Irinotecan and radiation in combined-modality therapy for solid tumors.
Irinotecan (CPT-11, Camptosar) is a camptothecin derivative that is thought to exert its cytotoxic effects by targeting topoisomerase I. It is believed that irinotecan stabilizes a DNA-topoisomerase I cleavable complex, and that interactions between this complex and the replication machinery may lead to cell death. There is a significant volume of in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating that ir...
متن کاملConcurrent Paclitaxel and Radiation Therapy for Solid Tumors.
BACKGROUND: Combination radiation and chemotherapy has an intuitive appeal for improving cancer treatment. Experimental results suggest that paclitaxel plus radiation might produce additive or synergistic effects. METHODS: A series of phase I and II trials to test tolerance and begin to evaluate effectiveness were performed on patients with non-small cell lung cancer, high-grade astrocytic brai...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: implications for cancer gene therapy.
PURPOSE Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical model is developed to describe the spread of herpes simplex virus from the initial injection site. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The tumor is modeled as a sphere of radius R. The model ...
متن کاملComparison of three different techniques in parotid gland tumors using three dimensional conformal radiation therapy
Introduction: Background: Radiotherapy of parotid tumors is achieved by different radiotherapy techniques. So they deliver the dose to organs at risk such as contralateral parotid, temporal lobe & spinal cord. The consequences of high dose to OARs are xerostomia, Temporal lobe necrosis and loss of hearing. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare different treatment tech...
متن کاملReduced incidence of second solid tumors in survivors of childhood Hodgkin's lymphoma treated without radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND We assessed the risk of developing second malignancies in children treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), the majority of whom received chemotherapy only. PATIENTS AND METHODS The development of second malignancies in children with HL, treated between 1960 and 1999, was assessed. Results were obtained by both chart review and linkage with a centralized cancer registry. Tumor incidenc...
