Interferon alfa-2a 認識化療藥品Referon-A
2024/1/22Roferon-A® is a synthetic interferon alfa-2a that stimulates T cells and other immune system cells to fight certain types of cancer.
Liposomal doxorubicin 認識化療藥品Lipo-Dox
2024/1/22Lipo-Dox® is doxorubicin covered in tiny spheres called liposomes. These spheres keep the doxorubicin in the bloodstream longer and has more time to reach the tumor tissue, thus significantly lowering the side effects.
Oxaliplatin 認識化療藥品Oxaliplatin
2024/1/22Oxaliplatin, a platinum compound, is an alkylating agent that exerts its anticancer activity by reacting with DNA and interfering with DNA replication and cell division. This stops the growth and spread of cancer cell in the body.
Rituximab 認識標靶藥品Rituximab
2024/1/22Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets to a protein called CD20 on the surface of white blood cells known as B lymphocytes. When rituximab sticks to the surface of these cells, the abnormal growth of the B lymphocytes is stopped and triggers cell death.
Bevacizumab 認識標靶藥品Bevacizumab
2024/1/22Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets to the protein called endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thereby inhibiting the binding of VEGF to its receptors. As a result, bevacizumab prevents the growth of the new blood vessels, thereby reducing oxygen and nutrients to the tumor. This can interfere with cancer cell growth and expansion.
Cetuximab 認識標靶藥品Cetuximab
2024/1/22Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cells. EGFR is found in large amounts on the surface of some cancer cells, resulting in tumors growing more quickly. By attaching to the EGFR, this drug blocks EGFR from receiving growth signals, preventing further cancer growth and slowing cancer progression.
Gefitinib 化學藥物艾瑞莎IRESSA用藥指導
2024/1/22Gefitinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor which targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cells. EGFR is found in large amounts on the surface of some cancer cells, resulting in tumors growing more quickly. Gefitinib blocks the function of EGFR, thus preventing further cancer cell growth and slowing cancer progression.
Erlotinib 口服化學藥物得舒緩用藥指導
2024/1/22Erlotinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cells. EGFR is found in large amounts on the surface of some cancer cells, resulting in tumors growing more quickly.
Abraxane 認識化療藥品Abraxane
2024/1/22Abraxane® is an albumin-bound form of paclitaxel. Albumin is a protein found in the blood. Paclitaxel is a plant alkaloid derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree.
Aflibercept 認識化療藥品Aflibercept
2024/1/22Aflibercept is a monoclonal antibody that targets to the protein called vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), VEGF-B and placental growth factor (PIGF), thereby inhibiting the binding of these proteins to its receptors.
