Follikuläre Arzneimittelreaktion auf Cetuximab

Abstract: Cetuximab belongs to a newly developed group of anti-cancer drugs, which have an inhibitory effect on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). EGF-R plays a major role in the homeostasis of the epidermis and epidermal appendages. In addition, EGF-R is expressed on a variety of carcinomas of different origin and is thought to be partly associated with tumor progression. For this reason, inhibition of EGF-R seems a promising anti-cancer therapy, as shown in a few clinical trials. As a side effect of the the… Show more

“…Therefore, prevention of tumor progression is one of the primary goals of cancer prevention and control. However, agents that are currently being used for cancer therapy are generally cytotoxic, with serious side effects that can diminish the quality of life of cancer patients [ 6 ]. Recently, many efforts have been made to find non- or low-cytotoxic bioactive compounds that are present in the diet and that have potential anticancer effects [ 7 ].…”
