  2. Metformin as a Novel Component of Metronomic Chemotherapeutic Use: A Hypothesis

    I agree with your hypothesis. Moreover, we are presently carrying out some preliminary experiments in murine breast cancer models pointing to demonstrate the utility of metronomic chemotherapy combined with metformin treatment.

      1. Metformin as a Novel Component of Metronomic Chemotherapeutic Use: A Hypothesis

        We dont’ have yet enough data to publish the results obtained. What I can say up to now is that combined oral administration of ciclophosphamide and metformin showed significant antitumor effect with a very significant increase in the animals’ survival and with no apparent toxicity, in a mammary adenocarcinoma tumor model. Those results will be presented in a scientific meeting very soon. Experiments for determinig mechanistic issues are planned but still lacking (...waiting for economic support).

  5. Shripad BANAVALI

    I need assistance to contact Dr Banavali. I am a patient of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia since October 2011,under treatment at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi. I am a female aged 54 years. I have become resistant to Imatinib and was advised to take Dasatinib. After taking Dasatinib 100mg for 2 months, my FISH BCR-ABL result showed 18.5% positivity, but now after total 4 months the results show 40% positivity.

    I would like to seek a consultation with Dr Banavali for my condition. Please assist to share his contact details.

    Thanks and regards

  6. More on propranolol and neuroblastoma

    Dear Friends,

    your message is encouraging. In my humble opininio, however, I believe we need good in vivo studies in models other than micew and occasional rats Surely humanized mice are informative but they are not enough.

    I wonder if you know of any labs that are testing the effect of propranolol on canine breast tumors - ,benign and malignant; .Breast cancer in dogs sis said to be 30 x more frequent than in women.

    To end this message, I dont have access to the Xu article,could you spare a pdf for me?

    thanks for your attention and keep the good work!

  9. Metronomic Chemotherapy vs Best Supportive Care in Progressive Pediatric Solid Malignant Tumors: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

    The design of this study really is a shame. We are still at phase 1 studies, or phase 2 at best for the protocol. That being the case they should test the protocol on cancers for which chemotherapy is known to be effective, as metronomic therapy is intended to make that available to a population of persons who otherwise can not tolerate the negative effects of chemo ... the purpose should not be to cure that which is not curable via standard chemo. It was a study designed to fail by not using the recommended test group. They never make this mistake when testing pharmaceutical company championed drugs. The stated conclusions for the study are also misleading and do not represent the fact that there was a positive response for those cancers that did not originate in the bone.
