Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1983ADENOCARCINOMA of pancreatic ductal cells is almost always fatal. Despite many thousands of pancreatoduodenectomies during the last 40 years, fewer than 100 cured patients are known. The past 20 years have produced only about 50 five-year survivors among 1,250 patients treated for cure (4% rate), and many of those have later died of recurrent cancer ...

Neurotoxicity of Cancer Treatment
Current Oncology Reports, 2010Cancer therapy--including brain-directed surgery, brain or spine irradiation, or chemotherapy--may affect the nervous system in a deleterious manner, affecting either the central or peripheral nervous systems. The causation of encephalopathy (eg, radiation, chemotherapy) is most relevant for the differential diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS ...

Pain is one of the most feared consequences of cancer. Control of pain from cancer should be possible with the approaches discussed above. Changing attitudes toward the effective use of narcotic analgesics, the development of novel routes and methods of administration, and a clinical approach based on scientific principles and humane care offer the ...

Vaccines in the treatment of cancer
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1995The development of vaccines for treating cancer is discussed.

A vaccine is a way of delivering an antigen to the immune system such that immune cells recognize the ...

42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37475), 2004
This interactive presentation is meant to explore the role of control in the treatment of cancer with chemotherapy. The dynamical system and the cost functional are the components of a control problem. The selection of either piece directly influence the control strategy. A compartment model is used to model the evolution and growth of cancer utilizing
