Avm (adriamycin, vinblastine, methotrexate) neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced or inflammatory carcinoma of the breast.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thirty-eight consecutive patients with locally advanced (stage IIIb/IVa-c) or inflammatory breast cancer (stage IVd) underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy in our department between 1978-1990. All patients in this phase II study, received from three to five courses of neoadjuvant AVM regimen

Long-term results of a combined modality approach in treating inflammatory carcinoma of the breast.

Only registered users can translate articles

Twenty-eight patients with inflammatory carcinoma of the breast were managed initially by induction chemotherapy consisting of 3 courses of a combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and 5-fluorouracil. Twenty-two showed a partial response, and 21 underwent mastectomies.

Group IV nociceptors develop axonal chemical sensitivity during neuritis and following treatment of the sciatic nerve with vinblastine.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have previously shown that nerve inflammation (neuritis) and transient vinblastine application lead to axonal mechanical sensitivity in nociceptors innervating deep structures. We also have shown that these treatments reduce axonal transport and have proposed that this leads to functional

Neutropenia, inflammation, and the kinetics of transfused neutrophils in rabbits.

Only registered users can translate articles

A rabbit model was used to study the effects of neutropenia and inflammation on the intravascular distribution, survival, and tissue accumulation of transfused neutrophils. Donor blood labeled with [(3)H]thymidine was infused into normal or neutropenic (vinblastine treated) animals. Inflammation was

Actual 5-year survival of patients with stage IIIB breast carcinoma: phase II trial of methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, cisplatin, and folinic acid.

Patients with stage IIIB breast carcinoma represent only a small proportion of women with breast cancer in western countries but may constitute up to 50% of cases in underdeveloped countries. The prognosis remains poor despite aggressive treatment. Nineteen patients (11 with inflammatory breast

Mechanism of anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticosteroids.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucocorticosteroids react with blood monocytes and tissue macrophages to produce a peptide factor which stimulates the random migration of polymorphs in vitro in the capillary-tube migration system. An identical effect on polymorph migration is produced by colchicine and vinblastine, drugs which

Smooth muscle sensitization induced by vinblastine.

At the optimal concentration of 10 mg/l, vinblastine increases the submaximal contractions of the isolated guinea-pig ileum induced by the following agonists: acetylcholine, histamine, nicotine, angiotensine, prostaglandins E1 and F2alpha (but not serotonine). It also increases the contractions

[Vinblastine treatment for extensive non-X histiocytosis (xanthoma disseminatum)].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Xanthoma disseminatum is a non-Langerhans histiocyte proliferation, described by Montgomery in 1938. This rare entity is characterized by skin and mucous membrane xanthomatosis, associated with diabetes insipidus and normal lipid metabolism. In this case report, vinblastine produced the

Phase II evaluation of methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (M-VAC) in advanced, measurable breast carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to determine whether methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin, each individually active in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), could, in combination, produce an overall response rate, median survival, and long-term survival sufficiently promising to merit its

The mediator of cellular immunity. VI. Effect of the antimitotic drug vinblastine on the mediator of cellular resistance to infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

The antimitotic drug vinblastine (Vbl) has a profound impact upon the specifically sensitized lymphocytes that transfer cellular resistance to Listeria monocytogenes. A 12-h pulse of the drug given to prospective donors during the first week of an immunizing Listeria infection inhibits the delivery

The biologic activity of mast cell granules. VI. The effect of vinblastine-induced neutropenia on rat cutaneous late phase reactions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions in human and rat skin may be followed by late phase reactions (LPR). A consistent feature of both human and rat LPR is the early histologic appearance of neutrophils, which, in rats, is followed by the later appearance (8 to 24 hr) of mononuclear cells. To

A Phase II trial of neoadjuvant methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin in the treatment of patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Traditionally, primary surgical therapy is considered unsuitable for the treatment of patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC). Multiple reports have documented the efficacy of primary chemotherapy in this group of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the

An outpatient phase II study of subcutaneous interleukin-2 and interferon-alpha-2b in combination with intravenous vinblastine in metastatic renal cell cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

A prospective phase II trial was carried out to define the activity of a low-dose subcutaneous regimen of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon alpha-2b (IFN-alpha) in combination with intravenous administration of vinblastine (VLB) in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC). Thirty-one

[The role of the leukocytes in the mast cell reaction in an inflammatory focus].

Only registered users can translate articles

Models of acute infectious and aseptic peritonitis in rats with vinblastine-induced leukopenia have shown the regulatory influence of leukocytes on mast cells consisting in antimicrobic and activating effects. While infectious inflammation is characterized by increased mast cell degranulation both

Crystal-induced inflammation in canine joints. II. Importance of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

In an experimental model, the polymorphonuclear leukocyte was found to be necessary to the inflammation induced by crystals. This conclusion is based on (a) the invariable migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes into the synovial fluid of canine joints injected with urate crystals, (b) the
