With the help of this blog we are going to let you
know about the possibility of treating renal cell carcinoma with immune based
therapy. Immunotherapy is one of the growing fields in cancer research in
recent years. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of renal
cancer in adults that originates from the lining of proximal convoluted tubule
(PCT) in the kidney.
According to the data presented by the SEER in 2014,
it was estimated that approximately 63,920 new cases of renal cancer (39,140 in
men and 24,780 in women) were identified and about 13,860 people (8,900 men and
4,960 women) get died from this disease in the U.S. The incidence and
prevalence in males and females is in the ratio 1.5:1.
The
prevalence was estimated that there were 358,603 people alive with RCC in the
United States in 2011. The RCC represents 3.8% of all cancer cases in the
United States.
The
most common risk factors are body weight, smoking, hazards chemicals such as
cadmium, and herbicide, inherited risk factors such as von Hippel Lindau
disease, hereditary leiomyoma renal cell carcinoma, hereditary papillary renal
cell carcinoma, and hereditary renal oncocytoma, and other risk factors are
race, gender, high blood pressure and family history.
The
treatment protocol includes monoclonal antibodies, kinase inhibitors, mTOR
therapy, vaccines and proteasome inhibitor therapy.
The FDA
approved monoclonal antibodies is Bevacizumab.
In
kinase inhibitors the FDA approved drugs are Sunitinib Malate, Sorafenib,
Pazopanib, and Axitinib.
The FDA
approved mTOR drug is Temsirolimus and
Everolimus.
There are some
vaccines that are not currently approved by FDA for RCC. However, many drugs
are under clinical trials in phase I, II, and III such as AGS-003
and IL-2 (Aldesleukin).
There are some proteasome inhibitor
drugs that are not currently approved by FDA for RCC. However, many drugs are
under clinical trials in phase I, II, and III as Bortezomib
and Carfilzomib.
Immunotherapy
has proven to be effective in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our
success in treating RCC is increasing and advancing with the knowledge of the
function of the immune system.
Global
Allied Pharmaceuticals (GAP) has advanced treatment based on immunotherapy and
immune combination therapy for various types of cancer. Additionally our
company accompanies an expert and skilled team of researchers and oncologists
which works effectively to meet the unmet meet of medication.
