Treating Breast Cancer: Current
Therapies and Options on the Horizon

Introduction
✓ Breast cancer is a national disaster. It is treatable,
and it can also get cured. However, patients should
ensure that the symptoms are minimized, and the
quality of living is improved during the early stages.
✓ The rate at which the population is suffering from
cancer is increasing has triggered researchers to
develop various ways of preventing and treating
cancer.

Chemistry and cancer research: a
crucial relation
• The first Chemistry in Cancer Research
Conference jointly presented by the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and American
Association for Cancer Research (AACR) was
hosted by the Chemistry in Cancer Research
Working Group (CICR) of the AACR in 2007
(Sturla et al., 2007)

Chemistry and cancer research: a
crucial relation…cont.
• Cell cultures are continually
finding application in the
study of drugs that can be
used to treat breast cancer
• In the joint chemistry
session, one researcher
proposed one such drug
• an inhibitor of the DNA
repair enzyme poly(ADPribose) polymerase
• However, the drug is still
under clinical testing
(Sturla et al., 2007)

Causes of breast cancer
• Experts continue with the
process of finding out new
causes of breast cancer. So
far the available list of the
verified causes is very long
• examples of the most
common causes includes;
• Inheritance
• Body weight
• Diet
• Some environmental factors
contribute to breast cancer.(
Killelea, et al, 2019)

Ways of minimizing the risk of breast
cancer
• Experts are doing their best to find a solution of
lowering the risk of breast cancer especially to
women who are vulnerable to its risk.
• Its confirmed that Estrogen blocking medicines can
help to prevent cancer.
• Use of non- hormonal drugs.( Killelea, et al, 2019)
