We demonstrate in vitro that the enhancing effect of increased temperature on the cytotoxicity of etoposide on neuroblastoma cells is not absent, but depends on scheduling. The temperature range used is achievable in total body hyperthermia. Thus, our results are relevant for possible treatment of disseminated neuroblastoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
