11. His team had previously shown that if they put the whole chromosome into these brain tumor cells in a lab dish, it blocked tumor growth. 12. In mice that had very drug-resistant tumors, standard treatment with Cytoxan caused only a small delay in tumor growth. 13. In tests on rodents, the drugs halted tumor growth without killing normal cells or causing toxic side effects. 14. In such cases, the goal is to slow the tumor growth by reducing testosterone levels, through either removing the testicles or giving hormone-suppressing medications. 15. It also could raise estrogen levels, which increase tumor growth, or enable cancer cells to invade the surrounding tissue easily. 16. It has slowed tumor growth without major side effects, they said. 17. It echoed a raft of other investigations, and research on rodents suggests that aspirin may inhibit an enzyme needed to synthesize chemicals that may stimulate tumor growth. 18. Medical experts already knew that Zoladex, which reduces testosterone output, prolongs the benefits of radiation and stifles tumor growth stimulated by the hormone. 19. Milner has also studied five human tumors in laboratory cultures and has shown that one garlic compound, diallyl disulfide, is very effective in inhibiting tumor growth. 20. Plasminogen does nothing to stop tumor growth. |
