Mesothelioma and Murine Models of Melanoma and Adenocarcinoma Another interesting study is called, "Efficacy of CD40 Ligand gene therapy in malignant Mesothelioma" - American Thoracic Society, New York, NY, ETATS-UNIS (1989) (Revue). Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Gene delivery of CD40 Ligand (CD40L) has shown promise in murine models of melanoma and adenocarcinoma; however, its potential for thoracic malignancies such as malignant mesothelioma remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that CD40L gene therapy would be effective in local and distant tumor suppression in mesothelioma using an immunocompetent murine model. Using a recombinant adenovirus encoding murine CD40L (AdCD40L), we demonstrated no suppression of in vitro cell growth for the AC29 (mesothelioma) cell line. However, inoculation of immunocompetent CBA/J mice with AC29 cells treated ex vivo with AdCD40L resulted in significant suppression of tumor formation in vivo when compared with controls (P < 0.001). Intratumoral inoculation of AdCD40L into previously established AC29 tumors yielded similar antitumor results and was associated with increased recruitment of intratumoral...more

Mesothelioma and Continuous Infusion Paclitaxel Administered with Large Field Irradiation Another interesting study is called, "Phase I study of paclitaxel as a radiation sensitizer in the treatment of mesothelioma and non-small-cell lung cancer" by LL Herscher, SM Hahn, G Kroog, H Pass, B Temeck, B Goldspiel, J Cook, JB Mitchell and J Liebmann Radiation Oncology Branch, Division of Cancer Treatment, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892 - Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol 16, 635-641. Here is an excerpt: "PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and dose- limiting toxicities of paclitaxel with concurrent thoracic irradiation in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using a 120-hour continuous infusion regimen. A secondary objective was to assess the effect of paclitaxel on the cell cycle through serial tumor biopsies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Paclitaxel was administered as a 120-hour (5-day) continuous infusion repeated every 3 weeks during the course of radiation therapy. The starting dose of paclitaxel was 90 mg/m2. Doses were escalated at 15- mg/m2 increments in successive cohorts...more
