Chemotherapy Regimen in ENT

I Made Nudi Arthana

Chemotherapy regimen in ENT field is Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment by administering certain drugs (cytostatics/anti-cancer drugs). cancer) which aims to to inhibit growth cell cancer or kill cancer cells (1). These drugs are cytotoxic and have different mechanisms in causing cell death. (1). This chemotherapy refers to agents cytotoxic which own mechanism of action which can cause cell death, inhibiting growth cells, inhibiting microtubule function, function protein or DNA synthesis (2).

LITERATURE REVIEW

PRINCIPLE BASE MECHANISM WORK CHEMOTHERAPY

UNDERSTANDING ABOUT CYCLE CELL

To understand the mechanism of chemotherapy, an understanding of the cell cycle is essential. Cell division will produce 3 different cell subpopulations. Namely 1. Cell Which differentiated terminal ( No There is experience regeneration more carry on),

2. Cells that will undergo continuous proliferation, 3. Population of cells that enter resting phase but can be recruited to re-enter the cycle cells. (Stem cells). These three cell populations are found continuously in tumor tissue (3).

The cell cycle consists of 2 main cycles, the S and M phases. Between these two phases, there is a phase gap (Gap) G1 and G2. G0 is the interval between Phase S and G1. At this stage the cells undergo their normal functions. Cells that are programmed to undergo division will enter G1 phase (Gap 1). In this phase, the cells will experience preparations needed to duplicate DNA. After ready, cell then will enter to Phase S. On phase this is it a number of DNA experience replication and the amount of DNA produce tetraploid (4N). After that it enters the G2 Phase (Gap 2) or resting phase, in where cell will get ready to experience mitosis. On phase division or Mitosis ( Phase M) chromosome will experience condensation And separated moment happen division DNA cells produce 2 new daughter cells (4,5).

Cell Cycle
Picture 2.1 Cell Cycle

drugs work to kill cancer cells through various mechanisms. Generally divided into 2 main groups, namely cell-cycle-phase-nonspecific drugs and cell-cycle phase specific drugs. This division is related to the phase at which the drug is active in damaging cells (3).

In general, cell-cycle phase specific drugs work on the S cycle and M cycle, generally in cells that grow rapidly. While chemotherapy with cell-cycle-phase-nonspecific drugs generally Work cause damage cell in stage or process who need DNA, No only moment happen division cell just. So that This drug will also have an effect or work on cells that grow slowly, including normal cells (3,4). 

Cell-cycle-phase-nonspecific chemotherapy agents have a linear dose-response curve , meaning that the higher the dose used, the greater the fraction of cell damage caused. Also more and more big. Different with type , cell cycle phase specific drugs , which actually has plateau curve. Increase the dose of the drug does not provide the effect of tumor cell destruction is increasingly severe (3).

Type drug chemotherapy Which specific cell cycle
Fig 2.2 Type drug chemotherapy Which specific cell cycle 

The growth rate of cancer cells itself is a combination of the proportion of cell division ( the growth fraction ), the duration of the cell cycle ( doubling time ) and the level of cell damage ( rate of cell loss ). Variations in these three factors are responsible for the variation in the growth of each cancer cell (3). Generally, tumor growth shows a sigmoid-shaped Gompertzian growth curve model . Here it is stated that The doubling time of cancer cells varies with the size of the tumor, where growth is very fast when the size/volume of the tumor is still small. As it gets bigger, the growth rate will slow down due to the increasing complexity of the processes required. such as damaged cells, oxygen and blood supply.

Curve Sigmoid Growth Gompertzian
Figure 2.3 Curve Sigmoid Growth Gompertzian

This theory explains that in early growth, when there is rapid growth in the size of the tumor, it will respond very well to chemotherapy. So that the reduction or level of decrease in the size of the tumor is very prominent at this stage (5).

This is the basis for the reason that chemotherapy treatment cannot be given as therapy. single. Generally chemotherapy No given as therapy single, Good from type aspect drug Which used, and also as therapy single without modality therapy Which Another. Combination chemotherapy must achieve 3 main goals, which cannot be achieved with 1 chemotherapy agent, namely providing the ability to destroy cancer cells maximally. in dose range toxicity that is still tolerable by patients, providing

broader coverage against heterogeneous and resistant tumor cell populations, And prevent or slow down growth group cell new Which resistant to chemotherapy drugs (5).

