Multistep, effective drug distribution within solid tumors
The distribution of drugs within solid tumors presents a long-standing barrier for efficient cancer therapies. Tumors are highly resistant to diffusion, and the lack of blood and lymphatic flows suppresses convection. Prolonged, continuous intratumoral drug delivery from a miniature drug source offers an alternative to both systemic delivery and intratumoral injection. Presented here is a model...
متن کاملBarriers to drug delivery in solid tumors
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in the field of drug delivery. The advent of engineered nanoparticles has allowed us to circumvent the initial limitations to drug delivery such as pharmacokinetics and solubility. However, in spite of significant advances to tumor targeting, an effective treatment strategy for malignant tumors still remains elusive. Tumors possess distin...
متن کاملThe distribution of the anticancer drug Doxorubicin in relation to blood vessels in solid tumors.
PURPOSE Anticancer drugs gain access to solid tumors via the circulatory system and must penetrate the tissue to kill cancer cells. Here, we study the distribution of doxorubicin in relation to blood vessels and regions of hypoxia in solid tumors of mice. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The distribution of doxorubicin was quantified by immunofluorescence in relation to blood vessels (recognized by CD31) ...
متن کاملStrategies for Developing Effective Radioimmunotherapy for Solid Tumors I
Single-agent radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has proven efficacy as a treatment for hematological malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although promising, RIT has been less effective for solid tumors, in part because they are less radiosensitive. Bone marrow transplantation permits the administration of larger radiopharmaceutical doses, but the results of bone marrow transplantation-supp...
