Antitumor Adjuvant Drugs
Antitumor adjuvant drugs refer to medications used in combination with primary cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy to enhance their effectiveness or to prevent cancer recurrence. These drugs are designed to support the primary treatment by targeting residual cancer cells that may remain after initial therapy, thereby reducing the risk of relapse. Antitumor adjuvants can work through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting cancer cell growth, promoting immune responses against cancer cells, or preventing the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow (anti-angiogenesis). Examples of antitumor adjuvant drugs include cytotoxic chemotherapy agents like paclitaxel and cisplatin, targeted therapies such as trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer, and immunotherapies like checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab.
