antidiuretic/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is known as a rare adverse event with chemotherapy. We report the case of a SIADH occurring after vinorelbine treatment. METHODS In a 79-year-old woman breast cancer was first diagnosed in 2000. Three years after the first

Carboplatin is a platinum analogue, widely used in the treatment of numerous cancer types including lung, genitourinary and ovarian cancers. It is also used in the adjuvant treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive breast cancer, where a non-anthracycline regimen is preferred.

A patient who developed syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) during progression of metastatic breast cancer is described. The classic criteria for SIADH as defined by Bartter and Schwartz were fulfilled and conditions other than malignant disease were excluded as

A 71-year-old woman showed disorientation 7 days after simple mastectomy for right breast cancer. Computed tomography of the brain was normal. The level of serum sodium was very low (110 mEq/l), while the urine sodium level was normal. The osmolality of urine was higher (342 mosmol/kg) than that of

We report the occurrence of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in 3 patients with breast carcinoma metastatic to the liver who received hepatic arterial infusion of vinblastine at lower doses than those previously associated with this effect. Leukopenia was severe in all

OBJECTIVE To describe onset of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) associated with vinorelbine therapy for advanced breast cancer. METHODS A 50-year-old white woman with a history of advanced breast cancer refractory to other treatment modalities was receiving vinorelbine. Blood

Desmopressin (dDAVP) is a well-known peptide analog of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, used to prevent excessive bleeding during surgical procedures. dDAVP increases hemostatic mediators, such as the von Willebrand factor (vWF), recently considered a key element in resistance to metastasis.

Desmopressin (DDAVP), a synthetic peptide analog of vasopressin, is a safe antidiuretic and hemostatic compound that acts as a selective agonist for the vasopressin V2 membrane receptor. It is known that DDAVP can inhibit progression of residual metastatic cells and also improves chemotherapy

We assessed the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of continuous hepatic infusion of vinblastine in the treatment of breast cancer predominantly metastatic to the liver. Twenty-six patients previously treated with one or more chemotherapeutic regimens received vinblastine at a dose of 2.0 mg/m2 daily

BACKGROUND Desmopressin (dDAVP), a synthetic nonapeptide derivative of arginine vasopressin, is a safe antidiuretic and hemostatic compound that acts as a selective agonist for the vasopressin V2 membrane receptor (V2R). It is known that dDAVP can inhibit progression of residual metastatic cells in

Alisma orientalis, a well-known traditional medicine, exerts numerous pharmacological effects including anti-diabetes, anti-hepatitis, and anti-diuretics but its bioactivity is not fully clear. Androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor (PR), and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) are three members of

The purpose of this study was to define the maximal tolerated dose (MTD), extramedullary toxicities, and pharmacokinetics of docetaxel combined with high-dose melphalan and carboplatin with autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell support. Fifty-nine patients with advanced refractory malignancy (32

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of etiologies for the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in hospitalized patients with active malignancies and to characterize them according to the different etiologies. METHODS A single center retrospective study including all

A case of brain metastasis from peritoneal serous surface papillary carcinoma (SSPC) was reported. This 68-year-old woman was admitted to our department because of decreased consciousness level for the last few days. Her medical past history revealed breast cancer and SSPC of the peritoneum at the
