Dr Paola Allavena, from Instituto Humanitas in Milan (Italy), was invited by the organising committee to speak in one of the closing symposia on the data showing the specific activity of Yondelis® in the tumour's microenvironment. In addition to inducing tumour cell death, Yondelis® depletes tumour-associated macrophages. Those cells, normally part of the immune system, exhibit protumoural activity by releasing a number of factors that stimulate tumour cell division and neovascularisation.


By inducing these cells' death, Yondelis® inhibits their protumoural activity and reduces the secretion of tumour growth stimulation factors. This action mechanism is specific to Yondelis® and has not been observed with any other antitumour agent to date. That data was recently published in "Cancer Cell" journal.
