Does Therapeutic Repurposing in Cancer Meet the Expectations of Having Drugs at a Lower Price?

Therapeutic repurposing emerged as an alternative to the traditional drug discovery and development model (DDD) of new molecular entities (NMEs). It was anticipated that by being faster, safer, and cheaper, the development would result in lower-cost drugs. As defined in this work, a repurposed cancer drug is one approved by a health regulatory authority against a non-cancer indication that then gains new approval for cancer. With this definition, only three drugs are repurposed for cancer: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine (superficial bladder cancer, thalidomide [multiple myeloma], and p

Combination Immunotherapy as a Promising Strategy to Overcome Immunotherapy Resistance: From Emergence to Next-Generation Approaches.

Advances in immunotherapy, particularly with immune checkpoint inhibitors, have improved clinical outcomes in various cancer subtypes; however, resistance often occurs because these treatments rely on single agents and show limited translational success when combined. Therefore, it is necessary to develop immune checkpoint inhibitor-based combination strategies by integrating next-generation immunotherapies and innovative biomarkers. This review highlights the emerging combinatorial approaches that can be tailored to the distinct tumor microenvironment types to overcome resistance to immune ch

Managing Matajoosh: determinants of first Nations' cancer care decisions.

BackgroundAccessing cancer treatment requires First Nation peoples living in rural and remote communities to either commute to care, or to relocate to an urban centre for the length or part of the treatment. While Canadians living in rural and remote communities must often make difficult decisions following a cancer diagnosis, such decisions are further complicated by the unique policy and socio-historical contexts affecting many First Nation peoples in Canada. These contexts often intersect with negative healthcare experiences which can be related to jurisdictional confusion encountered when