The following are some principles used in combining chemotherapy agents.

  1. Drug Which known active as agent single must combined especially with drugs that can induce complete remission.

  2. Drugs with different mechanisms, combined to provide additional or synergistic effects on tumors.

  3. Drug with toxic dose range the narrow one must be given with drugs that have a wider toxic dose range.

  4. Medications should be given in optimal doses and on schedule, given at consistent intervals.

  5. Interval between drug administration must be narrowed down to the lowest level possible achieved for provides healing effects for normal cells.

  6. Combination between drug chemotherapy with pattern resistance Which different (5).

Chemotherapy drugs can be given on various stage treatment cancer, based on goals and drug response (1.5):

  1. Chemotherapy Neoadjuvan

    Is administration of chemotherapy prior to surgery and radiation. The goal is to shrink sensitive tumors so they can be more easily treated with radiation or surgery, achieving organ preservation.

  2. ChemotherapyAdjuvan

    Chemotherapy is given post-surgery/radiotherapy, with the aim of destroying micrometastases, increasing cancer-free survival,

  3. Chemotherapy Concurrent/Concomitant

    Chemotherapy is given along with radiation, lower doses of chemotherapy, as a radiosensitizer.

  4. Chemotherapy Palliative

    Chemotherapy given For control symptom or extend hope life of patients who are in the terminal or advanced stages. Generally given as a single therapy.

  1. Chemotherapy Induction :

    Chemotherapy Which given For induce remission complete since when given a curative regimen. Usually given for hematologic malignancies.

     

    TYPE CHEMOTHERAPY

    Location Work Each Agent Chemotherapy

    Picture 2.4 Location Work Each Agent Chemotherapy

There is 5 type chemotherapy Which general used moment This:

  1. Alkylator

    This type of chemotherapy has an active alkylator group and under physiological conditions can form an electrophilic group from positive carbon ions. Cytotoxic effects of alkylator substances especially through formation of cross-links directly with N7 radical language guanine or N3 adenine from molecule DNA And protein, matter This

    causing cell structure damage and cell death (7). The activity of the alkylating agent itself depends on the cell proliferation process, but is not cell-cycle-specific . Tumor resistance to this drug is generally associated with glutathione conjugation or increased DNA repair ability. on tumor cells (3).

Mostar Nitrogen/ Nitrogen Mostards

Mostar nitrogen is chemotherapy the first one found in a way as it happens and was used to treat leukemia in 1946.

A number of for example between other cyclophosphamide , chlorambucil, estramustine, ifosfamide, melphalan, mechloretamine, busulfan thiotepa . Cyclophosphamide (CTX) is a derivative of inactive nitrogen mustard, but has cytotoxicity after being processed by the cytochrome P-450 system in liver microsomes. Chemotherapy that is classified as nitrogen mustard is known to cause edema in tissues that provide effects vary from tissue necrosis local to pulmonary fibrosis and also has a strong depressive effect on the hematopoietic system (3).

Nitrosourea

This group is known for its fat-soluble properties and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. fast And maintain the dosage effective in system nerve center so it is commonly used for the therapy of malignant brain tumors ( Carmustine, lomustine, streptozocin (3,7).

Group Metal

Which most famous is Complex Platinum ( cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin) Work with method bound cross with chain double DNA And give alkylator effect. Group this medicine famous with its nephrotoxic effects, however The current 3rd generation has minimal effects on kidney function (7), and is different from its predecessor, Oxaliplatin. It has a di-amino-cyclohexane ring on its platinum molecule that can intervene in the resistance mechanism in tumor cells. It is commonly used to treat malignancies in the digestive tract. Platinum Complex general used in therapy tumor solid like in field ENT-KL, bladder and testicular cancer.

Structure Base Cisplatin, Carboplatin And Oxaliplatin

 

Nonclassic alkylators

Examples of this class of drugs are altretamine, dacarbazine, procarbazine, temozolomide) have a mechanism of forming an active methyl group that has an alkylating effect on DNA. Temozolomide can even cross the blood-brain barrier and is used for anaplastic astrocytoma therapy (3,7).

