The goal of this study was to compare, with a human tumor xenograft, two different strategies for increasing tumor response to fractionated irradiation, namely, oxygenating the hypoxic tumor cells with carbogen and nicotinamide, or killing these cells with the hypoxic cytotoxin, tirapazamine (TPZ).
Background. The role of cytokines in tumor regression is now well established. The major limitation for the clinical use of cytokines is the lack of a simple and effective protocol for the local and sustained delivery of cytokines to the tumor milieu. This study reports suppression of human head and
