Sperimentazione e ricerca

Un medico d'avanguardia. Gianni Bonadonna e la chemioterapia dei tumori

Domenico Ribatti

editore: Carocci

pagine: 125

Gianni Bonadonna è stato un pioniere della ricerca sui tumori e ha rivoluzionato la storia dell'oncologia clinica mondiale. Laureato a Milano, rientrato in Italia nel 1964, dopo un tirocinio al Memorial Sloang Kettering Cancer Center di New York, ha sempre lavorato presso l'Istituto nazionale dei Tumori di Milano, dove nel 1976 è stato nominato direttore della Divisione di Oncologia medica e, successivamente, direttore del Dipartimento di Medicina oncologica. Le sue ricerche di maggior rilievo comprendono le prime valutazioni cliniche sull'efficacia dell'adriamicina, vari studi sulla chemioterapia adiuvante e primaria del carcinoma mammario, sulla malattia di Hodgkin, per il cui trattamento ha messo a punto una nuova combinazione di farmaci, nota come ABVD. Nel 1995, un ictus ha interrotto bruscamente la sua carriera professionale. Nel 2013, ha lasciato definitivamente l'Istituto dei Tumori di Milano, per dedicarsi alle attività della "Fondazione Michelangelo", organizzazione non lucrativa di utilità sociale per l'avanzamento dello studio e della cura dei tumori, che egli stesso ha fondato nel 1999. L'American Society of Clinical Oncology ha istituito il "Gianni Bonadonna Award and Lecture" come riconoscimento dell'importante attività clinico-scientifica svolta dal grande medico. Bonadonna ha ricevuto varie onorificenze nazionali e internazionali e nel 2004 è stato insignito della laurea honoris causa in Medicina dall'Università di Torino.

Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology

Primer of the Molecular Biology of Cancer

Steven A. Rosenberg, Theodore S. Lawrence
e altri

editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins

pagine: 456

Drawn from the content of the new Ninth Edition of Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, this unique publication brings together the basic scientific information on the molecular biology of cancer. The format is designed to be useful both to research scientists interested in the study of cancer and to oncologists who need to understand these new developments that are having a profound impact on the care of patients with cancer. Leading scientists and clinicians in the field of molecular biology and clinical oncology have lent their expertise to this project. The text has been divided into two parts. Part I includes thirteen chapters that deal with the general principles of the molecular biology of cancer that provide the basic framework for an understanding of the behavior of cancer cells. Part II includes an up-to-date description of how this new information has affected the understanding of the biology of 19 of the most common cancers, with an emphasis on how these new findings have been translated to impact the management of cancer patients. This distinctive text provides a single concise source of information for scientists and clinicians in this rapidly developing field.

Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Cancer Therapeutics

Ram I. Mahato, Yi Lu

editore: Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

pagine: 712

Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Cancer Therapeutics covers a wide variety of therapeutic approaches including gene therapy, immunological therapy; cancer vaccines; strategy for solid tumors as well as for hematological cancers; methods to suppress tumor angiogenesis and metastasis; development and utilization of relevant animal models; introduction of new concepts such as cancer stem cells and new technologies, such as DNA and tissue microarrays; and RNA interference. In addition, clinical application, the development of DNA diagnosis biomarkers and cancer prevention, as well as the utilization of imaging in cancer therapy are also discussed. The use of synthetic carriers, such as lipids, polymers, and peptides for delivery and targeting of small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids to cancer cells in vivo are discussed. Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Cancer Therapeutics also includes cancer therapy modality in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, as well as in combination or multi-modality, giving our book a more focused view of cancer therapy.

Cancer Chemoprevention

e altri

editore: Humana Press Inc.

pagine: 568

Despite significant advances in cancer treatment and measures of neoplastic progression, drug effect (or early detection, overall cancer incidence has increased, pharmacodynamic markers), and markers that measure cancer-associated morbidity is considerable, and overall prognosis as well as predict responses to specific therapy. cancer survival has remained relatively flat over the past All these biomarkers have the potential to greatly augment several decades (1,2). However, new technology the development of successful chemoprevention therapies, allowing exploration of signal transduction pathways, but two specific types of biomarkers will have the most identification of cancer-associated genes, and imaging of immediate impact on successful chemopreventive drug tissue architecture and molecular and cellular function is development-those that measure the risk of developing increasing our understanding of carcinogenesis and cancer invasive life-threatening disease, and those whose mo- progression. This knowledge is moving the focus of cancer lation can "reasonably predict" clinical benefit and, therapeutics, including cancer preventive treatments, to therefore, serve as surrogate endpoints for later-occurring drugs that take advantage of cellular control mechanisms clinical disease. Thus far, the biomarker that best measures to selectively suppress cancer progression. these two phenomena is intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) Carcinogenesis is now visualized as a multifocal, because it is a near obligate precursor to cancer.

COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy

Randall E. Harris

editore: Humana Press Inc.

pagine: 381

The revelation that aspirin and aspirin-like compounds have notableantineo- plastic properties has revolutionized cancer research. COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy chronicles the evidence and presents exciting new op- portunities for the use of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) blockade in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The text is divided broadly into five areas. First, an historical overview documents the scientific discovery ofCOX-2 and the pharma- ceutical development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) designed for selective COX-2 inhibition. The process by which essential poly- unsaturated fatty acids (PUF As) stimulate prostaglandin biosynthesis and cancer development, and its interruption by COX-2 inhibition, is elucidated. This is followed by a section on the epidemiology of NSAIDs and cancers of the colon and breast, and other anatomic sites. These chapters reflect significant cancer protection owing to the regular use of common NSAIDs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. A section on animal models of carcinogenesis presents comprehensive evidence that general NSAIDs inhibit a variety of malignant neoplasms in vivo, and highlights recent findings which show that COX-2 blocking agents produce striking chemopreventive effects against colon cancer and breast cancer as well as other malignancies. Genetic models are presented confirming the critical role of COX-2 in carcinogenesis. Section IV then discusses the molecular biology of COX -2 vis-a-vis the role of COX -2 and, to a lesser extent, COX -1, in modulating a number of important processes in molecular carcinogenesis such as mutagen- esis, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and apoptosis.
