Medical doctors from the Burzynski Research Institute, Inc.
(BRI) and the Burzynski Clinic (BC) in Houston, Texas will present
case studies of patients with advanced liver and pancreatic cancers
who were treated with combination gene-targeted therapies. These
initial findings will be discussed at the 2009 International
Congress on Anti-Cancer Treatment at the Palais des Congres in
Paris, France from February 3rd-6th. The Congress is an
international educational and scientific meeting that gathers
together the world�s foremost scientists and oncology experts to
provide comprehensive updates in the management of cancer.
Barbara Burzynski, M.D., Robert Weaver, M.D., Eva Kubove, M.D.,
and Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D., will represent BRI and BC,
presenting two reports of early results of combination
gene-targeted agents in a specific group of patients treated at
BC.
Pancreatic cancer continues to create very difficult therapeutic
problems for clinicians. Standard chemotherapy has shown to be
limited in managing the disease for the longer-term. The report
being presented summarizes the initial effects of combination
gene-targeted therapies to treat eleven patients with advanced
pancreatic cancer, including a case study on a patient in complete
response seven months after the diagnosis of his disease.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary liver cancer that carries
nearly 100% mortality and has shown to be highly resistant to
conventional therapies. The discussion undertaken at the Congress
looks at preliminary findings across a group of seven patients
undergoing personalized treatment of their disease. Case reports
highlighted involve two patients diagnosed with hepatocellular
carcinoma who failed standard therapy; one of them relapsing post
liver transplant. Both patients have achieved complete
response.
�These cases require longer follow-up and confirmation in a
larger patient population. However, the early results are quite
compelling when you consider the deadly outcome of these advanced
liver and pancreatic cancers,� said Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D.,
Ph.D.
