Breastcancer : Breastcancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts.
Treatment
Surgery, radiation ,medications
medications
There are currently three main groups of medications used for adjuvant breast cancer treatment: hormone-blocking agents, chemotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies.
Hormone blocking therapy
tamoxifen (Nolvadex), anastrozoleor letrozole
Chemotherapy
Cyclophosphamide with doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Sometimes a taxane drug, such as docetaxel (Taxotere), is added, and the regime is then known as "CAT". Another common treatment, which produces equivalent results is cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (or "CMF").
Monoclonal antibodies - Trastuzumab
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) : .
Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHLs) : NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMAS (NHLs) are diverse group of blood cancers that include any kind of lymphoma except Hodgkin's lymphomas.[1] Types of NHL vary significantly in their severity, from indolent to very aggressive.Lymphomas are types of cancer derived from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Lymphomas are treated by combinations of chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies (CD20), immunotherapy, radiation, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Non-Hodgkin lymphomas were classified according to the 1982 Working Formulation which recognizes 16 types. The Working Formulation is now considered obsolete, and the classification is commonly used primarily for statistical comparisons with previous decades. The Working Formulation has been superseded twice.The latest lymphoma classification, the 2008 WHO classification, largely abandoned the "Hodgkin" vs. "Non-Hodgkin" grouping. Instead, it lists over 80 different forms of lymphomas in four broad groups
TREATMENT
Chemotherapy- This is a method of treatment which makes use of drugs to kill cancer cells. These drugs may be administered in the following way-
Orally (Through mouth)
Intravenously (Through vein)
Intramuscularly (Into the muscles)
Subcutaneous (Beneath the skin)
Intrathecally (Into the cerebrospinal fluid)
For Slow-Growing NHLs
Chemotherapy using a single nucleoside (e.g., fludarabine phosphate, or cladribine)
Chemotherapy with a single alkylating agent (e.g., Chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide)
For Fast-Growing NHLs
Fast-growing, Stages 1 or 2 NHL is treated with an aggressive combination of the following drugs:
CHOP- Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, Prednisone;
BACOD, Bleomycin, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, Dexamethasone;
MACOP-B, Methotrexate, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, Prednisone,
Bleomycin;
Pro-MACE-CytaBOM- Prednisone, Methotrexate, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide,
Etoposide, cytarabine, bleomycin, Oncovin
EPOCH, Etoposide, Prednisone, Oncovin, Cyclophosphamide, Halotestin.
