Embodiment Construction

[0014]The invention provides methods for treating cancer, involving administration of a halichondrin B analog, such as an analog having the following structure:

which is carried out in combination with a second approach to treatment.

[0015]There are numerous types of anti-cancer approaches that can be used in conjunction with halichondrin B analog treatment, according to the invention. These include, for example, treatment with chemotherapeutic agents (see below), biological agents (e.g., hormonal agents, cytokines (e.g., interleukins, interferons, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)), chemokines, vaccine antigens, and antibodies), anti-angiogenic agents (e.g., angiostatin and endostatin), radiation, and surgery.

[0016]The methods of the invention can employ these approaches to treat the same types of cancers as those for which they are known in the art to be used, as ...
