Preview- It is obvious that, most physicians believe that combination chemotherapy (administering two or more drugs) is most effective for breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer patients because combination therapy has been shown to provide better cancer cell control with lower (i.e., inferior, or lower tubercle) doses of individual drugs. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland). Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Combination therapy, therapy that combines more than one method of treatment. Also called multimodality therapy and multimodality treatment. Modality is a method of treatment. For example, surgery and chemotherapy are treatment modalities.
- It appears that, tumor (i.e., neoplasm) cell heterogeneity in response to the potentially cytotoxic/antiproliferative effects of cancer chemotherapeutic agents has been the stimulus for a current novel approach to combination chemotherapy. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm (i.e., new growth, or tumor). Response is in medicine, an improvement related to treatment. Cytotoxic, cell-killing.
- It might seem apparant that, experimental basis (i.e., base) of cancer combination chemotherapy with retinoids, cytokines, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, and analogs - Bollag - two thousand four - Journal of Cellular Biochemistry (i.e., biologic chemistry, or physiologic chemistry) - Wiley Online Library. Experimental is in clinical trials, refers to a drug (including a new drug, dose, combination, or route of administration) or procedure that has undergone basic laboratory testing and received approval from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be tested in human subjects. A drug or procedure may be approved by the FDA for use in one disease or condition, but be considered experimental in other diseases or conditions. Also called investigational.
