Disease Analysis: HER2+ Breast Cancer

Amplification of the HER2/neu oncogene and related genetic elements on chromosome 17 increases HER2 expression and accelerates tumorigenesis. The natural disease progression meant that, historically, women with breast cancer who overexpressed HER2 were found to have significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival compared with women without HER2 amplification; however, the introduction of trastuzumab in 1998 drastically changed patient outcomes, to the point where HER2+ breast cancer patients now have the longest median survival of all breast cancer subtypes. HER2 is overexpressed in approximately 20% of breast cancers.

Disease Analysis: Head and Neck Cancer

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are defined as any cancer that begins in cells of the oral cavity, pharynx, nose, sinuses, or salivary glands. These cancers are grouped together due to historical similarities in etiology, disease presentation, and manifestation. The vast majority of these cases (90%), collectively referred to as head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), appear in squamous epithelial cells lining the mucous membranes of these regions. The exception to this is salivary gland cancer, which can appear in any of the salivary glands’ diverse cell types.

Disease Analysis: Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening and often fatal disease characterized by abnormal vascular proliferation and remodeling of the small pulmonary arteries and arterioles, vasoconstriction, and in situ thrombosis. This leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and, ultimately, the development of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Cornerstone histopathological features of the PH vasculopathy include intimal thickening, concentric hypertrophy, and perivascular fibrosis of distal pulmonary arterioles.

Ischemic Stroke Market and Forecast Analysis 2024

Stroke is the second most common cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. A stroke occurs when there is a blockage or bleed in the cerebrovascular system that leads to either a neurological deficit persisting beyond 24 hours or death.

Disease Analysis: Chronic Heart Failure

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. CHF can result from functional abnormalities such as ventricular dysfunction or arrhythmias, or structural disorders of the myocardium or valves.

Disease Analysis: Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis, caused by mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, is a rare and life-limiting genetic disorder that is characterized by thick, sticky mucus and pulmonary complications.

Disease Analysis: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The “ABCD” GOLD treatment guidelines focus on exacerbation risk and patient-reported outcomes to determine pharmacological treatment strategies, independent of spirometric value. Dual bronchodilator combinations are being considered as the new gold standard over long-acting muscarinic antagonist Spiriva in the treatment of more severe COPD.
