Vinblastine (VLB) is an antimitotic drug that binds to the vinca site of tubulin. The molecule possesses a high molecular weight and a complex chemical structure with many possibilities of metabolization. Despite advances in drug discovery research in reducing drug toxicity, the cause and mechanism
Thirty-two patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant to cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (COPP) and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) were treated with a salvage chemotherapy regimen consisting of lomustine, etoposide, vindesine, and
Advanced testicular tumors in 34 patients were treated by combination chemotherapy with bleomycin, vinblastine, vincristine, cis platinum and actinomycin D. The therapy was divided into 3 phases: 1) induction, 2) consolidation and 3) maintenance. Induction lasted 4 weeks and consisted of 420 mg.
Forty-seven patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease were entered in a prospective, randomized trial comparing MOPP (mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone) with a regimen containing lomustine (CCNU), vinblastine, and prednisone (CCNU-VP). Both groups were comparable for the
A combination regimen consisting of cisplatin, bleomycin, and vinblastine was evaluated in 86 patients with metastatic testicular tumors. Prior therapy included surgical resection of primary tumor (84 patients), radiotheapy (21 patients), chemotherapy (33 patients). Thirteen patients received prior
BACKGROUND
In advanced not selected NSCLC chemotherapy achieved an advantage of approximately 1-2 months on median survival versus best supportive care. Chemotherapy seems to improve symptoms control, even if randomised studies with quality of life as first endpoint are lacking and often
A phase II combination chemotherapy protocol combining methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin was designed to evaluate tumor response and survival in patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial carcinoma. Thirty patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial carcinoma were assigned to
BACKGROUND
The most commonly used regimen for the treatment of advanced Hodgkin's disease (HD) is ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine). Two of these components, bleomycin and dacarbazine, have defined toxicities such as pulmonary fibrosis and nausea/vomiting, and also uncertain
UNASSIGNED
Antiemetic effects and safety of granisetron or palonosetron alone and in combination with a corticosteroid against chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) were retrospectively evaluated in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma receiving adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and
BACKGROUND
Mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisolone (MOPP) and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD) are well established first-line chemotherapy protocols for the treatment of Hodgkin's disease. The aim of this study was to try a new combination of drugs that
A combination chemotherapy consisting of cis-platinum (CDDP), vinblastine (VLB) and adriamycin (ADM) was given to fourteen patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The treatment consisted of CDDP 60 mg/m2 i.v., divided over two days (on days 1 and 2) or five days (on days 1-5), and VLB 3.5 mg/m2
Systemic cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens are the gold standard in advanced bladder cancer. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) therapy has often been used, although there is no significant evidence that it is better than methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, and cisplatin (MVAC) therapy in
In an attempt to improve the poor prognosis of invasive and/or high-grade bladder cancer after total cystectomy, we tried a combination of regional irradiation with hyperthermia (RH) therapy and systemic M-VAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin, and cisplatin) chemotherapy followed by surgery.
In a phase II study, eight patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma have been treated with a combination of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy using adriamycin, hydroxyurea, vinblastine, and medroxyprogesterone acetate. Five patients have responded, including one with complete response, one with
In a cooperative study of the Japanese Urological Cancer Research Group for Adriamycin, the usefulness of chemotherapy with methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin, and cisplatin (M-VAC therapy) in treating advanced or recurrent bladder cancer was examined. Evaluation of the clinical responses
