Possible synergy of radiotherapy and chemo-immunotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Bone metastases or local recurrences are widely viewed as poor prognostic signs for successful immunotherapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and even partial remission is a rarity. We assessed the efficacy of the combination of radio and chemo-immunotherapy for bone metastases or local recurrences form RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS:From February 1994 until September 1997 twelve patients with progressive renal cell carcinoma (9 with bone metastases and 3 with local recurrence) were treated with a combination of chemo-immunotherapy and radio therapy. RESULTS:Four out of twelve patients achieved complete remission (CR), one patient had a partial remission (PR), three were stable and four had disease progression under radio therapy and chemo-immunotherapy. Yet three pts. died of the disease. The toxicity symptoms according to WHO ranged between grade 2 and grade 3. CONCLUSION:Our data suggest that the combination of radio therapy and chemo-immunotherapy may induce a synergistic antitumor effect for the treatment of bone metastases or local recurrences from renal cell carcinoma.

  • In vitro and in vivo interactions of D-penicillamine with tumors.

    abstract::D-penicillamine (PSH) is a copper chelator that generates hydrogen peroxide and inhibits neovascularization. As hydrogen peroxide is toxic to some tumor cells and to blood vessels, we reasoned that PSH plus copper would inhibit tumors in vivo and in vitro. To test this hypothesis, we first incubated murine J558L plasm...
