Establishment of a Human Multiple Myeloma Xenograft Model in the Chicken to Study Tumor Growth, Invasion and Angiogenesis
Published on: May 1, 2015
Abstract:
The effects of eight different drug combinations were evaluated in 256 patients with multiple myeloma. The response rate and time to remission were superior from regimens that added both vincristine and Adriamycin (doxorubicin) to an alkylating agent-prednisone combination. There was no improvement in response rate or survival time from two alternating drug combinations evaluated in an attempt to achieve more marked tumor reductions and to delay the emergence of resistant subclones. The addition of levamisole during remission maintenance did not improve survival time. Results supported the utility of unmaintained remission follow-up in selected patients with marked reductions in myeloma cell mass.

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...
