Postby CRguy » Sun Dec 20, 2015 1:01 pm

FRIDAY, Dec. 11, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Vistogard (uridine triacetate) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat an overdose of chemotherapy drugs commonly used to treat cancers of the breast and gastrointestinal tract.
The drugs are fluorouracil and capecitabine. An overdose of either drug, while rare, can be life-threatening, the FDA said Friday in a news release.

Postby LeonW » Sun Dec 20, 2015 4:15 pm

Article in a newspaper today reported that one of our local cancer research centers (Rotterdam) has been successful in developing a drug that attaches to dead cells. This compound, will accumulate more in tumor than in surrounding cells. When made radioactive, it will cause the tumor to light up in a scan within two days after starting treatment, if effective. Field trials to commence mid-2016.
