Abstract: A method of inhibiting growth of a tumor cell in a mammal may include steps of administering to the mammal a first solution including a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, the first solution further including a first combination having a plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or a second combination having at least one amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte. Alternatively, another solution may be administered to the mammal containing a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, while concurrently administering to the mammal a further solution including the first combination with the plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or the second combination with at least one said amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte.

Abstract: Tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of 5-Fluorouracil and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A method of treatment for preventing or reducing tumor growth in a patient includes administering to the patient an effective about of taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof, so as to prevent or reduce the tumor growth in the patient.

Abstract: Tumor metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of Interleukin-2 and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A method of treatment for preventing or reducing tumor growth in liver of a patient includes administering to the patient an effective about of taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof, so as to prevent or reduce the tumor growth in the patient.

Abstract: Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are treated either orally or intravenously with methylol transfer agents, such as taurolidine and/or taurultam. These agents can be used in combination with other drugs thereby allowing the use of smaller amounts of the other drugs and limiting unwanted side effects.

Abstract: A method of inducing apoptotic death of a neoplastic cell, whereby the neoplastic cell is contacted with an apoptosis-inducing amount of a methylol-containing compound. This method is useful for treating both primary and metastatic cancers. A preferred embodiment includes administering a methylol transfer agent to the mammal, at a total daily dose of from about 2 g to about 60 g, the administration including at least two dosing cycles, each dosing cycle including an infusion phase of about 1 to 8 days, and a non-administration phase of about 1 to 14 days. Another embodiment includes treating liver cancer by administration of a solution of a methylol transfer agent directly to the liver via a hepatic vessel.

Abstract: A method of treating mesothelioma in a mammal, whereby a methylol-containing compound is administered to the mammal intrapleurally.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting growth of a tumor cell in a mammal may include steps of administering to the mammal a first solution including a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, the first solution further including a first combination having a plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or a second combination having at least one amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte. Alternatively, another solution may be administered to the mammal containing a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, while concurrently administering to the mammal a further solution including the first combination with the plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or the second combination with at least one said amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte.
