metronidazole and Carcinoma, Epidermoid

metronidazole has been researched along with Carcinoma, Epidermoid in 36 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

"Proceeding from the clinical observation of 11 patients with cancer of the tongue, oral mucosa and stomatopharynx who received gamma-beam therapy according to the scheme of dynamic fractionation combined with metronidazole, it has been concluded that the drug enhances the degree of radiation injury of the above tumors."1.27[Cell kinetics of oral cancer during gamma teletherapy in combination with the administration of metronidazole]. ( Dar'ialova, SL; Karakulov, RK; Kiseleva, ES; Pelevina, II; Poliakov, PIu, 1983)

"An unusually advanced case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lip is presented."1.26Carcinoma of the lip--a case presentation. ( Lawson, VG; Rider, WD, 1978)
"Metronidazole was administered orally to 25 patients and its maximum concentration in blood and tumor tissues, its ability to cross the blood/brain barrier and concentrate in the cerebrospinal fluid and brain tumor tissue, its immediate and long-term toxicity, and its enhancement of irradiation in normal tissue were studied."1.25Phase 1 study of high-dose metronidazole: a specific in vivo and in vitro radiosensitizer of hypoxic cells.
