Meanings of gallium nitrate in English

Further evaluation of gallium nitrate to attenuate progression of disease in patients with multiple myeloma is warranted.

Agents which have been investigated include gallium nitrate, interferon-alpha and paclitaxel both as single agents and in combination with established cytotoxic drugs.

These data suggest that gallium nitrate may have a positive, indirect benefit on survival in myeloma by decreasing the rate of bone resorption.

Gallium nitrate was shown in a small, randomized trial to attenuate the rate of bone loss in patients with myeloma treated with chemotherapy.
