Biliary tract cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare but aggressive cancer that affects the bile ducts in the liver. The bile ducts are tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine, where it helps with digestion. Biliary tract cancer can develop in any part of the bile ducts, including the […]
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare cancer that develops in the lining of the abdomen, known as the peritoneum. It is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers and has a poor prognosis. Clinical trials are a critical component of cancer research, and they offer potential benefits to participants, including access to cutting-edge treatments and the opportunity […]
Anetumab ravtansine is a targeted therapy that is used in the treatment of some types of cancer. It is a monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that is designed to target and kill cancer cells selectively. The drug consists of three components: a monoclonal antibody, a linker, and a cytotoxic agent. The monoclonal antibody in anetumab ravtansine […]
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that develops in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. It is primarily caused by exposure to asbestos, a mineral that was widely used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries until the 1970s. Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose and treat, and there is currently no cure. Although […]
Desmoplastic mesothelioma is a rare subtype of malignant mesothelioma that accounts for approximately 5% of all mesothelioma cases. This type of cancer is known for its unique characteristics, which include a dense fibrous tissue around the tumor cells. Radiation therapy is one of the treatment options for desmoplastic mesothelioma, which involves using high-energy radiation to […]
