What Are Nanotubes?

Nanotubes in cancer treatment: What are nanotubes and how do they work?
  • Nanotubes: Nanotubes are tiny, tube-like structures made from carbon or other materials. They have unique properties that make them ideal for transporting substances, such as drugs or nanoparticles, to specific locations in the body.
  • Nanoparticles: Nanoparticles are extremely small particles, often smaller than a cell, that can be loaded with drugs or other therapeutic agents. They are designed to target and interact with specific molecules or cells, such as those found in tumors.
  • Tumor Targeting: In cancer treatment, the goal is to deliver therapeutic agents directly to cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Nanoparticle tumor targeting involves designing nanoparticles that can specifically recognize and bind to molecules or receptors that are overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells.
  • Delivery via Nanotubes: Nanotubes can be engineered to encapsulate or attach nanoparticles and then navigate through the body to reach the tumor site. Once at the tumor, the nanotubes can release the nanoparticles, allowing them to deliver their therapeutic payload.

Stage Three Breast Cancer

What are the characteristics of Stage Three Breast Cancer?
  • Tumor Growth: Cancer cells continue to grow and divide rapidly, forming a larger mass or tumor. These cells have acquired mutations that enable them to evade the body's normal mechanisms that control cell growth and division.

  •  Genetic Instability: As cancer cells continue to reproduce additional mutations can lead to increased genetic instability. This can lead to more aggressive growth, treatment resistance, or even new cancer types.

  • Metastasis: Stage 3 breast cancer often involves the spread of cancer cells to nearby lymph nodes, particularly those in the armpit. Cancer cells can break away from the primary tumor and travel through the lymphatic system to other parts of the body, such as the bones, liver, lungs, or brain.

  • Angiogenesis: Cancer cells stimulate the formation of new blood vessels to ensure a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients to support their growth. This enables the tumor to sustain rapid expansion and the spread of cancer cells to distant sites.

Stage Four Breast Cancer

Stage Four Breast Cancer: The Last Line of Defense
  • Aggressive Spread: Stage Four breast cancer is when cancer from the breast has spread to other parts of the body, like bones, liver, lungs, or brain.

  • Additional Complications: This spread of cancer can cause complications; including difficulty moving, breathing and/or pain. Which symptoms appear depends on which locations the cancer has spread to.

  • Tough to Treat: Stage 4 breast cancer is tough to treat because of it's spread to different parts of the body. Even though treatments like chemotherapy or targeted therapy can help, they might not be able to get rid of all the cancer cells.

  • Challenging the Body: Stage Four breast cancer challenges the body's ability to fight back. The immune system might not be able to keep up with the cancer cells, making it hard for the body to defend itself.
