2. THE PROBLEM:
50% of CANCERS CANNOT BE
CURED by CHEMOTHERAPY
YET, RESISTANCE ACCOUNTS
for TREATMENT FAILURE
in ABOUT 70% of PATIENTS
EVEN SUCCESFULL TREATMENT
MUST BE DISCONTINUED in 20-30% of
PATIENTS DUE to the EMERGENCE
of RELEVANT SIDE-EFFECTS

15. MELATONIN IMPACT on SURVIVAL
Relative risk meta-analysis of
10 RCTs in various cancers using the
random effects model
CLINICAL OUTCOMES
• Melatonin reduced the risk of
death at 1 yr (relative risk: 0.66,
95% confidence interval: 0.59–0.73,
I2 ¼ 0%, heterogeneity P £ 0.56).
• Effects were consistent across
melatonin dose, and type of cancer.
• No severe adverse events were
reported.
• The substantial reduction in risk of
death, low adverse events reported
and low costs related to this
intervention suggest great potential
for melatonin in treating cancer
17. SUPPORTIVE CARE
• concomitant administration of
melatonin significantly reduced
the frequency of
thrombocytopenia, neurotoxicity,
cardiotoxicity, stomatitis and
asthenia.
• This study indicates that the
pineal hormone melatonin may
enhance the efficacy of
chemotherapy and reduce its
toxicity, in advanced cancer
patients of poor clinical status
• Melatonin may be effective in the
treatment of the neoplastic
cachexia by decreasing TNF
blood concentrations.
18. MELATONIN and BREAST CANCER
• Metastatic breast
cancer patients who
were unresponsive to
tamoxifen alone were
given 20 mg melatonin
daily in the evening
along with tamoxifen . A
response was achieved
in 28% of these
patients.
• It has also been shown
that melatonin
increases the cytostatic
antiestrogen sensitivity
of tamoxifen via an
unknown mechanism
19. META-ANALYSIS, 2012
• Melatonin as an adjuvant
therapy led to significantly
higher tumor remission,
better survival at 1 year,
and less
radiochemotherapy-
related side effects
including
thrombocytopenia,
neurotoxicity, and fatigue.
• In many cases, the
cancers that were being
treated were refractory to
standard therapy and as
such more amenable to
the adjunct use of an
untested and unproven
therapy like melatonin
20. BRAIN METASTASES
• In a trial, 50 patients with brain
metastases whose disease
had progressed under initial
therapy were randomized to
receive supportive care alone
or supportive care and
melatonin. Nine of the 24
patients who received
melatonin survived 1 year
compared with 3 of 26 who did
not receive melatonin (23). The
• mean survival time was 9.2
versus 5.5 months and the
time free from brain
progression was 5.9 versus
2.7 months in patients
receiving melatonin
21. INOSITOL
BIOCHEMISTRY
and PHYSIOLOGY
• Inositol is a 6-carbon, cyclic
polyalcohol.
• nine different stereoisomers
have been discovered till
now
• Myo-inositol being the most
abundant stereoisomer in
nature.
22. INOSITOL FOOD CONTENT
• Beans: 45-65 mg/100 g
• Whole grain bread: 39 mg/100 g
• Grapejuice: 133 mg/100 g
• Whole wheat bread: 34 mg/100 g
• Spaghetti 90 mg/100 g
• Chocholate 86 mg/100 g
• Rice 60-110 mg/100 g
• Lentils 270-1500 mg/100 g
• Almond 350-940 mg/100 g
daily requirement: 1-2 g/day ASSUMPTION: 0.3-1 g/day (in Western countries) !

IS TAKING OFF
27. Diet and cancer
• Studies conducted over the years
have show a strong correlation
between diet and cancer
• Almost all cancers (80-90%) are
caused due to environmental factors,
and of these, 30-40% of cancers are
directly linked to the diet
• Most epidemiological data suggest a
protective role for fruits and
vegetables in the prevention of
several common epithelial cancers
