It has nothing to do with retinopathy, but the characteristic leaky vasculature present in tissues affected by this disorder allows for drugs targeting against it via the EPR effect.
It has nothing to do with retinopathy, but the characteristic leaky vasculature present in tissues affected by this disorder allows for drugs targeting against it via the EPR effect. Anthracyclines are a class of antibiotic used to treat this non-bacterial disorder. 5-FU combats this disorder by inhibiting the action of thymidylate synthase. Another type of drug used to treat this disorder are topoisomerase inhibitors. Alkylating agents and (*) cisplatin work to combat this disorder by chemically modifying DNA in a way which leads to apoptosis. The protein p53 works to prevent the onset and spread of this disorder. This disorder spreads from its initial site to other tissues in a process termed metastasis. For 10 points, name this disorder characterized by rapid out-of-control cell growth
