The problem is, when we treat cancer cells with chemotherapy, the cancer stem cells are being stimulated to grow too. When we take mesenchymal stem cells and mix them with tumor cells, the tumors grow much more quickly in animals.

Cancer expert tells how treatment can be problem


Wednesday, February 24, 2010 By Mark Roth, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Max Wicha: Hopes cancer treatments can avoid general chemo altogether and just use targeted therapies against the stem cells. Max Wicha is coming to Pittsburgh today to deliver a startling message. Standard cancer treatments not only often fail to eradicate cancer, but can make it worse. That argument isn't coming from a fringe proponent of alternative medicine, but from the founder of the University of Michigan's Comprehensive Cancer Center and a pioneer in research on why cancers recur and spread to other parts of the body.

..treatment is a problem (cont.)


The reason breast cancer and other malignancies often return aggressively after treatment is that when tumor cells die under assault from chemotherapy and radiation, they give off substances that can reactivate a special set of master cells known as cancer stem cells, Dr. Wicha said in an interview Tuesday. Dr. Wicha's lab has found that inflammatory molecules secreted by dying tumor cells can hook up with the stem cells and cause them in effect to come out of hibernation.

..treatment is a problem (cont.)


Adult stem cells exist in most tissues, and go into action to repair damage from wounds or infections. In cancer, they can mutate and no longer obey normal bodily signals to stop growing, Dr. Wicha said. He and other researchers say that even when chemotherapy and radiation cause tumors to shrink dramatically, these stem cells can stay alive, living under the radar until they are once again spurred into action.
The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

..treatment is a problem (cont.)


They also believe stem cells are probably the ones that break away from an original tumor and cause cancer to spread elsewhere in the body. Chemo and radiation kill off the fastest-growing cells in the body, which applies to most cancer cells, but the cancer stem cells that create those rapidly dividing tumor cells actually grow much more slowly themselves, and are less susceptible to those therapies, he said. One tactic to address this problem is to kill off both types of cancer cells at once, Dr. Wicha said.
The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

..treatment is a problem (cont.)


A recent experimental trial with advanced breast cancer patients at the University of Michigan, Baylor University in Texas and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard University used standard chemotherapy along with a substance designed to block one of the biochemical pathways of stem cells. The approach killed off more than 90 percent of the cancer stem cells, Dr. Wicha said, and researchers now hope to expand the treatment to a much larger group of patients.

..treatment is a problem (cont.)


Ultimately, he hopes cancer treatments can avoid general chemo altogether, with its debilitating side effects, and just use targeted therapies against the stem cells. There is still a long road ahead, he said, and "my feeling is, to really knock these stem cells out, we're probably going to have to use multiple inhibitors.

The Public retraction


Cancer patients, follow recommended care!

An article published by the Post-Gazette claimed that our research suggests cancer treatments "not only often fail to eradicate cancer, but can make it worse" This statement has been misinterpreted by patients currently receiving radiation or chemotherapy treatments. I have been contacted by both my own patients and Pittsburgharea patients who have questioned whether they should continue with their chemotherapy. In fact, these treatments are lifesaving for many patients.
The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

Retraction

(cont.)

Our work does suggest that the resistance of a small population of tumor cells to these treatments may account for some of their limitations. Based on this, we are working to develop new approaches to target this specific cell population -- treatments that could augment chemotherapy and radiation therapy. New treatments based on this theory are in their early testing stages. Only through the conduct of rigorous clinical trials will we be able to determine whether addition of these new therapies improves the outcome for patients with cancer. In the meantime, patients diagnosed with cancer need to follow their doctors' recommendations for treatment according to the current standards of care and inquire whether they are eligible for a clinical trial.

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

Per Prof. Max Wicha, M.D.


Chemotherapy increases numbers of dangerous cancer stem cells by increasing cytokines like IL-8 so that cancer stem cell cannot differentiate *, which cause treatment resistance.
The goal is to combine chemotherapy with adjunctive therapies which prevent increase of cytokines (like IL-8) when tumors are attacked with chemotherapy or radiation (and IPT).
* If they would differentiate, they would become susceptible to chemotherapy again

What is Cancer?
Cancer is understood to be unregulated cells proliferating autonomously within the human being either in humoral or tumorous form. (Query: Are these aggressive or confused cells?)

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

What is a Tumor?
A tumor, benign or malignant, is a proliferation of cells of which, in the case of a malignant cancer, less than 1% of which are dangerous.

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

Interesting Fact
99.1% - 99.6% of the tumor cells are NOT dangerous (aside from steric, obstructive factors).

Similarly, usually less than 1% of primary tumor cells cultured in vitro can give rise to colonies.

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

What metastasizes?

Stem cells!
tumor cells are heterogeneous in their capacity to give rise to tumors upon transplantation or to form colonies in culture assays. For in vivo tumor transplantation, this is reflected in the large numbers of tumor cells that must usually be transplanted to form a tumor. For primary human and mouse tumors, this number often resides in the thousands or millions. (ibid Diehn et al)

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

Only stem cells metastasize


Considerable evidence suggests that tumors contain only a minority of cells which are capable of regrowing the tumor (ie. tumor stem cells). Since all tumor stem cells must be killed if treatment is to be successful, the number of stem cells in a tumor can be expected to be an important determinant of curability.

