Thirty-four patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma were treated with a three-drug combination including vindesine sulfate (DVA), Adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide (DAC) (S9). Thirty-one patients are evaluable of whom 23 were previously untreated. Among the latter group there were six complete
Twenty-five adult patients, 15 men and 10 women, with a median age of 49, and presenting with metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcomas, have been treated with chemotherapy protocol combining cisplatinum, 100 mg/m2, vindesine, 4 mg/m2, and either adriamycin, 50 mg/m2 (APEL) (16 patients),
Two treatment regimens for metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas were compared in a randomized trial in the cooperative group setting. Histopathologic diagnosis was affirmed by pathology reference panel review in 72% of the 347 patients. In 21% of patients, the reference panel affirmed the diagnosis of
BACKGROUND
Razoxane and vindesine were shown to suppress distant metastasis in animal systems. Both drugs affect main steps of the metastatic cascade. Therefore, a pilot study was performed to study the influence of these drugs on the dynamics of metastasis in advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS).
OBJECTIVE
In previous studies, razoxane and vindesine together with radiotherapy was proved to be effective in soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Because razoxane leads to a redifferentiation of pathological tumor blood vessels, it was of particular interest to study the influence of this drug combination
BACKGROUND
Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common neoplasm in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although the best therapeutic approach is still unclear, patients with advanced KS are usually treated with systemic chemotherapy.
METHODS
A prospective multiinstitutional Italian
BACKGROUND
The treatment options in advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are limited. In a pilot study, an antimetastatic and radiosensitizing treatment concept was explored.
METHODS
Twenty-one patients with unresectable and/or oligometastatic STS received the drugs razoxane and vindesine supported
The efficacy and toxicity of doxorubicin, bleomycin and vindesine in epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma, and the role of rh GM-CSF in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia were evaluated in this Phase II study. Patients with progressive Kaposi's sarcoma were eligible, and were staged according to ACTG criteria.
A randomized study was conducted in 33 adult patients with refractory metastatic sarcomas to compare the therapeutic efficacy of continuous vindesine versus continuous vinblastine. Of 30 evaluable patients, 15 patients received vindesine as a continuous 5-day infusion at 1.2 mg/m2 repeated every 3
A 22-year-old man was admitted to Kyushu University Hospital because of high fever, and pain in the right foot and back. An X-ray examination revealed an osteolytic lesion on the 5th metatarsal bone of the right foot. Paraplegia and disturbance of bladder function occurred and compression of the
BACKGROUND
Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare and aggressive malignant renal tumor. We describe our experience with neoadjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and systematic chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced CCSK in children.
METHODS
Between January 2010 and
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate in a prospective trial three courses of an ABVD-like chemotherapy (CT) regimen given before radiation therapy (RT) (subtotal nodal irradiation (STNI) in favorable stage Hodgkin's disease (HD). The efficacy, risk factors and medium-term toxicities are reported.
METHODS
Stage I
Phase II studies using ifosfamide both alone and combined with vindesine and cisplatin have shown the effectiveness of this drug in patients with Ewing's sarcoma (ES) who had relapsed during VAC (vincristine, actinomycin, cyclosphosphamide)/VAd (vincristine, Adriamycin) therapy. In November 1984,
Evidence that supports the use of systemic, presurgical induction chemotherapy to render soft tissue sarcomas resectable or to minimize the extent of surgical excision is presented. Induction chemotherapy was administered in 34 cases of nonmetastatic soft tissue sarcomas. All patients had large
