l asparaginase/fatigue

The anti-angiogenic activity of L-asparaginase (L-ASP) and the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cell lines to L-ASP has been previously demonstrated by preclinical findings. The aim of this clinical trial was to translate those findings and evaluate the activity of polyethylene glycol-conjugated

A polyethylene glycol conjugate of L-asparaginase (PEGLA) was administered to 21 patients with refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The dose given was 2,000 mu/m2 intramuscularly every 2 weeks. Eligibility required at least one prior trial of chemotherapy and ambulatory performance status. At entry,

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro activity of polyethylene glycol-conjugated L-asparaginase (PEG-Lasparaginase) against fresh human tumor specimens, using the human tumor clonogenic assay (HTCA), and to perform a phase I dose-escalation clinical trial of PEG-L-asparaginase. The goal of the clinical

In this paper is reported a case of acute biphenotypic leukemia who was treated by chemotherapy and pursued its effect by two color flow cytometry. A 33-year-old male patient was admitted due to fever and general fatigue and diagnosed as acute leukemia by hematological findings. Surface markers were

The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors' suggested management
