PURPOSE: The aim of our study was to determine if paclitaxel could be used as a radiosensitizer in vivo.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Paclitaxel was tested as a single agent and combined with an X-ray treatment. Paclitaxel was administered i.p. in doses from 30 to 120 mg/kg b.w. to (C3D2F1) mice bearing spontaneous mammary carcinoma. Tumor growth delay (TGD) or tumor control dose (TCD50, radiation dose needed to induce local tumor control in 50% of irradiated animals) and moist desquamation dose (MDD50, radiation dose needed to induce serious moist desquamation in 50% of the non-tumor-bearing feet) were the endpoints. DNA flow cytometric analysis was performed.
RESULTS: DNA analysis demonstrated a G2/M block of tumor cells and a depletion of cells in S phase, with a maximum at 24 h from paclitaxel administration. Administering paclitaxel, in graded doses, 15 min before a 10-Gy X-ray treatment resulted in a linear regression line, almost parallel to that with paclitaxel alone, with a growth delay of about 6 days. In contrast, varying the X-ray dose with a constant paclitaxel injection (45 mg/kg b.w.) treatment showed some degree of synergism as the linear regression curves diverged. Interval time and sequence between paclitaxel administration and a 10 Gy X-ray treatment did not influence TGD. Protocols with paclitaxel at 30, 45, or 60 mg/kg were combined with radiation treatments at various doses (from 10 to 65 Gy). Values of TCD50 varied from 50.8 Gy for X-ray alone to 31.8 Gy for paclitaxel 60 mg/kg + X-ray. No differences were observed among MDD of different protocols.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that, under some conditions, paclitaxel combined with radiation can show superadditive effects and this result combined with the lack of severe normal tissue damage indicate that a favorable therapeutic gain can be obtained.
