    Schizophyllan (SPG) combined with chemotherapy shows promise for cancer treatment. Simultaneous administration of SPG with antitumor drugs enhanced therapeutic effects in experimental tumors, suggesting a useful immunochemotherapy approach.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pharmacology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Schizophyllan (SPG) is a polysaccharide with known immunomodulatory properties.
    • Evaluating SPG in combination with chemotherapy is crucial for optimizing cancer treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of immunochemotherapy using schizophyllan (SPG) combined with chemotherapeutic agents.
    • To investigate the therapeutic effects of SPG in two distinct syngeneic mouse tumor models.

    Main Methods:

    • Two syngeneic mouse tumor models (MM 46 mammary carcinoma and X-5563 plasmacytoma) were utilized.
    • Schizophyllan (SPG) was administered alone and in combination with neocarzinostatin or mitomycin C.
    • Tumor growth inhibition and survival rates were monitored to evaluate therapeutic responses.

    Main Results:

    • SPG alone significantly inhibited MM 46 mammary carcinoma growth, with optimal effects at advanced tumor stages.
    • Combining SPG with neocarzinostatin yielded optimal therapeutic responses in MM 46 tumors.
    • SPG alone was ineffective against X-5563 plasmacytoma, but its combination with mitomycin C significantly prolonged survival.

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous administration of SPG with chemotherapeutic agents is a potentially effective strategy for immunochemotherapy.
    • The combination approach demonstrated enhanced therapeutic outcomes in experimental tumor models.
    • This study suggests a promising application method for SPG in cancer treatment.
