BROMODEOXYURIDINE AND RADIATION FOR CANCER OF LIVER AND/OR BILE DUCTS

肝癌经常发生，是发病率和死亡率的主要来源 死亡率。更有效的治疗方法将提供显著的 为许多患者提供姑息治疗，并可能治愈少数患者中的一部分 癌症完全局限于肝脏。这项调查研究 将技术最先进的放射治疗与直接 一种有效的放射增敏剂在肝脏治疗中的应用 癌症。所采取的方法是基于广泛的临床前研究。 以及作为正在进行的计划项目拨款的一部分资助的临床研究。

Liver cancers occur frequently and are a major source of morbidity and mortality. More effective treatment methods would provide significant palliation for many patients and possibly cure some of the few patients with cancer totally confined to the liver. This investigational study combines the most technologically advanced radiotherapy with direct administration of a potent radiosensitizer in the treatment of liver cancer. The approach taken is based upon extensive prior preclinical and clinical studies funded as part of an ongoing Program Project Grant.
