Kombinierte Anwendung von Strahlentherapie und adjuvanter Therapie mit einem Mistelextrakt (<b><i>Viscum album </i></b>L.) zur Behandlung des oralen malignen Melanoms beim Hund: Eine retrospektive Studie

Abstract: Hintergrund: Orale maligne Melanome (OMM) des Hundes zeichnen sich durch schnelles Wachstum, lokale Invasion und hohe Metastasierungsraten aus. Extrakte auf Basis von Viscum album L. (VAE) werden zunehmend in der Krebstherapie sowohl in der Human- als auch in der Veterinärmedizin eingesetzt. Ziel unserer Studie war es zu untersuchen, inwieweit die adjuvante Therapie mit VAE eine therapeutische Option zur Behandlung von OMM ist. Besonderes Augenmerk galt dabei der Überlebenszeit und möglichen Nebenwirkungen. Ti… Show more

“…Treatment with mistletoe in human patients in the clinical setting has been associated with mild but not limiting side effects, including headache, fever, chills, and soreness and inflammation at the injection site [62][63][64]. Dogs in the previously mentioned oral melanoma studies occasionally had similar transient side effects at the highest doses [6]. Less common but more serious effects in humans include circulatory issues, swelling of lymph nodes, allergic reactions, and increased intracranial pressure, which could be a limiting factor in treating glioma patients [65].…”

“…There are currently no studies examining mistletoe in canine cancer patients in the English literature. In published German language-only studies of Viscum album use in canine cancer patients [5,6], there were statistically significant survival benefits in canine patients with oral melanoma treated with radiation and Viscum album with doses ranging from 0.1 to 20 mg subcutaneously three times per week for the entire survival time (up to 4 years); survival in canine mammary carcinoma patients treated with surgery and mistletoe vs. surgery alone was not statistically significantly improved but showed a trend toward improvement. In the Italian languageonly literature there is a study evaluating the use of mistletoe in dogs with transmissible venereal tumor that showed a reduction in vincristine dose in dogs being treated with Viscum album [53].…”

“…Combination therapy of RFA with different immune-stimulatory agents showed promising results[25,26]. The combination of VAE with radiation - which, like RFA, leads to cell damage and to a release of antigens - proved to be more effective than radiation alone in animal studies[27,28]. VAE shows several immune-stimulating properties like proliferation induction and increase of antigen presentation of dendritic cells, proliferation of CD4 + T cells, increase of natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and release of cytokines[14].…”

“…In dieser Studie wurde bei der prospektiven Studiengruppe auch die Lebensqualität erfasst. Die zweite Studie, eine retrospektive monozentrische Studie mit Kontrollgruppe, befasste sich mit einer deutlich selteneren, aber im Vergleich zu Mammatumoren erheblich maligneren Tumorerkrankung des Hundes: dem oralen malignen Melanom [12]. Hier kommt die Misteltherapie in der Tiermedizin normalerweise adjuvant zur Strahlentherapie zum Einsatz.…”
