A Phase II trial of gallium nitrate for patients with recurrent or metastatic nonsquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix was conducted by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) from March 1988 to January 1992. Twenty-six evaluable patients were treated with 750 mg/m2 of gallium nitrate every 3 weeks.
Twenty-six evaluable patients with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with 750 mg/m2 of gallium nitrate every three weeks. All patients had prior cisplatin chemotherapy. One patient had a complete response (3.8%), two patients had partial responses (7.7%), and six patients
Twenty-four evaluable patients with advanced, persistent or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated with 750 mg/m2 of gallium nitrate (NSC #15200) every three weeks. No patient had prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. Two patients had a partial response (8.3%), ten patients had stable
The case of a 77-year-old male patient who complained of left upper quadrant pain and progressive vomiting. Laboratory examination showed extremely high lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) and adult T-cell leukemia antibody (ATLA). The anatomical studies CT, MRI, US and upper GI series substantiated an
A 72-year-old male patient was hospitalized with diffused abdominal pain with worsening renal insufficiency, intermittent vomiting, and a spiking fever. Initial CT scan and sonography showed a dilated gallbladder with a polyp, but no calculi. A gallium scan with SPECT/CT revealed intense gallbladder
Hypercalcemia is a common, life-threatening metabolic disorder that can be associated with cancer. Its pathophysiology includes enhanced osteoclastic bone resorption and decreased renal excretion of extracellular calcium. Symptoms of hypercalcemia include nausea, vomiting, bone pain, polyuria, renal
We evaluated the role of gallium nitrate infusion in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Gallium nitrate was administered at 300 mg/m2/day for 7 days every 3 weeks by continuous infusion concomitantly with oral calcium supplement of 500 mg twice daily and oral hydration. Fifteen patients with
Extra-adrenal /retroperitoneal paraganglioma is a rare cause of hypertension in young with increased incidence of metastasis as compared to adrenal pheochromocytoma. We present a case of a young female with history of headache, nausea/vomiting, palpitations, uncontrolled hypertension, heat
A 58-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with nausea, vomiting, and gait disturbance of 1 year duration. Postcontrast computed tomographic scans demonstrated enhanced lesions in the left cerebellopontine angle (CPA), the retrosellar region, the right parasellar region, and the left
Immune checkpoint inhibitor is a verified standard of care as a second-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. Management of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) is crucial for ensuring patient safety. However, less frequent irAEs may result in complications. Here, we report a patient
Acute hypercalcemia is a life-threatening rather rare condition. This condition may represent an acute decompensation of a pre-existing hypercalcemia, or may be acute at the first instance of the electrolyte disturbance. Hypercalcemic patients can present with a broad spectrum of symptoms, but most
The bisphosphonates are the treatment of choice in hypercalcaemia of malignancy. However, plicamycin (mithramycin) an calcitonin treatment may still be of value should bisphophonate treatment fail, and gallium nitrate has recently been introduced as an alternative therapy. We analysed the