  1. Antimetabolite

In general structural, class of drugs This resemble metabolites that involved in DNA synthesis or RNA. Effect its cytotoxicity on cell tumor is with compete with normal metabolites used in the catalysis or regulation process enzyme work site involved in the formation of DNA or RNA. So that antimetabolites will be very active in the S phase and very minimal in the G0 phase. So this drug is very functioning when given on cell tumor Which own faction growth the fast one. However, the antimetabolite effect is nonlinear dose-response , which means that after administering a certain dose there is no increase in the effect of destroying tumor cells even if the dose is increased (3).

Generally, antimetabolite drugs are given in large doses at the beginning. to provide a destructive effect on cancer cells, and then the dose will be reduced. This is the basic mechanism of antimetabolite administration. such as methotrexate.

 

Folate analogs

An example is methotrexate. This drug inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, so that tetrahydrofolate production is inhibited, which leads to impaired DNA synthesis. Usually after methotrexate is given a recue dose of leucovorin to make the cells large amounts of tumor become damaged.


 

Pyrimidine analogues

Group this medicine among others is capecitabine, depocyte, floxuridine, flurouracil,. Flurouracil is Wrong One analog pyrimidine Which No follow mechanism The basis of antimetabolite action. It was found that 5FU in high doses is more stable and its cytotoxic effect increases due to modulation biochemistry of the complex formed between 5FU (FdUMP,) and thymidylate synthase and methylene-tetrahydro- folic acid (5,10-CH2-FH4) (7).

 

Purine analogs

It has a structure similar to Guanine and works as a false metabolite. Examples include (fludarabine, mercaptopurine thioguanine),

 

Adenosine analogs

Inhibits the work of the adenosine deaminase enzyme, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and repair. Examples include (cladribine, pentostatin)

 

Cytidine Analogs

The mechanism of action is to inhibit DNA replication by joining DNA and inhibiting the work of DNA methyltransferase or DNA polymerase enzymes. Examples include gemcitabine, cytarabine, azacitidine, decitabine.

 

Substituted urea / hydroxyurea

Wrong One example Which famous There is paclitaxel And docetaxel. Drug This Work by inhibiting change US. Cytidylate becomes deoxycytidylate which will selectively inhibit synthesis DNA. This medicine selective Work on Phase S. ( 2). This class of drugs is also often used in treating late-stage head and neck cancer, where Docetaxel more potent compared to with paclitaxel. However side effects on group This Also No Can underestimated in giving term Long, such as neutropenia, arrhythmia, neuropathy (8).

Antibiotics Antitumor

This class of chemotherapy generally works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and RNA in tumor cells.

Some examples of antibiotics that fall into this category are Actinomycin D, bleomycin, daunimycin. Initially it was an antibiotic but in its development it was found to have a damaging effect on cancer cells due to the mechanism. his work. So it started used as chemotherapy drugs. Antibiotic classification antitumor generally overlapping with inhibitor topoisomerase. Some drugs in this class also have side effects. as topoisomerase inhibitors (8).

  1. Inhibitors Protein Microtubules / Agent Antimicrotubular : Topoisomerase II Inhibitors

    The working mechanism of this group inhibits the work of the topoisomerase II enzyme which results in inhibition in DNA and RNA synthesis. Examples are daunorubicin, doxorubicin, etoposide and teniposide.

Inhibitors Topoisomerase I

This class of drugs works by forming a ternary complex with DNA that will prevent leaky DNA re-ligation and trigger cell death. One example is irinotecan and topotecan. Irinotecan is known for doe-limiting diarrhea , while topotecan is known for dose-limiting neutropenia (2).

Taxane

Disturbance on condition equilibrium polymerization And depolymerization from microtubules in cancer cells so that they are formed abnormal cell function and disrupts cell replication which leads to apoptosis is the mechanism of action of this group. Drugs in this group are specific to the Mitosis Phase. Examples are Docetaxel, cabazitaxel.

Vinca Alkaloid

M phase specific. This drug binds to tubulin and inhibits the formation of microtubulin thereby causing cell proliferation stops in metaphase. One example is Vincristine, vinblastine, vindesine.

