Ten patients with AML refractory to anthracyclines and cytosine arabinoside were treated with vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 and methotrexate (MTX) 2.5 gm/m2 by intravenous (IV) bolus on day 1 [citrovorum factor (CF) rescue began 24 h later], BCNU 80 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 900 mg/m2 IV 36 h after MTX
BACKGROUND
Inadvertent intrathecal administration of vincristine has been reported and is uniformly fatal except in two of three cases treated with spinal fluid exchange. We report a case of inadvertent direct intraventricular vincristine administration.
METHODS
A 59-year-old woman developed acute
Twenty-five patients with a variety of histologic types of advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma refractory to previous chemotherapy were entered into a trial of vincristine infusion. Patients received 5-day courses of vincristine 0.25 mg/m2/day by continuous intravenous infusion after an initial 0.5 mg
CONCLUSIONS
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare complication resulting from a variety of disorders. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and malnutrition. Vincristine-related pseudo-obstruction has been reported in the literature, but its description in
Patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer were given induction chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, cisplatin, and etoposide (COPE) every 3 weeks for four cycles. Responding patients then received chest and elective whole-brain irradiation. Patients presenting with brain
The toxicity and efficacy of the combination of pirarubicin (THP), etoposide, and vincristine were investigated in a phase I trial. The dose of THP was modified in steps of 10 mg/m2 or 5 mg/m2 differences, starting with 40 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1. Doses of etoposide (100 mg/m2 i.v. days 1-3) and
BACKGROUND
To address the feasibility and outcome of moderate dose intensification with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) conducted two studies evaluating dose-escalated cyclophosphamide and
Twenty-nine patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung were treated with a combination therapy consisting of vincristine 1 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, etoposide 200 mg/body p.o day 1-5 and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 i.v. day 1 (VEC) in 3 week interval. After 2 courses of VEC, four out of 10 patients with
The efficacy and toxicity of 120 mg/m2 etoposide and 100 mg/m2 carboplatin given i.v. daily x 3 together with 750 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide and 1.4 mg/m2 vincristine given i.v. on day 1 (ECCO) in a regimen given every 28 days for 6 courses was assessed in 90 (40 limited stage, 50 extensive stage)
Thirty patients with previously untreated, inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with cisplatin, etoposide and vincristine. Among twenty-nine evaluable patients, eight patients achieved partial response and the overall response rate was 28%. No patient achieved a complete
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a regimen of etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine in patients with metastatic, high-risk gestational trophoblastic tumors.
METHODS
Twelve women with metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma received 64 treatment
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects and toxicity of alternating cisplatin+etoposide (EP) and ifosfamide+vincristine+epirubicin (IVE) combination regimen in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
METHODS
We have treated 38 SCLC patients with 6 courses of alternating
Thirty-two patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant to cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (COPP) and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) were treated with a salvage chemotherapy regimen consisting of lomustine, etoposide, vindesine, and
Five patients with severe pemphigus vulgaris refractory to conventional therapy with azathioprine and corticosteroids were treated with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone. One patient was not evaluable, while the remaining four patients showed a complete response. Duration of response was
BACKGROUND
The research was to compare the efficacy and side effects of cisplatin or lobaplatin in combination with mitomycine (MMC) and vincristine in treating patients with cervical squamous carcinoma.
METHODS
Cervical squamous carcinoma patients who were pathologically diagnosed with stage Ib-IIb
