TIL Therapies: A New Paradigm in Cancer Treatment

Modified tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes or TIL therapies have emerged as a viable and potent option to selectively eradicate the tumor population, with minimal side effects. Till date, several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and therapeutic superiority (over conventional treatment options) of TIL-based therapies. Their tumor-cell killing efficiency is attributed to the fact that they are

Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Oncology: Current Scenario And Future Potential

In the last decade, the popularity of AI has grown invariably. Specifically, it has made a considerable impact in the medical sector and oncologic treatment as well, due to a surge in electronic data, breakthroughs in technological infrastructure and groundbreaking research in deep learning neural networks. AI has demonstrated potential in improving tumor imaging diagnosis

HER2 Targeting Therapies Market: A Deeper Look into Therapy Developer Landscape and Future Opportunities

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR is a tumor resistance biomarker which plays an essential role in the differentiation and proliferation upon activation through the binding of one of its ligands. A non-ligand-binding member of EGFR family, HER2 exerts its activity through heterodimerisation along with its other family members. HER2 is a transmembrane growth factor

Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Market: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Close to 1.8 million fatalities reported in 2020 were observed to be associated with lung cancer, which is believed to be one of the most aggressive forms of carcinoma, globally. One of the primary reasons for the high mortality rate associated with this condition is anticipated to be late diagnosis, which eventually results in delayed

Rising Popularity of Drug Targeting Synthetically Lethal Targets Fuels the Battle of PARP Inhibitors for Treatment of Advanced Cancer Indications

Cancer is considered to be the second leading cause of mortality, after cardiovascular diseases, accounting for every sixth reported death in the world. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states that the number of new cancer cases is expected to grow to 27.5 million across the globe, by 2040. Experimental evidence has shown

Evolution of Cancer Diagnostics: Rise of Novel Non-Invasive Methods

Cancer diagnosis, today, employs a mix of invasive and non-invasive strategies. Invasive cancer diagnostic methods are generally expensive and uncomfortable. Biopsies have been the gold standard to determine the clinicopathological characteristics of cancer tissues for many years. The procedure is very uncomfortable and painful for patients and in many cases, the results are known to

Cancer Biomarkers Market: Focus on TMB, MSI / MMR and TILs Testing

Advances in biotechnology have enabled the development of several high throughput tools, which have led to the establishment of better biomarkers based on genome / exome profiles. Novel biomarkers, such as tumour mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) / mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency, tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and certain others, are presently being investigated across
