2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is a drug made from estrogen that may help slow tumor growth by blocking the formation of new blood vessels tumors need to survive. It belongs to a group of medicines called angiogenesis inhibitors, which are being studied and sometimes used in cancer treatment to limit tumor development.
The 21-Gene Signature, also known as the Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay, is a lab test used for certain early-stage breast cancers. It looks at the activity of 21 genes in the tumor to help predict the chance that the cancer might come back or spread. This information helps doctors and patients decide if chemotherapy is needed along with other treatments.
2IT-BAD Monoclonal Antibody 170 is an experimental cancer treatment that combines a lab-made antibody targeting a protein called MUC-1 on some cancer cells with a compound that can carry radioactive material. This combination may help doctors find and kill cancer cells more precisely. It is still being studied and is not yet a standard treatment.
