RE: 100x more Dox in Tumor vs Plasma2 Jul 2024 12:36
Thorn I hope you're getting paid per post. You said earlier, dox will be dox. Dox is cleared from the body in 24-48 hours. We had huge amounts in the TME after 24 hours so as you said dox will behave like dox. We are getting more dox into the tumour and it remained there after 24 hours so bodes well.
Doxorubicin, also known as Adriamycin or Rubex, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, Wilms’ tumor, neuroblastoma, sarcoma, breast, gastric, bladder, lung, and thyroid cancer1. It works by interrupting DNA copying in cancer cells, leading to their death and slowing or stopping tumor growth. When administered intravenously, doxorubicin may cause a feeling of burning and pain. The medication is cleared from your body within 1-2 days after each dose, and you may notice orange or reddish urine during that time2. If you experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or irregular heartbeats, seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, certain foods and medications can affect its blood levels and effectiveness, so be cautious and inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take1. Remember to follow your care team’s guidance and report any concerning side effects.
