Abstract:

Objectives: The monitoring of cancer treatment response to chemotherapy is considered an essential strategy for follow-up of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of 99mTc-glucarate as a radiotracer for in vivo quantification and visualization of necrotic area and therapeutic effect of paclitaxel in ovarian cancer xenografted nude mice. Materials and Methods: After implantation of human ovarian cancer (SKOV-3) in nude mice, tumor xenografted mice were enrolled in two groups as control and treatment (paclitaxel) groups. 99mTc-glucarate uptakes were quantified in tumors of control and treatment groups and also tumor imaging was performed with a gamma camera. The necrotic and viable areas of tumor and tumoral masses were evaluated through histopathological and macroscopic observations, respectively. Results: 99mTc-glucarate uptake in tumor of treatment group was higher than control group.99mTc-glucarate uptake in ovarian tumor was clearly visualized with gamma imaging in both groups, but paclitaxel treated group showed higher radioactive uptake than control mice. The necrotic area in tumoral mass of mice treated with paclitaxel was confirmed by histopathological observations. Conclusion: 99mTc-glucarate is an effective radiotracer for evaluation and monitoring of tumor necrosis caused by chemotherapy, and it may be helpful for therapy monitoring in patients with cancer.

Intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel in ovarian cancer.

BACKGROUND Standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed ovarian cancer is a platinum-taxane combination. The Gynecologic Oncology Group conducted a randomized, phase 3 trial that compared intravenous paclitaxel plus cisplatin with intravenous paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with stage III ovarian cancer. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with stage III ov...

Emodin sensitizes paclitaxel-resistant human ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in vitro.

Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecologic malignancies in the world, and the development of drug resistance is a major impediment toward successful treatment of the desease. Emodin has been reported to sensitize human tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents. The present study investigated whether emodin could overcome chemoresistance of A2780/taxol cells. Cells were treated...
