fibrosarcoma/fever

The inhibitory effects of substituted nitro- and sulphobenzofurazans on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis were compared in a new malignant fibrosarcoma cell line at 37 degrees C and 41 degrees C. The effects of these drugs with and without mild hyperthermia were evaluated by determining the %

Hyperthermia (temperatures greater than or equal to 42 degrees C) is used clinically to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy and, although therapeutic gains have been reported, efficacy is limited when tumours are large and/or radiation tolerance is reduced. In order to improve the utility

The thermosensitivity and chemosensitivity of fibrosarcomas of C3H/He mouse were investigated using the subrenal capsule assay with female ICR mice as host. Five typical chemotherapeutic drugs (mitomycin C, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil, cis-DDplatinum and cyclophosphamide) tested were effective in

The effects of single and multiple fractionated whole body hyperthermia (WBH) 41.5 degrees C on benzo(a) pyrene induced fibrosarcoma of mice were evaluated in terms of tumour response and systemic alterations of the host. While single exposure of WBH(S) 2 hrs, caused moderate inhibition of tumours

Ten dogs with oral or external nasal fibrosarcoma were treated sequentially with orthovoltage radiation and radiofrequency (RF)-induced hyperthermia. Total radiation doses ranged from 3,200 to 4,800 rad given in 8 to 12 fractions of 400 rad. Immediately after 2 to 4 radiation treatments,

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of timing and sequence of hyperthermia on fractionated radiotherapy, since it has been shown that the heat increases the size of hypoxic cell fraction which could affect the effect of subsequent radiation doses. METHODS Animal-tumors were early generation

The tumoricidal activities of single dose x-irradiation (RAD) and concomitant Actinomycin D (AMD) with or without local tumor hyperthermia (LTH) on an in vivo Methylcholanthreme-induced fibrosarcoma (Meth-A) are described. The addition of LTH enhanced the actions of AMD, RAD and AMD + RAD; the

The effects of SR-4233 (3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-dioxide), a hypoxic cell cytotoxic agent, were assayed against the FSaIIC murine fibrosarcoma in vitro and in vivo alone and in conjunction with hyperthermia and radiation. In vitro, a concentration of 500 microM of SR-4233 upon exposure of the

In this study we used alkaline elution to examine DNA damage produced in two murine fibrosarcomas after hyperthermia (42 degrees C), with or without preinduced hyperglycemia. The work was stimulated by a recent report that pretreatment of mice with glucose prior to hyperthermia decreased the growth

We have evaluated the combination of the radiosensitizing and bioreductive alkylating agent RSU-1069 with hyperthermia and radiation in an attempt to improve the potential effectiveness of hyperthermia and radiation against locally advanced malignancies. In vitro studies in FSaIIC murine

The significance of time-dose relationships in the use of local tumor hyperthermia (LTH) when combined with radiation (RAD) was studied in a murine fibrosarcoma. RAD, either alone or combined with LTH, was delivered in four equal fractions (total doses, 1.8 to 4.2 krad) separated by 1 to 4 days. LTH

The exposure of normal mice to whole body hyperthermia (1 h WBH at 39 or 40 degrees C), 20 or 48 h prior to total body irradiation (TBI) with lethal doses of gamma-rays affords significant protection as assessed by survival. The radioprotective effect of WBH, as observed in normal mice, diminished

The present animal tumour study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of low temperature hyperthermia combined with low dose rate radiation based on the cell culture studies of our laboratory and others that demonstrated a significant radiosensitization obtained by low temperature

The effect of combined cyclophosphamide (CY) and heat treatments on a murine tumor was studied at various temperatures. FSa-II tumors, the early generation isotransplants of a spontaneous fibrosarcoma in a C3Hf/Sed mouse, were used. A single cell suspension was transplanted into the animal foot.

Two distinct photodynamic therapy-resistant variants of the murine radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF) cell line have been isolated. One strain displayed relative resistance over the parental RIF-1 strain to treatment with the porphyrin-based compound, polyhaematoporphyrin (PHP), whereas the other
