Technical field

The application relates to and uses the nano-particle treatment comprise rapamycin or its derivant, stable, prevention and/or postpone method for cancer and compositions.The application also provides the combinational therapeutic methods of treatment cancer, and it comprises the nano-particle that contains rapamycin or its derivant and second therapy that gives individual effective dose.

Background

It is serious problems in the treatment of cancer that a large amount of tumors is not replied medicine and/or radiotherapy.In fact, although obtained some progress in the chemotherapy field, the problems referred to above are that the human cancer of many common form is still resisted the one of the main reasons that effective chemotherapy is intervened.

Now, mainly use a kind of in three kinds of therapies or unite and treat cancer: operation, radiation and chemotherapy.Operation is a traditional method, and wherein all or part of tumor is removed from body.Usually, operation is only effective than early-stage cancer to treatment.For example the tumor at breast, colon and skin place is effective sometimes though operation is positioned at some positions in removal, and it can not be used for the treatment of and is positioned at untouchable other the regional tumor of operator, can not be used for the treatment of dissemination tumor situation such as leukemia.For the cancer individuality more than 50%, they no longer are the candidates of effective operative treatment by diagnosis the time.Operation method can increase the intra-operative tumor by sanguimotor transfer.Most of cancer individualities are not to die from cancer when diagnosis or operation, but die from cancer metastasis and recurrence.

Other treatment also usually is invalid.Radiotherapy only shows as the effectively individual of clinical localization disease to the cancer early and middle portion, and for invalid with the terminal cancer that shifts.Radiotherapy generally is used to contain the localized area of the object body of abnormality proliferation sex organization, purpose be make the dosage maximization that abnormal structure absorbs and make near the dosage that absorbs of normal structure minimize.Yet giving abnormal structure with the therapeutic radiation selectivity is difficult (if not cannot).Therefore, in whole therapeutic process, also be exposed to the potential damage dosage of radiation with abnormal structure approaching normal structure.Therefore, radiotherapy technology destroys the effect of abnormality proliferation cell by near Normocellular relevant cell toxic action is cancelled.Therefore, radiotherapy technology has inherent narrow therapeutic index, and this makes most of tumors by insufficient treatment.Even best radiotherapy technology can cause also that incomplete tumor is dwindled, tumor recurrence, increase tumor load and induce the tumor that radiation is had resistance.

Chemotherapy comprises the destruction of cellular replication or cellular metabolism.Chemotherapy can be effectively, but has serious adverse, for example, feels sick, leukopenia, alopecia, loses weight and other toxic action.Because the side effect of extreme toxicity, many cancer individualities can not successfully be finished whole chemotherapy regimen.The quality of life of the inductive side effect appreciable impact of chemotherapy individuality, and can obviously influence individual compliance to treatment.In addition, relevant with chemotherapeutics adverse side effect generally is to give the main dose-limiting toxicity in these medicines (dose-limitingtoxicity).For example, mucositis is one of main dose-limiting toxicity of several anticarcinogens, and described anticarcinogen comprises 5-FU, methotrexate and antitumor antibiotics such as doxorubicin.If many in the inductive side effect of these chemotherapy seriously can cause hospitalization, perhaps need with the analgesic treatment with treatment pain.Certain cancers is individual owing to the Intolerance to chemotherapy is died from chemotherapy.The extreme side effect of anticarcinogen causes by the targeting specific of these medicines is bad.Medicine cycles through individual most of normal organs and target tumor.Cause the bad effect that also reduces chemotherapy of target-specific of side effect, because only some medicine is by correct targeting.The effect of chemotherapy is owing to the retentivity difference of anticarcinogen in the target tumor is further reduced.

Another problem relevant with chemotherapy is drug-fast development.Drug resistance is to give the title that disease does not respond to the situation of one or more medicines.Drug resistance can be inherent, this means that disease never produces a kind of medicine or multiple medicine to reply, and perhaps can be acquired, this means that disease stops this disease before produced its a kind of medicine of replying or multiple medicine to reply.The therapeutic alliance that has comprised combined chemotherapy has two kinds of possible benefits avoiding the resisting cell appearance and kill the cell that drug resistance is arranged of preexist.

Because the limitation of treatment of cancer at present, the order of severity of vegetation, tumor and cancer and range still exist significant interest and demand to treatment, stable, prevention and/or other or the optional therapy that postpone cancer.Preferably, this treatment overcomes the shortcoming of present operation, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
