Gallium maltolate is a promising chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Anticancer Res. 2006 May-Jun; (3A): 1739-43
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a particularly lethal cancer with few treatment options. Since gallium is known to accumulate specifically in HCC tumors but not in non-tumor liver, we investigated two gallium compounds, gallium nitrate (GaN) and gallium maltolate (GaM), as potential new agents for treating HCC.
