What are the Therapeutic Strategies Targeting Proliferation?
Treatments targeting cancer cell proliferation aim to disrupt the cell cycle and reduce tumor growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as taxanes and antimetabolites, interfere with DNA synthesis or mitotic spindle function. Targeted therapies, like tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, block specific signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation. Additionally, immunotherapies harness the immune system to recognize and eliminate proliferating cancer cells.
