flucytosine and Cancer of Head

flucytosine has been researched along with Cancer of Head in 6 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.
flucytosine : An organofluorine compound that is cytosine that is substituted at position 5 by a fluorine. A prodrug for the antifungal 5-fluorouracil, it is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the majority of cases, HNSCC overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and its presence is associated with a poor outcome."1.38Chemovirotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with EGFR-targeted and CD/UPRT-armed oncolytic measles virus. ( Bossow, S; Grossardt, C; Kalle, Cv; Leber, MF; Plinkert, PK; Springfeld, C; Ungerechts, G; Zaoui, K, 2012)
"Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was permissive to green fluorescent protein expression in100% of cells by OncoVEX(GFP) at a multiplicity of infection of 1 after 48 hours and supported logarithmic viral replication."1.36Oncolysis using herpes simplex virus type 1 engineered to express cytosine deaminase and a fusogenic glycoprotein for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. ( Coffin, RS; Fong, Y; Han, Z; Li, S; Lin, SF; Price, DL; Simpson, G; Wong, J; Wong, RJ, 2010)
"In addition, when SCCVII murine squamous cell carcinoma cells were infected in vitro at low rates of infection (< or =10%) there was no significant cytotoxicity toward BCD-expressing cells while there was potent cytotoxicity to both YCD-expressing cells and "bystander cells" even at this low level of expression."1.30Enzyme/prodrug therapy for head and neck cancer using a catalytically superior cytosine deaminase. ( Fahmy, S; Hamstra, DA; Rehemtulla, A; Rice, DJ; Ross, BD, 1999)
"An orthotopic model of squamous cell cancer of the head and neck was used in vivo to study the CD/5-FC system both alone and with concurrent radiation due to the radiosensitizing properties that 5-FU generates in situ."1.30Combined radiation and enzyme/prodrug treatment for head and neck cancer in an orthotopic animal model. ( Hamstra, DA; Oyedijo, D; Pu, A; Rehemtulla, A; Rice, DJ; Ross, BD, 1999)
