Optune Lua™ treatment now offered at Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center
Following treatment, diagnostic tests may be repeated to assess the effectiveness of the treatment, whether the condition has changed, and whether alternate treatments should be undertaken.
New generation, cutting-edge research has discovered that molecular-targeted chemotherapy agents can function to specifically isolate mesothelioma cells. Molecular-targeted therapies disable cancer cell DNA.
Other cutting-edge therapies work to inhibit key enzymes or cell-to-cell signaling pathways cancer cells need to grow and multiply.
As they are still in the preliminary stages of development, there are not many human clinical trials utilizing these therapies. Cleveland Clinic recognizes the promise of these techniques and is working to further their advancement.
Volunteers in clinical trials can play a more active role in their healthcare and gain access to new treatments before they are widely available to the public. They can also help others by contributing to medical research.
