Resumen

Se ha realizado un estudio experimental sobre el tumor IL-7, implantado subcutáneamente en ratas Wistar, al objeto de verificar si la administración sistémica o intralesional de dexametasona puede ejercer un efecto antitumoral. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, tras cuatro semanas de tratamiento, la administración de este fármaco, ya sea por vía sistémica o mediante inyección directa intratumoral, no modifica significativamente el volumen del tumor ni el índice de proliferación celular. Teniendo en cuenta el carácter neuroectodérmico primitivo del tumor IL-7, los presentes resultados sugieren la ineficacia de la dexametasona, como agente citolítico, sobre neoplasias cerebrales humanas que muestren características histológicas de tumor neuroectodérmico primitivo.

Palabras Clave:

Summary

An experimental study has been performed on the IL-7 tumor growing in the subcutaneous tissue of Wistar rats. The possibility of an antitumor effect of dexamethasone, after systemic or intralesional administration was evaluated. After four weeks of dexamethasone administration, a reduction in the tumor volume or proliferation cell index was not reached. Due to the fact that IL-7 may be considered as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor, our present results suggest that dexamethasone is inefficacious as a cytolytic agent for the control of human primitive neuroectodermal tumors.

Key Words:
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor
Dexamethasone
Experimental brain tumor