Structure Vinka Alkaloid

Goal. Hormone

Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone are some examples of hormones that bind to intracellular receptors and have the potential to stimulate growth of certain tumors, such as Ca Mammae, Ca Prostat. Anti-hormones can be used as inhibitors competitive like antiestrogen (tamoxifen, toremifene ) or antiandrogen (flutamite). A substance similar to LH-RH, through stimulation of production FSH and LH through negative feedback eventually cause ovarian failure, the effect is similar to nonoperative ovarian castration, clinically it can be used for the therapy of breast carcinoma and prostate carcinoma (7).

THERAPY TARGETING

Cancer in field ENT-KL is type cancer most no.6 in world. It is estimated more than 870,000 cases new And 440,000 death in year 2020. Until moment This Still No There is strategy screening Which effective For detect cancer in field ENT-KL, And generally patient new diagnosed on stadium Which Already Continue. Complex And so heterogeneous cancer in field ENT-KL, making its treatment a challenge in itself. The action requires an aggressive multimodal approach including surgery followed by radiotherapy alone or in combination. with chemotherapy ( chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiation) For cancer oral cavity and primary chemoradiation for cancer in the pharyngeal and laryngeal areas (11,12). Cancer in the field of ENT-KL caused by HPV generally shows results more clinical Good compared to with Which No related to HPV. Matter this even causes change on guide staging cancer in field ENT-KL edition 8th, which includes the p16INK4A staining category to indicate HPV status. (15).

The discovery of new drugs such as Pembrolizumab and nivolumab as drugs Which can used For therapy on cancer Which No can operated on or recurrent or metastatic cancer, but the prognosis is still not as expected (13,14). Lack of improvement amount survival cancer And part big patient Cancer in the field of ENT-KL still experiences recurrence or distant metastasis, indicating that further strategies are still needed to increase the success of therapy in cancer patients (14).

The many side effects of traditional chemotherapy and increasing cases of radioresistant, caused Targeted Therapy to start developing a lot. This therapy is based on important findings, that in certain cancer cells have expressions or produce certain proteins or enzymes that regulate the life and development of these cells. Therapy Targeting focuses on these findings, which are the active substances on therapy targeting will block the signal that makes the cell cancer develops or actually causes signals to initiate apoptosis.(17).

The existence of findings expression from Epidermal gross factor receptor ( EGFR,HER1, ErbB1) in Human Squamous Cell Lung Cancer in 1984 became the beginning of targeting therapy. This finding allowed researchers to understand the existence of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), which when activated will cause There is proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells and causes angiogenesis (18). This is the basis of the mechanism of targeting therapy.

Recent studies (18) describe several signaling pathways that regulate cancer cell proliferation in the field of ENT-KL. A total of 8 signaling pathways are related to the growth of normal cells into cancer cells and are the basis of the mechanism of action of targeting therapy. However, the most widely studied is the EGFR pathway.

  1. EGFR pathway

This pathway is named after the cell surface receptor. EGFR itself is a transmembrane glycoprotein. Mutations or amplifications in the gene encoding this receptor are rare, but this receptor is found in large numbers. excessive on surface cells cancer in field ENT-KL, And associated with prognosis Which bad. A number of example therapy targeting Which Work in track This These include Cetuximab and Nimotuzumab.

Cetuximab :

This medicine is antibodies monoclonal Recombinant IgG1 chimeric human / mice, which will bind to EGFR, and will competitively inhibit EGF binding. The formation of a complex between cetuximab and EGFR will stop the signaling pathway for differentiation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in cancer cells through the tyrosine kinase pathway (25).

However Because basically is antibodies monoclonal chimeric humans/rats, This drug still often causes allergic reactions especially on the skin, compared to the next generation of EGFR monoclonal antibody drugs (26). This is related to the findings bond monovalent between cetuximab And EGFR on cell cancer And Also on skin cells (28).

