Alfacell ONCONASE seems a promising radiation sensitizer for lung cancer
Alfacell Corporation announced that Dr. Intae Lee of the University of Pennsylvania has reported that Alfacell’s ONCONASE (ranpirnase) could be a promising radiation sensitizer for lung cancer treatment. Dr. Lee presented the pre-clinical in vivo and in vitro data in a poster at the 2008 American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting being held during April 12 - 16 in San Diego. Dr. Lee provided pre-clinical evidence that ONCONASE +/- I-buthionine sulfoximide significantly increased the radiation-induced growth delay of lung tumors in vivo without increases in skin reaction, as compared to radiation alone.