Normal Tissue Stem Cells resist Chemotherapy


A large number of the most frequently used therapies for cancer induce cell death by inducing DNA damage. These agents are also toxic to normal stem cells and their progeny. Fortunately, normal stem cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to protect themselves from toxins and genotoxic stress, which make them relatively resistant to cell killing with cytotoxic agents. (ibid Diehn et al)

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

All Stem Cells resist chemotherapy


The apparent similarities between normal tissue stem cells (NTSC) and cancer stem cells (CSC) led to the hypothesis that CSC may be relatively resistant to common chemotherapeutic agents compared to their more differentiated non-tumorigenic counterparts and that improvements in patient outcomes might be achieved by directly targeting CSC . Mounting evidence suggests that this is the case. (ibid Diehn et al)

Cancer stem cells are resistant to chemotherapy


The apparent similarities between normal stem cells and CSC led to the hypothesis that CSC may be relatively resistant to common chemotherapeutic agents compared to their more differentiated non-tumorigenic counterparts and that improvements in patient outcomes might be achieved by directly targeting CSC. Mounting evidence suggests that this is the case. Recent studies have shown that cancer stem cell-like cells present in some established cell lines and in long-term xenografts appear to be relatively resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapeutics.

and Cancer Stem Cells are resistant to Radiation Therapy also


Thus, CSC in some tumors appear to be resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapies. As is discussed elsewhere in this issue, CSC in some tumors also appear to be resistant to radiotherapy. These findings suggest the overcoming CSC resistance mechanisms to cytotoxic therapies may result in higher cure rates. (ibid Diehn et al)

Chemotherapy increases Cancer Stem Cell proliferation


Since it remains to be determined how representative such cancer stem cell-like cells are of CSC in primary tumors, another group analyzed human CD44+ESA+ colon cancer stem cells were enriched in xenografts that had been treated with cyclophosphamide compared to untreated control tumors.

New Directions in Cancer Treatment


Recent insights into tumor biology.indicate that in many cancers only a subset of malignant cells has the potential to proliferate indefinitely and therefore to give rise to macroscopic metastases or to cause tumor recurrence after treatment It is this subset of cells, often called cancer stem cells (CSC), that needs to be targeted and eliminated in order to achieve cures, since the remaining cancer cells (called nontumorigenic cells) are destined to stop dividing or to die. (ibid
Diehl et al)

New Directions in Cancer Treatment (cont.)


The CSC hypothesis suggests that agents targeting these cells should ultimately lead to improved outcomes for cancer patients.
http://cirmresearch.blogspot.com/2011/04/shifting-balance-of-stem-cell-renewal.html

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

Going Forward
Assessing the efficacy of such treatments will require the advent of new approaches to assessing CSC frequency and viability within tumors. Furthermore, classic mechanisms of treatment resistance, such as clonal selection and the tumor microenvironment, will continue to present obstacles for achieving cure. It is therefore likely that combinations of cytotoxic, biologic, and CSC-directed therapies will ultimately allow the largest possible improvements in patient outcomes.

The Weeks Clinic for Corrective Medicine and Psychiatry 2011

We need a targeted therapy


One vexing dilemma in the nascent field of CSC-based therapeutics is the high similarity between CSC and normal tissue stem cells, which complicates the second aforementioned goal of CSC-directed therapy avoiding normal stem cell toxicity. (ibid Diehn et al)

But.
IPT, being chemotherapy (albeit low dose and targeted kinder and gentler) nevertheless still worsening cancer prognosis since it still kills ONLY cancer tumor cells (not the cancer stem cells): the resulting IL-8 SOS signal still goes out to muster reinforcements from the mesenchymal stem cells which increase the number and virulence of cancer stem cells.

The goal of the Cordelia Effect (Corrective Cancer Care) is to control the variables including the local tumor environment so as to shift the cancer stem cells metabolism away from proliferation and towards differentiation, in order to decrease tumor size, growth and virulence.

ERalpha vs. ERbeta


Prostate cancer growth depends, in its earlier stages, on androgens and is usually pharmacologically modulated with androgen blockade. However, androgen-ablation therapy may generate androgen-independent prostate cancer, often characterized by an increased invasiveness.

We have shown that the dihydrotestosterone metabolite 5alphaandrostane-3beta,17beta-diol (3beta-Adiol), a steroid which does not bind androgen receptors, but efficiently binds the estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta), exerts a potent inhibition of prostate cancer cell migration through the activation of the ERbeta signaling.

Summary: Stem Cells and Cancer


1) Cancer mortality is directly related to cancer stem cell activity (metastatic and proliferative processes) 2) Chemotherapy and radiation do not kill cancer stem cells 3) Chemotherapy and radiation make cancers grow faster and more virulent 4) Treatment of (people with) cancer requires adjunctive care and not just chemotherapy or radiation 5) Treatment which fails to address the toxicity of cancer stem cells is futile and irresponsible

6) IPT, while kinder and gentler, must not be given unless adjunctive care is taken to minimize cancer stem cell stimulation 7) Adjunctive treatment modalities represent a significant improvement over traditional IPT.

8) This is a therapeutic message which our patients, as well as our oncology colleagues, are ready to hear.
