Dexamethasone (Dex), co-administered to lung adenocarcinoma patients with pemetrexed chemotherapy, protects against pemetrexed cytotoxicity by inducing reversible G1 arrest, reflected by the effect of Dex on FLT-PET images of patient tumors. However, perioperative Dex treatment increases survival but the mechanism is unknown. In cells with glucocorticoid receptor-α (GR) expression corresponding to higher clinical tumor levels, Dex-induced growth arrest was followed by marked cell expansion, beta ...[more]
