MAIN RESULTS OF CLINICAL RESEARCH IN ONCOLOGY IN FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR 2010

Abstract

Currently, monoclonal antibodies play an important role in the treatment of solid tumors. Usually they are used in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, because in themselves have limited antitumor activity. Specificity of monoclonal antibodies with combining into conjugates with cytotoxic drugs, toxins or radionuclides, allows to achieve targeted delivery to tumor cells. Although previously immunoconjugates do not find application in the clinical practice, improvement of technology of their manufacture and use of more potent cytotoxic agents led to the development of immunoconjugates with advanced properties. It is very likely that in the near term, immunoconjugates could play an important role in the treatment of patients with solid malignant tumors.
