Moving Forward with Metronomic Chemotherapy: Meeting Report of the 2nd International Workshop on Metronomic and Anti-Angiogenic Chemotherapy in Paediatric Oncology

Original language description

Metronomic chemotherapy, which is defined by the frequent, repetitive administration of chemotherapeutic drugs at relatively low doses, and without prolonged drug-free break, is an emerging strategy to fight cancer. Initially thought to act by targetingtumor angiogenesis, additional mechanisms have been recently unveiled, and metronomic chemotherapy is now considered to represent a form of multitargeted therapy. Despite representing a genuine alternative for advanced and/or high-risk cancer therapy, the development of metronomic approaches in pediatric oncology still in the early stage. The few numbers of large-scale state-of-the-art clinical trials, issues regarding terminology and the limited understanding of the complex and intertwined mechanisms of action of metronomic treatments have limited progress in this important field of research.
