We are very honnored to welcome Pr. Bishnu D. Paudel from the National Academy of Medical Sciences in Kathmandu, Nepal. Pr Paudel is a pionner in palliative care in Nepal.
Read more about him in the People section.
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.
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).
I am very happy to read your articles it’s very useful for me,
and I am completely satisfied with your website.
All comments and articles are very useful and very good.
Your blog is very attention-grabbing. I am loving all of the in.
turn you are sharing with each one!….

I am quite interested in contacting Dr Fu. I wor as apediatric oncologist in Yucatan, Mexico, and I have an interest in pallliative care of leukemia in children.
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.
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!

thanks for your message.
Can you please provide your email address using our MGHI mail address (metronomicsGHI@gmail.com) so I can send the pdf file of the Xu and al. paper.
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.
Can I have a copy of the Agenda for the 6th International Metronomic Meeting? I was a presenter in the Short Communications section and would appreciate a copy of the brochure that lists names and presentation titles for Short Communication
it’s going to be future of oncology, in developing country
