Low-dose aspirin and/or phlebotomy (with frequency determined by symptom relief) might be considered on an individualized basis in the presence of hyperviscosity symptoms, cardiovascular comorbidities, and/or a history of thrombosis. Aggressive control of cardiovascular risk factors is recommended in all. A graphic abstract representation is provided in Figure 1.
In the xenograft model, the combination treatment suppressed tumor growth by approximately 70%, an effect comparable to paclitaxel (PTX). In contrast to PTX, the combination of rhAPE1/Ref-1 and ASA did not cause hematological toxicity, such as anemia or thrombocytopenia. The combination of rhAPE1/Ref-1 and ASA represents a promising new therapeutic strategy for TNBC by enhancing apoptosis and significantly inhibiting tumor progression in a mouse xenograft model.
Co-treatment with indomethacin showed no additive toxicity. These findings support IONPs@HES as a biocompatible nanoplatform suitable for vascular-targeted cancer therapy, meriting further in vivo validation.
