Intra-arterial administration of adriamycin-loaded albumin microspheres for locally advanced breast cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regional chemotherapy is an attractive but underevaluated method of treating locally advanced breast cancer. We have combined two novel methods of targeting by delivering a single pulse of adriamycin-loaded albumin microspheres down a radiologically placed internal mammary artery catheter. A complete response was observed and prolonged local control achieved.

INTRODUCTION Taxanes have demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of breast cancer, the most common type of cancer in women. The toxicity profile of taxanes (including skin toxicities) induces dose adjustment, delay, or discontinuation, which prevents a sufficient dose intensity to achieve a response. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel, a solvent-free form of paclitaxel, prevents toxicit...

The in vitro degradation properties of glutaraldehyde cross-linked albumin and albumin-heparin conjugate microspheres (AMS and AHCMS respectively) were evaluated using light microscopy, turbidity measurements and heparin release determinations, showing that the microspheres are degraded by proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, proteinase K and lysosomal enzymes. The degradation rate was inversel...
متن کاملCross-resistance to Vincristin and Etoposide in a sub line of the human breast cancer T47D cells selected for Adriamycin-resistance
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women. Although chemotherapy remains a major therapeutic approach to treat cancers, drug therapy often fails for several reasons, particularly the drug resistance. Resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents is one of the most important problems in the treatment of different types of cancers. Therefore, in this study a resistant sub ...
