COMBINED INHIBITION OF THE VITAMIN D RECEPTOR AND DNA REPLICATION IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

摘要

Methods for treating tumors comprising cells expressing the vitamin D receptor are provided, and comprise inhibiting the expression or the biologic activity of the vitamin D receptor in the tumor cells, and/or inhibiting the expression or the biologic activity of a constituent of the vitamin D receptor signaling pathway in the tumor cells, and administering to the tumor cells an effective amount of gemcitabine.
