotherapeutic medicines precisely to the afflicted site of something like the colon in a foreseeable and reliable way is obviously of concern. For many years, cancer sufferers' initial choices have been surgery and chemotherapy. The prognosis for CRC, particularly for those with metastatic tumours, has never been satisfactory. A recent optional strategy called targeted therapy has been effective in extending patients with CRC's overall survival. Following achievements with the anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) agent cetuximab and the anti-angiogenesis agent bevacizumab, new drugs that inhibit several important pathways and immune checkpoints are being developed at an unheard-of rate. The growing number of high-quality clinical trials is being used as a basis for updating guidelines worldwide regarding the recommended targeted medications. An overview of current CRC-targeted drugs and their underlying processes is given in this review, along with a discussion of their drawbacks and potential directions.

Lipid-Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles for Topical Drug Delivery System

“…The cationic lipid and cationic biodegradable polymer-based Nanoparticle are widely used in the gene delivery system 50 . The lipid and polymer-based non-viral carrier systems have various advantages like low immunogenicity, low toxicity absence of viral recombination low production cost 51 , but have some limitations like cytotoxicity, stability into the serum, high duration of gene expression and large particle size. The lipid-polymer hybrid Nanoparticle is a more reliable carrier for gene delivery than other carriers because these are biodegradable, stable and long-lived Nanoparticle vector delivery systems.…”

A Comprehensive Review on Antioxidant-Rich Natural Fruit and Vegetable Products and Human Health

“…Similarly, Amiot and Lairon and Butt and Sultan reported that about 30-40% chances of cancer can be prevented by adopting a proper physical and dietary lifestyle. Consumption of vegetables rich in dietary antioxidants has been linked to a lower risk of different types of cancer, especially the mouth, pharyngeal, esophageal, lung, stomach, and colon cancer 95,[124][125][126][127][128][129][130] .…”

“…Among the various food plants, fruits and vegetables (FAV) are reported to have health-improving benefits [1][2][3] . Some FAV such as the citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, lime, lemon), grapes, pomegranates, apples, dates, green and yellow vegetables (peppers), cabbage, strawberries, carrots, dark leafy greens, and banana [4][5][6] , have been known worldwide to contain antioxidants. A characteristic of antioxidants is that they exert both additive and synergistic effects in reducing the risk of chronic diseases [7][8][9] .…”
