Title: Ancrages de tissus durs et dispositifs d'acheminement
Inventor: BURDULIS ALBERT G
IPC: A61B17/60
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur des dispositifs, systèmes et procédés pour ancrer des dispositifs médicaux à des tissus durs, comme des os ou des structures osseuses, en particulier des vertèbres. Le fait d'ancrer ces dispositifs médicaux directement au tissu dur environnant permet d'ancrer les dispositifs plus près de la source de traitement. Ceci assure une stabilité supplémentaire et réduit la migration du dispositif au niveau du site de traitement. De même, une fixation à un tissu dur plutôt qu'à un tissu mou est souvent plus solide.

Abstract: Chemotherapeutic treatment for certain cancers may be combined with low intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields that are tuned to a particular type of target cell. When the tuned fields were combined with Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin or Cyclophosphamide, excellent results were obtained against human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung (H1299) carcinomas in culture. More specifically, cell proliferation inhibition similar to that obtained by drug alone was reached by exposure to the combined treatment at drug concentrations between one and two orders of magnitude lower than for drug-only regimens of treatment.
