' Undermine inhibitor of apoptosis<br />

• Try new antimetabolites & antifols as well as new<br />

alkylators & topoisomerase inhibitors<br />

• Treat patients with ovarian cancer in CR1<br />

« Use immunotherapy: vaccines, donor lymphocyte<br />

infusions (DLI), dendritic cells loaded with tumor-<br />

specific antigens<br />

• Evaluate: hyperthermia, thalidomide, rationally designed<br />

drugs<br />

• Consider brain RT for small cell lung cancer, breast<br />

cancer<br />

• Use Ara-C, BCNU, methotrexate, Etc. in HDRx<br />

1<br />

Compare with "total rx" plan for myeloma pre-HDRx<br />

• Deliver to sites where >10 10<br />

cells may still remain<br />

• Treat because up to 10 10<br />

cells may easily be left in body<br />

1<br />

Compare with alpha-interferon for CML after HDRx<br />

' Evaluate rationally designed drugs, e.g., anti-Her2Neu<br />

antibody Rx<br />

• Try "t<strong>and</strong>em" HDRx, multiple courses of intermediate<br />

dose Rx<br />

» Recruit & synchronize cells into S1/M/S2 phase<br />

• Explore something like bcr/abl thymidine kinase inhibitor<br />

in CML<br />

Deliver drugs such as amifostine, IL-11, etc. Rizzoli (for PBSC harvest)<br />

• Give more drugs in vivo<br />

• Use CD34 column<br />

• Use anti-NBL magnetic beads<br />

• Use hypoxic sensitizer for RT <strong>and</strong> maybe for<br />

chemotherapy, too<br />

• Try anti-angiogenesis factors<br />

• Growth factors (GF), Chemo-GF PBSC, GF-bone <strong>marrow</strong><br />

• Use quinolones <strong>and</strong> fluconazole<br />
