Abstract: The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agents or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered consecutively with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and or radiation therapy. The therapy results in a synergistic potential increase of the inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic on tumor cell proliferation, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone, concurrently or not in the dosage regime of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases, preferably breast and prostate tumors, comprising administration of anti-EGFR (Her1) antibodies and anti-hormonal agents, optionally together with cytotoxic/chemotherapeutic agent. The method and the pharmaceutical compositions comprising said agents can result in a synergistic potentiation of the tumor cell proliferation inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic agent, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone.
