Abstract:
Soundararajan et al (1) were able to demonstrate that combination therapy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation with rhenium 186 (186Re)--labeled liposomal doxorubicin resulted in better drug uptake and reduced tumor growth compared with other therapies tested in a rodent head and neck tumor model. In essence, this “triple” combination therapy of chemotherapy, radiation, and thermal ablation induced significantly smaller viable tumor volume compared with the therapies tested alone at histopathologic examination.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
