Looking at this statement, develop an argument and critically evaluate/discuss it, then discuss difficulties with PARP inhibitor therapy and developments/progression in the future, the statement is "New synthetic lethal strategies targeting DNA damage response in solid tumours have been developed as a result of the success of PARP inhibitor therapy in ovarian cancer.
Heterotypic interactions of tumor cells have been a fertile area for potential therapeutic interventions. Find a specific example of a drug/therapy that targets these interactions and explain the mechanism by which it treats cancer.
Distinguish between What is known of CD105 (endoglin) as an hepatcellular carcinoma marker and it’s potential as a drug target. Discuss: - Is anything known about its biology? E.g does it have known ligands and normal functions? - if you were to target it would you just use it to get growth inhibiting compound into the new blood vessels or is CD105 required for neovascularization?
For many years, targeted therapies for cancer treatment continue to be developed, however more and more patients are developing resistance to targeted therapies. Discuss one mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies for cancer and provide an example of how might creatively combat it using clinical concepts.
Describe one chemotherapeutic approach that can be used to treat prostate cancer? Your answer should include information about the molecular processes and interactions which are at the core of the treatment strategy
Q2) А. As long as the optimum dosage of the ionizing radiation is achieved it can be used for treatment of cancer. Can you explain the working principle of the treatment? - Hint: Consider the effect of treatment on both healthy and cancer cells В. Please explain how DNA viruses and telomere shortening may cause the onset of cancer.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs. 1) What is the importance and advanatge of detecting CSCs? 2) What kind of systems have been developed to detect CSCs? Describe by giving examples. Please explain in detail with your own words.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of general chemotherapy like Etoposide compared to specific inhibition of EGFR.
1) A) List 15 drugs (monoclonal antibodies can be used) used clinically to treat cancer in humans. These targets must be signal transduction pathway components. B) For each drug, list the specific protein targeted. C) For each drug, describe the efficacy of treatment (i.e. what is the success rate in life extension) as well as appropriate cost of treatment whether it be per round or an average annual cost.
