OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to assess the therapeutic and toxicological effects of cesium chloride (CsCl) administration in mice bearing prostate cancer tumors.
METHODS
Three CsCl dose titration studies were completed in tumor-bearing and non-tumor-bearing athymic nude mice. All mice
A brief overview on the relevance in dietary factors in both development and prevention of cancer is presented. The pharmacologic properties of various food ingredients are discussed. Establishing of a special diet for the cancer patient is suggested. In addition, avoidance of certain foods is
The use of cesium chloride (CsCl) for cancer therapy ("high pH therapy") has been theorized to produce anticancer properties by raising intracellular pH to induce apoptosis. Although considered as "alternative medicine", little scientific evidence supports this theory. Alternatively, cells have no
Individuals searching for symptomatic relief or a potential cure are increasingly seeking and using nontraditional therapies for their various diseases. Little is known about the potential adverse effects that patients may encounter while undergoing these alternative treatments. Cesium chloride is
BACKGROUND
Cesium chloride (CsCl) is sold as a treatment for several types of cancers. The purported mechanism of action is alkalinization of relatively acidic neoplastic cells. The efficacy of CsCl has not been demonstrated in controlled experiments. Oral and intravenous CsCl use has been
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study is to examine the association of urinary cesium with breast cancer risk.
METHODS
We collected survey data and urine specimens from 240 women with incident invasive breast cancer before their treatment and 246 age-matched female controls between October 2009 and July
The effect of cesium therapy on various cancers is reported. A total of 50 patients were treated over a 3 year period with CsCl. The majority of the patients have been unresponsive to previous maximal modalities of cancer treatment and were considered terminal cases. The Cs-treatment consisted of
The effect of pretreatment with CsCl on mice bearing sarcoma I implants was studied as a function of duration of treatment period, life span and tissue Cs+ and K+ levels. Treatment with CsCl for 14 consecutive days prior to sarcoma implantation resulted in initial reduction of the tumor-mediated
BACKGROUND
In 2011, two roads in a residential area in Seoul were found to be contaminated with the radionuclide cesium-137 (137Cs). In response to public concerns, an epidemiological study was conducted.
METHODS
The standardized cancer incidence ratios in the affected and neighboring regions were
The nasal cavity of 67 dogs with malignant nasal neoplasia was treated with radiation. Preirradiation surgical cytoreduction of the tumor was done in 41 dogs. Fifty dogs were irradiated by use of 10 fractions over 22 days, and 17 dogs were given a similar total dose in 5 fractions over 35 days. The
OBJECTIVE
Anemia during radiation therapy independently predicts poor outcome in patients with cervical cancer. Despite a randomized trial demonstrating red cell transfusions improve local control and survival, many patients are not transfused due to toxicity concerns. This study evaluates the
We studied the cytotoxicity and metabolism of the investigational cytidine analogue cyclopentenyl cytosine (CPE-C) in three human colorectal cancer cell lines: HCT 116, SNU-C4, and NCI-H630. CPE-C potently inhibited cell growth and decreased clonogenic capacity at concentrations achieved in murine
Neuronal apoptosis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, and neuroprotective agents targeting apoptotic signaling could have therapeutic use. Here we report that cesium chloride, an alternative medicine in treating radiological poison and cancer, has
Combined versus separate exposure of male organism to cesium-137 and chemical agents results in a more pronounced hyperferritinemia in the former case. In female chemists the ferritin level is dependent to a considerable extent on the menstrual cycle showing a tendency for the iron-containing
