When less may be more: calorie restriction and response to cancer therapy
Calorie restriction (CR) extends lifespan and has been shown to reduce age-related diseases including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases in experimental models. Recent translational studies have tested the potential of CR or CR mimetics as adjuvant therapies to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and novel immunotherapies. Chronic CR is chal...

متن کاملHigh-dose antiangiogenic therapy for glioblastoma: less may be more?
Targeting angiogenesis in glioblastoma rapidly reduces vascular permeability and contrast enhancement on MRI and prolongs progression-free survival. The long-term efficacy of bevacizumab and other antiangiogenic agents is limited, however, because of the rapid development of resistance. Alternative dosing approaches may be one mechanism of prolonging therapeutic efficacy.
متن کاملAndrogen-deprivation therapy in men with metastatic prostate cancer: less may not necessarily be more.
I n a pivotal phase 3 randomized controlled trial, Hussain et al. tested the hypothesis that, with respect to survival, intermittent androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is non-inferior to continuous in men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. While the trial findings were statistically inconclusive, the study suggests, but does not prove, that intermittent may do more harm than good,...
