Chemotherapy drugs mechanisms of action table
SDN hive mind: does anyone have a handy table of chemotherapy drugs and mechanisms of action? I would like one to share with medical students rotating through my service, but the ones I have found online tend to be incomplete or inaccurate. Text books are fine, as well.

Small Cell Cancer of Uterus
I have a lady in her mid 50s who underwent a TAHBSO for what turned out to be a small cell carcinoma. Primary invaded through the entirety of the myometrium and into the cervical stroma. Omentum was removed and was negative. 2/9 pelvic LNs positive.
A post-op PET/CT showed a single internal iliac LN with borderline enlargement and FDG-avidity. My personal recommendation was to proceed with systemic chemotherapy and reserve XRT for local salvage (as would be recommended for a small cell...

Cancer Survivor and High School Teacher: What are my chances?
So, here is my story: Thank you for reading this. I will make it as short as possible:
During my second year in college, I was diagnosed with stage II testicular cancer. I underwent chemotherapy and surgery. My whole experience was both traumatic and eye opening. Before cancer, I was a real estate agent and student, but was focusing on my career more so than academics. The hospital opened my world and allowed me to value life deeply. After finishing chemo, I went to back to school to...

Can we prevent chemo related cardiac damage?
I think this study is very exciting- Enalapril and carvedilol for preventing chemotherapy-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with malignant hemopathies: The OVERCOME trial. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013; DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2013.02.072. Available here. In patients with haematological maligancies pretreatment with enalapril and carvedilol appears to ameliorate the reduction in LV ejection fractionBUT it is only a small study with a small change in EF so I guess we need a larger study but certainly appears promising!sadian (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)
