## BACKGROUND. Basic fibroblast growth factor receptors on DU145 human prostatic carcinoma xenografts serve as targets for the delivery of a growth factor-toxin chimera, basic fibroblast growth factor-saporin (bFGF-SAP), which produces significant antitumor activity in a nude mouse model. However,
## BACKGROUND. Suramin, which binds to and blocks autocrine and paracrine growth factors required for the proliferation of neoplastic cells, is a clinically effective antitumor agent against some human tumors; however, efficacy often is limited by toxicity. In this study, suramin treatment was comb
