RACP Flashcards
Crizotinib
EML 4 ALK inhibitorNSCLC
Abiratarone
castrate resistant prostate Cablocks tumour androgen productionneed to give w pred to avoid ACTH surge
GnRH antagonist
zoladex
anti androgen
flutamidecan try to withdraw if castrate resistant prostate Ca - 20% will improve
p16
marker for HPV head and neck cancerif present - do better
gefitinib
EGFR TKI used in EGFR mutant NSCLC
bevacizumab
VEGF inhibitorSE - HTN, proteinuria
lambrolizumab
PD1 inhibitor for metastaic melanoma
Ipilumimab
CTLA4 blockerused in metastatic melanomaSE - colitis, hepatitis, rash, hypopit (rare)
Vemurafenib and dabrafenib
used in BRAF mutant melanomaSE - SCCsphosphoERK – if increased, sign of BRAF inhibitor resistance / disease progression
Penatumimab and cetuximab
EGFRmabs used in Kras wild type NSCLC/CRCSE - acne rash (treat w doxy and pred)
seminoma treatment
Alpha fetoprotein should NOT be elevatedRtx sensitiveOrchidectomy + active surveillance if early stage
non seminoma treatment
AFP is the markerNeed to look for retroperitoneal disease, and if present – retroperitoneal LN dissection Chemotx sensitive
SCLC
Chemotx sensitiveIf in one area/field – chemotx + radtx
NSCLC
Rtx responsiveIf resectable – removeIf not – stereotactic rtx
Rifampicin
inhibits bacterial DNA dependent RNA polymerase preventing transcription of DNA into mRNASE - orange secretions, flu like sx, hepatits
Ethambutol
inhibits the enzyme arabinosyl transferase SE - optic neuritis
