Razoxane is clinically active against angiogenesis and metastasis. Razoxane specifically inhibits topoisomerase II without inducing DNA strand breaks (topo II catalytic inhibitor). It is an antimitotic agent with immunosuppressive properties. Razoxane inhibits blood-borne and lymphatic metastases in different experimental models. Studies have shown that razoxane inhibits specifically the vasculogenic mimicry of B16F10 melanoma cells.

Razoxane blocks cell division in the G2/M phase of the cell generation cycle and appears to normalize tumour neovasculature development. These were the principal reasons for the examination and probably for the demonstration of the radiosensitizing activity of Rz. Specially

Angiosarcomas of the heart are rare neoplasms bearing an unfavorable prognosis. In recent series, the median survival is about 5 months. The response to radiation therapy is uncertain. A 65-year-old copper smith with an angiosarcoma of the right atrium and
Acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and myeloid leukemia (AML) account for approximately 26% of pediatric cancers. Anthracyclines are widely used to treat these leukemias, but dosing is limited by cardiotoxicity. Data support the efficacy of dexrazoxane as a cardioprotectant in children; however

Anthracycline extravasation (ACEV) is a rare but potentially devastating event which can result in severe injuries including ulceration and necrosis, slow-healing lesions, serious joint damage and permanent disfigurement. It can delay further scheduled chemotherapy and affect cancer treatment outcome. Savene®
