as cisplatin in reducing the volumes of the tumors, the team reports today in Cancer Research.
«Given that pemetrexed combined with cisplatin may be less toxic than and as active
as cisplatin plus paclitaxel and that it can be combined with bevacizumab, investigating the comparison of cisplatin - pemetrexed plus bevacizumab with cisplatin - paclitaxel plus bevacizumab would be the next appropriate step,» said Dr. Miller, who holds the Amy and Vernon E. Faulconer Distinguished Chair in Medical Science and the Dallas Foundation Chair in Gynecologic Oncology.

Aerosol administration was performed
as follows, the residual cup was filled with 8mls of the
cisplatin agent and the nebulisation time was 10 minutes (almost 1 ml / minute)
as observed from our previous studies.14 The aerosol was delivered to the mice (one by one) within a nose only cage that has been previously presented.34 In the groups receiving the intratumoral
cisplatin an insulin injection was used to deliver the 2mls of
cisplatin within the tumor in different depths, however; a quantity of the drug when the injection was made superficially was lost since it was not accumulated.
The mice were divided into six groups
as follows: a) control group (no therapy), b) only gene therapy inhalation, c) aerosol gene therapy plus aerosol
