OBJECTIVE
A case of erythema multiforme associated with prophylactic use of phenytoin during cranial radiation therapy is reported.
CONCLUSIONS
A 60-year-old woman with intraductal adenocarcinoma of the breast and cerebral metastasis who had an implanted central venous catheter arrived at the
Seventeen children and two adolescents, aged 6 months to 20 9/12 years, with poor risk leukemia were treated with a total of 38 sequential high-dose ARA-C-Asparaginase courses (HIDAC-ASNase). Each course was followed by profound myelosuppression. Fever occurred in 13.2% and infectious complications
OBJECTIVE
Busulfan (Bu) is commonly used as a component of conditioning regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Erratic gastrointestinal absorption as a result of oral administration of Bu not only affects the efficacy, but also increases the risk of toxicity. This study was to analyze
BACKGROUND
Treatment strategies involving dose intensification have recently demonstrated improvements in cure compared with older trials. However, dose-intensive therapy is associated with increased acute and long-term toxicities, particularly in pediatric patients. The Children's Cancer Group
16 unselected patients with advanced neuroblastoma were given high-dose consolidation chemotherapy with vincristine, melphalan, etoposide and carboplatin over 5 h followed by autologous bone marrow rescue. 3 patients died from treatment-related toxicity, 2 from disease, 1 is alive with disease and
Escalating doses of bortezomib with high-dose melphalan was evaluated as as a conditioning regimen for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). MM patients with less than a partial remission (PR) (or 50% reduction) compared to their
Background: Because of atypical clinical symptoms, lymphoma is easily confused with infectious diseases. Extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) is more common, and there are few cases of eyelid site onset and
This phase I dose-escalation study was performed to determine the tolerability of three-drug combination high-dose BCNU (B) (450 mg/m2), escalating-dose thiotepa (500-800 mg/m2) and etoposide (1200 mg/m2) in divided doses over four days in 22 adults with malignant primary brain tumors. Patients
The prognosis in patients with primary brain tumors treated with surgery, radiotherapy and conventional chemotherapy remains poor. To improve outcome, combination high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) has been explored in children, but rarely in adults. This study was performed to determine the tolerability
This study investigated the toxicity and efficacy of busulfan-containing pre-transplant regimens in patients with solid tumors. The majority of these patients were also treated on protocols involving two transplant courses aiming at further reducing tumor burden. Between October 1984 and November
We report on a three-drug myeloablative regimen designed to consolidate remission and to prevent central nervous system (CNS) relapse of high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). Sixty-six NB patients received topotecan 2 mg/m2/day, x 4 days; thiotepa 300 mg/m2/day, x 3 days; and carboplatin approximately 500
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an autosomal recessive disease with histiocytic and lymphocytic infiltrations in multiple organs. Cure seems possible only by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), but matched sibling donors (MSD) are restricted and high mortality rates are
Primary brain tumors constitute the most frequent solid tumor of childhood. High expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein has been associated with tumor progression and enhanced tumorigenicity in adult and children gliomas. Nimotuzumab is a humanized antibody that targets
We report the case of a 76-year-old female patient with early breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive erbb2 amplified) that had started adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel, carboplatin and trastuzumab (TCH). Eight days after the first cycle of TCH chemotherapy, the patient was diagnosed with grade
OBJECTIVE
Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) and primary intraocular lymphoma (IOL) are usually treated with radiation therapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy. The neurotoxicity of these treatments can be substantial. This study attempts to define the toxicity and efficacy of the treatment of
