taxol/breast neoplasms

Aneuploidy is a characteristic of human cancers, and recent studies have suggested that defects of mitotic checkpoints play a role in carcinogenesis. Mitotic Arrest Deficient-Like 1 (MAD1L1), whose altered expression is associated with chromosomal instability, is a checkpoint gene. We examined

BACKGROUND Sensitivity of breast tumors to anticancer drugs depends upon dynamic interactions between epithelial tumor cells and their microenvironment including stromal cells and extracellular matrix. To study drug-sensitivity within different compartments of an individual tumor ex vivo, culture

BACKGROUND Taxol is a microtubule stabilizing agent that arrests cells in mitosis leading to cell death. Taxol is widely used to treat breast cancer, but resistance occurs in 25-69% of patients and it is vital to understand how Taxol resistance develops to improve chemotherapy. The effects of

Monoclonal antibody therapy may provide new treatment options in the management of metastatic breast cancer by selectively targeting tumors and producing a therapeutic effect, by delivering radiation or other toxins directly to tumor cells, or by producing an intrinsic immune inflammatory response.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the reversal effect of Celecoxib and Taxol on multidrug resistance (MDR) human breast cancer cells (MCF-7/Taxol) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS After establishing the resistance cell lines of human breast cancer on Taxol (MCF-7/Taxol), the effects of the drugs on the

BACKGROUND Among the presently available cytotoxic drugs, paclitaxel, in combination with doxorubicin and carboplatin, come under the highly active therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Between the two brands of paclitaxel (Intaxel, which is marketed by Fresenius Kabi and Taxol, the original

Paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ), the first taxane to enter routine clinical practice, has aroused considerable interest due to its novel mechanism of action and its significant activity in metastatic breast cancer. Given this activity, it seemed logical to attempt to

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects and side effects of paclitaxel liposome formula on breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, compared with traditional taxol. METHODS 129 patients from multicenters were prospectively randomized into a test group, given paclitaxel liposome at 135 mg/m(2) each

Because breast cancer cells often express either Her2/neu or carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or both, these tumor markers are good targets for radioimmunotherapy using Y-90-labeled antibodies. We performed studies on nude mice bearing xenografts from MCF7, a cell line that has low Her2 and CEA

Multidrug resistance of tumours is one of the most important factors that leads to chemotherapy failure. A multidrug-resistant breast cancer cell line, MCF-7/Taxol, was established from the drug-sensitive parent cell line MCF-7. The biological properties of MCF-7/Taxol, including its drug resistance

We assessed the efficacy of paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) when administered by 3-hour intravenous infusion in 15 patients with advanced breast cancer resistant to anthracyclines. Paclitaxel was administered at 175 mg/m2. In the event of severe toxicity, dose

A paclitaxel injection NK (NK) is a generic product containing the same amount of ingredient as a Taxol Injection. We examined the pharmacokinetics and safety of NK compared to the original product in breast cancer patients. As a result, the transition of plasma paclitaxel concentration and

Synergistic multimodality therapy is needed for breast cancer. Breast cancer frequently has p53 mutations that result in cells less likely to undergo apoptosis when exposed to DNA damaging therapies. Taxol (paclitaxel) is more effective in the presence of mutant p53. (90)Y-labeled DOTA-peptide-ChL6

OBJECTIVE To assess the response rate, survival, and toxicity of Taxol (paclitaxel) as 1-h infusion plus doxorubicin as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). METHODS Seventy-six patients with untreated MBC were recruited. All of them had measurable disease and were

Based on phase II and III trials Taxol administered in the form of three times/week 1 or 3 hr infusion as mono-or combined chemotherapy of breast cancer is an effective treatment option. These studies proved that this form of drug delivery is effective and well tolerated and the overall response
