Abstract
Genome instability is a key driver of malignant progression in cancer and is char-acterized by chromoanagenesis, including spontaneous events, such as chromothripsis, chromoanasynthesis, and chromoplexy. These genome catastrophes create the heterogeneity necessary for tumor cells to adapt, evolve, and resist therapy. Ergodic anticancer therapy rep-resents a novel strategy for targeting cancer stem cells by manipulating their genome chaos. Two approaches have been proposed: ergodynamic anticancer therapy (EDAT), which en-hances genome chaos beyond a critical threshold and leads to self-destruction, and ergostatic anticancer therapy (ESAT), which suppresses chaos and limits malignant progression. This brief review explores the conceptual foundations, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic potential of ergostatic and ergodynamic therapies in treating cancer, highlighting their role in personalized medicine.
期刊介绍:
Current Cancer Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular drug targets involved in cancer, e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes and genes.
Current Cancer Drug Targets publishes original research articles, letters, reviews / mini-reviews, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in cancer.
As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-cancer drug discovery continues to grow; this journal has become essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
