Drug Interactions Causing Warfarin Overdose in a Patient with Pancreatic Cancer: A Case Report
Mistletoe,Viscum album, is a medicinal plant used in complementary medicine in oncology. Patients do not necessarily mention to their oncologist this phytotherapeutic treatment which may be responsible for unsuspected drug interactions. Some patients are adept at taking medicinal plants, a practice often unknown to health professionals who take care of them. This case reports drug interactions leading to bleeding secondary to warfarin overdose. A patient over 75 years of age was treated with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as a first course for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (day 0). He was also treated with warfarin ...

Radioprotective effect of mistletoe extract on intestinal toxicity: < em > in vivo < /em > study using adult zebrafish
CONCLUSION: The radioprotective effect against intestinal toxicity was successfully shown in an adult zebrafish model. This result suggests the possibility of clinical use of mistletoe extract for the treatment of abdominal cancers.PMID:36318746 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2142982 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Viscum album mother tinctures: Harvest conditions and host trees influence the plant metabolome and the glycolytic pathway of breast cancer cells
Viscum album is a semi-parasitic plant used for over one hundred years in complementary cancer therapy. The main commercial drugs used in cancer patients’ treatment are derived from the aqueous V. album extracts, whose cytotoxic potential is mostly attributed to the aqueous soluble antitumoral metabolites. On the counterpart, ethanol solvents must be used to obtain V. album mother tinctures. This methodology permits better solubilization of phenolic compounds, among others, which present antitumoral bioactivity. Recently, the metabolomics approach revealed the influence of the host tree on the V. album subspecies differe...

Additional treatment with mistletoe extracts for patients with breast cancer compared to conventional cancer therapy alone - efficacy and safety, costs and cost-effectiveness, patients and social aspects, and ethical assessment
Ger Med Sci. 2022 Jul 14;20:Doc10. doi: 10.3205/000312. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Chemotherapy is often used in the treatment of breast cancer in women. Side effects such as diarrhea, fatigue, hair loss, fever or disturbances in blood formation impair the women's quality of life. An essential treatment goal of the accompanying mistletoe therapy (MT) used in complementary medicine is to improve the health-related quality of life during cancer therapy.AIM AND METHODS: The HTA report on which this article is based examines the medical efficacy and safety, costs and cost-effectiveness, patient and social aspects, an...
