Dextromethorphan, dimemorfan, dihydrocodeine and oxymethebanol, centrally acting antitussives, were examined for their effect on Ehrlich carcinoma cells and sarcoma-180 cells in vitro or in vivo. The tumor cells were suspended in Hanks balanced salt solution (pH 7.4) supplemented with 2% bovine
Nonproductive cough is a frequent and distressing symptom in patients with lung cancer, and it is not even relieved by palliative chemotherapy. A double-blind, randomized clinical trial regarding the treatment of nonproductive cough was performed in 140 adults with primary lung cancer or metastatic
As a symptom of an underlying condition, cough is one of the most common reasons patients see physicians. To the majority, a cough means that 'something is wrong' and it causes exhaustion and/or self-consciousness. Patients find these reasons as well as effects on lifestyle, fear of cancer and/or
Cough is a common symptom that can be self-limiting or persistent. Ideally, treatment of the underlying cause(s) of cough with specific treatments should eliminate cough. This approach may not be successful if no cause can be established or if the treatment of the cause fails. Suppression of cough
BACKGROUND
Noscapine, a non-toxic alkaloid and common constituent of cough medicine, stabilises tubulin. It inhibits the growth of several human and murine neoplasms, with no significant toxicity. Its effect on prostate cancer has not been evaluated.
METHODS
Noscapine was administered orally (300
Hormone-refractory prostate cancer, its skeletal metastasis and complications remain a therapeutic challenge. Here we show that treatment with (S)-3-((R)-9-bromo-4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl)-6,7-dimethoxyiso-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (EM011), the brominated
Noscapine (Nos), an orally available plant-derived antitussive alkaloid, is in phase II clinical trials for cancer chemotherapy. It has extensively been shown to inhibit tumor growth in nude mice bearing human xenografts of hematopoietic, breast, lung, ovarian, brain, and prostate origin. However,
OBJECTIVE
To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities of paclitaxel with concurrent thoracic irradiation in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using a 120-hour continuous infusion regimen. A secondary
Benzonatate is a peripheral oral antitussive that dampens the activity of cough stretch receptors. Rodent carcinogenicity studies were performed in Tg.rasH2 mice and Wistar Han rats. Mice were orally gavaged benzonatate at 10, 30, 75, and 100 mg/kg/day for males and 5, 15, and 50 mg/kg/day for
Cough associated with cancer or nonmalignant chronic disease is common and distressing. Levodropropizine, a peripherally acting drug, has been used as an alternative antitussive to opioids. The authors aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of levodropropizine in relieving cough associated with
BACKGROUND
Cough is common in patients with lung cancer, and current antitussive treatments are suboptimal. There are little published data describing cough in patients with lung cancer or work assessing clinical associations. The aim of this study is to fill that gap.

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to explore the patient experience of cough in a population of patients with lung cancer.
METHODS
A qualitative exploratory study design was developed and elicited the views of 26 patients with lung cancer who had current or past experience with cough.

OBJECTIVE
This article summarizes the current understanding of cough in lung cancer, strategies for its management and highlights areas where further research is warranted.Cough is common, severe and distressing for many lung cancer patients. Currently few effective cough interventions exist for
Although cough is a common and distressing symptom in lung cancer patients, there is almost no evidence to guide management. Aprepitant, a centrally acting neurokinin-1 inhibitor, significantly decreased cough frequency in a pilot study.Patients with
