METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING NEUROBLASTOMA IN A JUVENILE MAMMALIAN BODY
Last updated:
Abstract:
Neuroblastoma is a tumor primarily affecting children. The current standard of care is not curative except in the rare case of a surgically-resectable lesion, although very high survival rates have been documented for low-risk neuroblastoma and moderate-risk neuroblastoma. Taurolidine was developed as an anti-infective, but it has been found to have surprising oncolytic activity in cell cultures and now in a rodent cancer model. This invention relates to the use of taurolidine for the treatment of neuroblastoma in juvenile mammals.
