With the aim of improving survival rate in advanced head and neck cancer, we scheduled 26 patients to receive PEM regimen. This regimen consisted of cisplatin (CDDP)(P), etoposide (VP-16)(E), and mitomycin-C (MMC)(M) (CDDP 60 mg/ m2/2 hr infusion on day 1; VP-16 40 mg/m2/1 hr infusion on days 1-3;
Ethylcellulose microcapsules of mitomycin C (MMC) were prepared. The potential therapeutic effects of intra-arterial infusion of the microencapsulated anti-cancer drugs were considered to be a function of microembolization and prolonged the drug action, that is, chemoembolization. A total of 19
OBJECTIVE
To describe a novel technique of delivering mitomycin C safely via endoscopic sinus surgery.
METHODS
Mitomycin C was applied in the median frontal drainage pathway of a 44-year-old woman suffering from recalcitrant chronic frontal sinusitis. The mitomycin C was soaked onto a neurosurgical
OBJECTIVE
To know the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgical outcomes (R1 resections, post-operative complications, recurrence and follow up) in Stage IV borderline operable cancers of oral cavity.
METHODS
Patients in group A (n=45) were those who were referred for neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil has been used to rescue patients from peritoneal carcinomatosis after perforated cystadenocarcinoma of the large bowel or appendix. A staging celiotomy was used to asses the results of therapy. In nine patients tumor was recovered from
In the peritoneal cavity of the rat, Hirosaki sarcoma, as ascites tumor of the rat, acquired a resistance to the essentially effective dose of 100 microgram/kg of mitomycin C by means of the daily treatment with the ineffective dose of 10 or 1 microgram/kg of mitomycin C. It is considered that most
In order to improve the deposition of mitomycin C (MMC) in the administered site, water-insoluble mitomycin C-albumin conjugate (MMC-G-BSA) was prepared. MMC was covalently attached to the glutarylated bovine serum albumin (G-BSA) in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide
Primary atrophic rhinitis (PAR) is a well-known old disease characterized by a roomy nose and extensive crustations. This study was designed to investigate the effect of topical Mitomycin-C as an adjunct to medical treatment with respect to objective and subjective improvement in BACKGROUND
Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granuloma that is endemic in Egypt and is caused by gram-negative bacilli (Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis). The nasal mucosa is affected in almost all cases, which causes nasal obstruction, anosmia, and epistaxis. The disease usually passes through an atrophic

Thirty-four patients with advanced gastric cancers had received continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) for prevention or treatment of peritoneal dissemination (PD). These patients received intra-abdominal perfusion 30-40 minutes by about 10-liter saline heated to 50-52 degrees C
Mitomycin-C (MMC) is the most frequently used agent for prevention of excessive scarring at the osteotomy site after endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EEDCR), which, however, being applied during the final stage of the surgery, shows questionable effectiveness.
OBJECTIVE
to evaluate the
A cross-linked hyaluronan (HA) hydrogel that contained a covalently bound derivative of the anti-proliferative drug mitomycin C (MMC) was synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The HA-MMC hydrogel was prepared by coupling MMC-aziridinyl-N-acrylate with thiol-modified HA followed by
BACKGROUND
This study was conducted to determine long term survival rates and the pattern of failure in patients with carcinoma of the oral cavity treated with induction chemotherapy or preoperative radiotherapy followed by surgery.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was performed of 141 eligible
