Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides methods of treating malignant colon and colo-rectal cancer in mammals, by reducing or inhibiting or retarding such colon cancer tumors in mammals. These methods employ the administration of a tumor-inhibiting or reducing camptothecin compound, e.g., 9-amino-20(RS)-camptothecin, 10,11-methylenedioxy-20(RS)-camptothecin, and the sodium salt of 10,11-methylenedioxy-20(RS)-camptothecin, or a combination thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations.
