Thirty previously untreated patients with advanced measurable gastric cancer were given a combination chemotherapy consisting of 5-fluorouracil, 400 mg/m2, and leucovorin, 200 mg/m2 iv on days 1 to 3, mitomycin-C, 10 mg/m2 on day 1 (every other cycle) and adriamycin, 40 mg/m2 on day 2, repeated
Selective intraarterial infusion of the ethylcellulose microcapsules of mitomycin C (MMC-mc) exerts its potential therapeutic effects through both infarction and prolonged local, drug activity, i.e., chemoembolization. Twenty patients with intractable primary, recurrent or metastatic carcinoma were
A significant proportion of heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer maintain good performance status (PS) and are eligible for further systemic treatment. Mitomycin C (MMC) combined with capecitabine can be considered as salvage treatment in this group of patients. To evaluate
Thirty-three evaluable patients who had epithelial ovarian cancer that had not responded to treatment were entered into a phase II study of combination epirubicin and mitomycin C. Epirubicin (65 mg/m2) and mitomycin C (4 mg/m2) were administered separately, each as an i.v. bolus every 4 weeks. Ten
Chemoembolization by selective intra-arterial infusion of mitomycin C in microcapsule form exerts potential therapeutic effects through infarction and prolonged activity. Of 20 patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with one or more courses via a hepatic arterial catheter, a
This type of thrombotic microangiopathy more commonly resembles the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) than thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The syndrome has been associated with the use of cyclosporin, mitomycin C, combinations of other chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive agents, and
In this report we further evaluate the role of regenerating liver cytosol (RLC) as a stimulator of hepatic regeneration by assessing its effect on survival, liver function, and hepatic regeneration in a model of in vivo isolated perfusion of the rat liver with high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs
BACKGROUND
A permanent reservoir implantation is considered mandatory for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Since treatment sessions of HAIC may be limited for these end-staged patients, a simple alternative technique for this treatment is
We have investigated the effects of preoperative Lipiodol-Transcatheter arterial embolization (Lp-TAE) on both the nuclear DNA content of noncancerous liver cells by DNA-cytofluorometry (using NIKON SPM-RF1-D), and the histopathological findings of liver lesions. Lp-TAE through the hepatic artery
The prognosis of stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be improved by a combination of radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT). In this study, the GOTHA group evaluated the feasibility, tolerance, tumour response, pattern of failure and effect on survival of a combination alternating
The aim of this study was to determine the 60-day all-cause mortality rate, during chemotherapy, for patients with oesophagogastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer. We analysed 1720 patients that were treated within randomised trials. The minimum follow-up period was > 60 days. Sixty-day
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma, successfully treated with multimodal loco-regional treatments, is reported. An 80-year-old male presented with multiple pulmonary and peritoneal metastases 4 months after right heimihepatectomy for ruptured HCC. Bronchial artery infusion of mitomycin C induced
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening multisystem disorder characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia accompanied by microvascular thrombosis that causes variable degrees of tissue ischemia and infarction leading to organ dysfunction.
A prospective neoadjuvant trial utilizing chemotherapy (CTX) and radiotherapy (XRT) prior to pancreatectomy was established to determine the feasibility of resection after aggressive pretreatment and its effect on survival. Fifteen patients with pancreatic cancer (14 head, 1 body) and 1 patient with
BACKGROUND
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare condition that occasionally is reported in cancer patients. Recently it has been observed that gemcitabine rarely may be associated with this condition.
