  • Title: The adjuvant effect of lucanthone (miracil D) in clinical radiation therapy.
    Author: Turner S, Bases R, Pearlman A, Nobler M, Kabakow B.
    Journal: Radiology; 1975 Mar; 114(3):729-31. PubMed ID: 1118579.
    Abstract:
    Clinical trials were undertaken to determine whether lucanthone (miracil D) affects radiation-induced regression in measurable pulmonary metastases and advanced squamous-cell oral and pharyngeal tumors. The time required for 50% tumor regression was decreased by approximately 50% in those patients who received lucanthone in addition to irradiation. These results indicate that lucanthone has a definite adjuvant effect when used together with irradiation.
