Journal of Clinical Oncology David Andrews and colleagues from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, describe their novel implantation of IGF-IR/AS ODN-treated cells in patients studied 12 patients treated by surgery for malignant astrocytoma. collected at surgery were treated ex vivo with an IGF-IR/AS ODN and reimplanted in the rectus sheath Examination of the IGF-IR/AS ODN-treated cells after a 24-hour in situ IGF-IR was down regulated to 10% after ex vivo antisense treatment (J Clin Oncol 2001, suggests that ex vivo IGF-IR/AS ODN treatment of autologous glioma cells can induce apoptosis and an insulin-like growth factor type i receptor in malignant astrocytomas. 2.
