as cisplatin in reducing the volumes of the tumors, the team reports today in Cancer Research.
In the current work we used adenoviral - type 5 (dE1 / E3)(Cytomegalovirus promoter) with human ABCA10 transgene (Ad - h - ABCA10) purchased from Vector Labs ® in order to investigate whether gene therapy can be used as a pre-treatment to enhance the efficiency of
inhaled cisplatin.
The chemotherapeutic effect of
cisplatin combined with the radiosensitizing effect of gold nanoparticles resulted in enhanced synergy enabling a more effective cellular damage.
«We were involved in the development and testing of several drugs commonly used to treat the disease
including cisplatin and carboplatin.
Zuo and colleagues identified multiple compounds that protected cochlear cells
from cisplatin, several of which are already approved to treat other conditions.
A chemotherapeutic drug
called Cisplatin along with radiation treatment is thought to be helpful in cases where the tumor is inoperable because of location.
They used this method first in 2015 to generate a UV repair map of the human genome, and in 2016 they used the XR - seq method to generate the damage and repair maps of the
anticancer cisplatin drug for the entire human genome.
Compared with a normal mouse cochlea (top),
cisplatin exposure reduces the number of outer hair cells (middle).
Adding cisplatin to the standard gemcitabine / nab - paclitaxel drug treatment provided a very high rate of tumor shrinkage for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, according to the results of a pilot clinical trial conducted by the HonorHealth Research Institute and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).
«We don't propose this as a current diagnostic or prognostic tool,» Costello says, «but showing that these alterations have real effect in human tumors allows us to explore the mechanisms that tumors use to resist therapies
like cisplatin.»
A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin
vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors
Mifepristone prevents repopulation of ovarian cancer cells
escaping cisplatin - paclitaxel therapy.

Research Paper Yangyin Fuzheng Decoction enhances anti-tumor efficacy of
cisplatin on lung cancer Dongmei Wei, Lin Wang, Yuhan Chen, Gang Yin, Mei Jiang, Rui Liu, Hong Chen, Xiyuan Sun J. Cancer 2018; 9 (9): 1568 - 1574.
MIT's new nanoparticle carries three cancer - fighting drug molecules — doxorubicin is red, the small green particles are camptothecin, and the larger green core
contains cisplatin (Image: Jeremiah Johnson)
The researchers are now testing new ways to decrease these side effects, including substituting paclitaxel (Taxol), which causes fewer side effects, for the highly
toxic cisplatin.
In A427 cells, PARP cleavage was detected in STAT6 DN cells at 50 μM of
cisplatin compared to control cells at 100 μM, whereas in H2122, it was 250 μM versus 500 μM.
Importantly,
cisplatin toxicity and Pgp efflux transporter activity measured on - chip more closely mimic the in vivo responses than results obtained with cells maintained under conventional culture conditions.
Veterinarians are now able to place
tiny cisplatin - impregnated beads around the tumor site.
The limitations of the chemo beads
Although cisplatin beads are often effective at preventing or slowing the cancer from coming back, they do not prevent spreading (metastasis), e.g. to the lungs.
Using chemotherapeutic drugs such as Adriomycin,
Vinblastine Cisplatin, and Carboplatin has also yielded disappointing results.
Implantable cisplatin chemotherapy has been used to treat dogs with osteosarcoma with encouraging results.
The sponge is a biodegradable polymer, which slowly breaks down in the body,
releasing cisplatin in very high concentrations to the tissues in the surgery site.
Adjunct chemotherapy regimens typically include the widely - used
agent Cisplatin, which improves the effectiveness of the radiation, and helps kill cells that have left the primary radiation site.
The silver complexes proved to be as effective
as cisplatin in attacking both types of cancer cells.