Nimotuzumab :

Almost the same as cetuximab, nimotuzumab are also IgG1 monoclonal antibodies that bind with EGFR. However nimotuzumab in theory own fewer side effects compared to Cetuximab. This is related to its type which is a monoclonal antibody developed from humans (not a combination with chimeric antibodies like cetuximab). In addition, nimotuzumab requires a bivalent bond for more stable attachment to the surface cell, so that produce bond Which more selective to cells which have overexpression of EGFR as shown by SCC cells(27).

Moment This There is 2 type therapy targeting Which most general. Namely antibodies monoclonal And

small molecule inhibitors.

 

Antibody Monoclonal

Have specific protein targets such as receptors on the surface of cancer cells or in the environment around cell tumor. Generally have size molecule the big one And can not enter to in cell. Drugs type This can prevent proliferation tumor by inhibiting molecules who gives signal For proliferation or signal which has an angiogenesis effect. Monoclonal antibodies can also be conjugated with substances such as standard chemotherapy or radionuclides to enhance their therapeutic effects, an example is brentuximab vedotin. Generally, drugs with this mechanism have the suffix - mab ( transtuzumab, pertuzumab, cetuximab) (20.) Generally formulated in the form of injections

Cetuximab is the only one type therapy targeting Which target track EFGR which is approved by the FDA. Since it was studied in 2001, it has given good results in terms of improving efficacy against radiotherapy, and regression of cancer cells.

Small molecule drugs

Having a lighter molecular weight, so it can pass through the cell surface and has a target area inside the cell. The series of processes that arise are also in the form of slowing down proliferation cell And death cell. Type drug Which including in group These include bortezomib, osimertinib and vemurafenib, bevacizumab. Generally have the ending - mib (for protease inhibitors) or - nib (for kinase inhibitors). Most drugs in this class formulated in tablet or capsule form. However, there are several types such as Transtuzumab which are given subcutaneously to shorten the duration of therapy.

Mechanism Track Therapy Target
  1. IMMUNOTHERAPY

Adoptive Cell Therapy

The basic principles of this therapy is cell capabilities T to eliminate cells cancer and there are findings that cell transfer T in sufficient amounts, can induce anti-tumor immunity. This therapy uses tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes derived from T cells or T cells that have been genetically modified to express receptors that recognize tumors.

There is 3 types namely :

  1. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy ( cell Which No modified)

ACT isolates TILs from cancer cells, then incubates them. Then it is given back to patients who have undergone the lymphocyte depletion process. This will increase the body's immune response to cancer cells.

  1. Engineered T-cell receptor therapy ( cell modified )

On technique This cell T modified so that own receptor antigen specific on cancer cells so that T cells can recognize tumor cell antigens more quickly.

The target of this drug is CTLA4, PD1 (programmed cell death receptor 1) and programmed cell death ligand 1.

Drugs that are often used include anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, namely Ipilimumab and anti PD-1 (Nivolumab and pembrolizumab).

Mechanism Work Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Fig. 2.12 Mechanism Work Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Targeted Monoclonal Antibodies

This medicine is passive form of immunity, where monoclonal antibodies will be bound to antigen specific on surface cell cancer. MoAbs Can conjugated with therapeutic drugs other or even stand Alone. Wrong One example Which most often used is Cetuximab ( mouse human chimeric IgG1Ab) And Panitumumab ( human IgG2Ab) (20).

Oncolytic Virus Therapy

This working mechanism is based on the ability of the virus to infect And kill tumor cells. On therapy This, cell tumor will infected by virus Which has undergo gene modification. Cells infected tumor will die due to the cytopathic effect from virus. The death of tumor cells due to this viral infection is expected to induce inflammatory conditions that can trigger immunity to tumor cells. These modified viruses are called Oncolytic viruses . The first oncolytic virus approved by the FDA was Talimogene laher-parapvec (t-VEC) which is used for melanoma therapy. T-VEC is virus herpes simplex that modified And succeed show satisfactory effect in cases of advanced melanoma (20).


 

Cancer Vaccine

Classified become 2 type, namely Vaccine Prophylaxis And Vaccine Therapy.

Vaccine Prophylaxis

Functions as prevention at the primary and secondary levels, which is expected to reduce incident, morbidity And mortality cancer. Vaccine prophylaxis designed to give warning on the system immune in order to recognize antigen tumors and attack the virus before cause infection. This type of vaccine given in healthy individuals. The FDA has approved 2 types of prophylactic vaccines, namely for hepatitis B (causes hepatocellular carcinoma), and for HPV (causes cervical cancer).

