Intraarterial Therapy with a New Potent Inhibitor of Tumor Metabolism (3-bromopyruvate): Identification of Therapeutic Dose and Method of Injection in an Animal Model of Liver Cancer

The results identified both the therapeutic dose (1.75 mmol/L) and the method of infusion (1 hour intraarterial infusion) of 3-BrPA. This potent new treatment may prove to be an effective way of treating liver cancer and may become part of a new class of anticancer drugs based on the inhibition of tumor metabolism.
