Abstract 4220: Tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R efficacy on colon cancer liver metastasis alone and in combination with fluorescence-guided surgery

Abstract

Abstract Liver metastasis is the most frequent cause of death from colon and other cancers. Surgical treatment of liver metastasis has had limited success. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R alone and in combination with fluorescence-guided surgery on liver metastasis in orthotopic mouse models. HT-29 human colon cancer cells expressing red fluorescent protein (RFP) developed liver metastasis after orthotopic implantation. In the orthotopic nude-mouse models, S. typhimurium A1-R targeted liver metastases and significantly reduced their growth (p < 0.01) after i.v. administration. Adjuvant treatment with S. typhimurium A1-R was highly effective to increase overall survival (p = 0.01) and disease-free survival (p < 0.01) after bright-light surgery (BLS) of liver metastasis. The results of this study demonstrate the future clinical potential of S. typhimurium A1-R treatment of liver metastasis.
