Synergistic Antitumor Activity of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Gefitinib and IFN-α in Head and Neck Cancer Cells In vitro and In vivo

TL;DR: The observed cooperative antitumor effects could be, at least in part, explained by the inhibition exerted by gefitinib of an IFN-α-induced EGF-dependent survival pathway, which involves extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The farnesyl transferase inhibitor R115777 (Zarnestra) synergistically enhances growth inhibition and apoptosis induced on epidermoid cancer cells by Zoledronic acid (Zometa) and Pamidronate.

TL;DR: The combination of BPs and FTI leads to enhanced antitumor activity at clinically achievable drug concentrations that resides in the inhibition of farnesylation-dependent survival pathways and warrants further studies for clinical translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-dose metronomic oral administration of vinorelbine in the first-line treatment of elderly patients with metastatic breast cancer.

TL;DR: The fractionated administration of oral VNB is well tolerated and presents promising activity in elderly patients with metastatic cancer, warranting further investigation in combination with other chemotherapy agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slow Release Lanreotide in Combination with Interferon-α2b in the Treatment of Symptomatic Advanced Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

TL;DR: The combination of lanreotide with interferon had a major impact on clinical symptoms and was well tolerated and coupled with a decrease of 50% or more in serum calcitonin levels in three of seven patients.
