The frequent overexpression of the hyaluronan receptors CD44 and RHAMM in cancer cells opens the door for targeting by the naturally-occurring high-M(r) hyaluronan. This is the first time effective in vivo tumor targeting is reported for mitomycin C (MMC) loaded inside nano-sized
OBJECTIVE
To describe the histopathological findings and successful treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) of a conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia with limbal stem cell deficiency that was refractive to topical mitomycin-C (MMC).
METHODS
Interventional case report.
METHODS
A 64-year-old male
Chemotherapeutic insensitivity is one of key obstacles to effectively treating muscle invasive bladder cancer. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) has been identified as a tumor suppressive agent in various types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of 5-Aza-CdR on the
Astaxanthin has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide range of beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. However, the molecular mechanism of astaxanthin-induced cytotoxicity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells has not been identified. Rad51 plays a central
BACKGROUND
Many antitumor drugs require metabolic activation to exert their cytotoxic or cytostatic effects. The so-called bioreductive compounds, whose conversion into active antitumor agents is catalyzed by reductase enzymes, are examples of such drugs. The identification of specific enzymes
Ovarian carcinomas (OC) arising in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers demonstrate pronounced sensitivity to platinum-based therapy due to deficiency of double-strand break DNA repair. However, the choice of subsequent treatment lines for this category of women remains complicated. We considered
BACKGROUND
The use of topical mitomycin C (MMC) has gained popularity in the management of ocular surface neoplasia. The aim of this study is to determine outcomes and complications following such treatment.
METHODS
This study is a retrospective review of patients treated with topical MMC for ocular
Flavopiridol (L86-8275) is a synthetic flavone currently undergoing Phase I clinical trials. It is active against a series of human cancer cell lines and has been shown to inhibit a broad range of protein kinases, including cyclin-dependent kinases and protein kinase C (PKC). Previous studies have
Mitomycin C (MC), a quinone-containing bioreductive alkylating agent, is cytotoxic to aerobic EMT6 tumor cells despite the fact that little bioactivation of MC occurs in EMT6 cell homogenates in the presence of O2. Because spontaneous activation of MC at acidic pH has been reported in chemical
Concanavalin A (ConA)-bound-tumor cell vaccine of methylchoranthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (Meth 1) induced tumor-specific immunoprophylactic and immunotherapeutic response against an inoculum of live Meth 1 cells in histocompatible animals. ConA-free Meth 1 vaccine induced much less response under
Standard chemotherapeutic regimens, such as cisplatin and etoposide, may improve quality of life and prolong survival in patients with incurable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial was designed to evaluate the activity and toxicity of a regimen combining three of the most active agents
The patients having bone metastases from prostatic and renal cancer, of whom 4 were resistant to prior radiotherapy, hormone therapy and/or chemotherapy, were subjected to arterial chemoembolization with mitomycin C microcapsules. In these patients, 12 metastatic lesions in the pelvic bone (5),
We evaluated the technical feasibility of isolated liver perfusion (ILP) in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer metastases confined to the liver, and investigated whether ILP allows exposure of the tumor to high concentrations of mitomycin C (MMC). Furthermore, survival time and tumor
A new dosage form of mitomycin C (MMC-CH) comprising 0.75 mg/ml of activated carbon particles adsorbing mitomycin C at 124 micrograms/mg and 7 micrograms/ml of mitomycin C in a free state was injected intraperitoneally to male rats of Donryu strain transplanted intraperitoneally with 10(7) cells/rat
In this research, ICR male mice were chosen for intrahepatic implantation of sarcoma 180 tumor cells (1 x 10(7)). The mice were randomly divided into various groups 24 hours after implantation. One of the groups was the tumor control, the others were singly or combinedly treated with mitomycin C