Vaccine Therapy

This vaccine is given to cancer patients and is designed to eradicate cancer cells by strengthening the patient's own immune system response. Grouped based on vaccine content, such as cell vaccines (tumor cells or immune cells), protein/peptide vaccines, vaccine gene ( RNA/DNA). Wrong One for example is Bacillus Calmette- Guerin (BCG) is used for bladder cancer patients in early stage and Sipuleucel-T for asymptomatic metastatic prostate cancer (20).

 

Cytokines

It is a messenger molecule that allows immune cells to communicate with each other. Which other For to form immunity Which coordinated And strong. 2 type FDA-approved cytokines are Inferon α (IFNα) and Interleukin-2

Inferon Î±

It has a direct deterrent effect on tumor cells by inducing apoptosis and promoting response immune to cell tumor with stimulate maturation Cell Dendritic and increased T cell cytotoxicity.

 

Interleukin- 2

Approved by FDA For therapy melanoma with metastasis. This cytokine increase level cell NK And TIL on lesi cancer. Giving IL-2 via perilymphatic on cancer patients in the field of ENT-KL show there was an increase in survival rate, and there was an increase in T-cells that were more reactive to cancer cells in patients who received MoAb therapy after surgery.

REGIMEN TREATMENT CANCER IN FIELD ENT- KL

Patients with cancer in the field of ENT-KL caused by environmental carcinogens generally have a worse prognosis than patients with cancer caused by HPV infection. So the strategies used in treating both are different (21).

The goal of therapy for cancer patients in the field of ENT-KL with HPV-negative is more directed on intensification therapy temporary For patient with HPV -Positive, with or minimal exposure to cigarettes, the goal of therapy is more towards reducing the intensity of therapy, while still using rational doses to reduce toxicity but still maintain the level of healing.

Following is a number of regimen chemotherapy, therapy targeting And immunotherapy which is used in cancer treatment in the field of ENT-KL.

ELECTION REGIMEN DRUG ANTI CANCER IN FIELD ENT- KL

NCCN ( National Comprehensive Cancer Network) 2024 issued guidelines election therapy For case cancer in Field ENT-KL. NCCN divide it into 3 categories:

  1. Cancer Gland Saliva

Neoplasms in the salivary glands are relatively rare, accounting for only 3-6% of all tumors in the head. And neck. Part big appear from parotid And generally benign. Only around 25% are malignant tumors. The most common is mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Until now, the main therapy for most salivary gland cancers is surgery and radiotherapy (1).

Guide Which issued by NCCN show chemotherapy as Systemic therapy is given in recurrent, unresectable , or metastatic cases. The regimen used is a combination therapy from the drug group. platinum complex (cisplatin or carboplatin) and anti-metabolites (gemcitabine or paclitaxel). (27).

This cancer is a cancer that is very sensitive to radiotherapy. So that the management definitive For this cancer is therapy radiation especially For KNF associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Surgery is performed in certain patients with persistent or recurrent cancer (1).

Meanwhile, chemotherapy is starting to be used as induction therapy for NPC with a high risk of tall ( mass tumor Which big), therapy concurrent on stadium III with high risk, For therapy KNF Which relapse, metastasis wide (27). Combination Which generally used from the platinum group (cisplatin or carboplatin) and the antimetabolite group (docetaxel, capecitabine, 5-FU)

CONCLUSION

 

 

 

Compared with traditional chemotherapy that has been used to treat cancer in the field of ENT-KL, various new therapies and drugs have been developed. These latest drugs have shown good effectiveness in treating cancer patients, with fewer side effects and good therapeutic effects.

However, with the wide scope of cancer in the field of ENT-KL, there is no single therapy recommended to treat cancer. Combination therapy of various therapeutic modalities still plays an important role in treating cancer in the field of ENT-KL. Especially, part big patient come on condition stadium end. Still Further studies are needed, especially to assess the effectiveness and safety of Therapy Targeting and Immunotherapy. However, there are developments and this latest drug discovery provides hope for increased healing in cancer therapy.
