OBJECTIVE
To better understand the pathophysiology of the fever often manifested by immunocompromised patients undergoing chemotherapy that become neutropenic and suffer a bacterial infection.
METHODS
Prospective animal study.
METHODS
A physiology laboratory in a medical school setting.
RESULTS
We
In an attempt to improve the poor prognosis of invasive and/or high-grade bladder cancer after total cystectomy, we tried a combination of regional irradiation with hyperthermia (RH) therapy and systemic M-VAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin, and cisplatin) chemotherapy followed by surgery.
OBJECTIVE
The antivascular and antitumor activity of vinblastine and hyperthermia at different tumor volumes were examined in the subcutaneous (s.c.) BT(4)An rat glioma model.
METHODS
The influence of vinblastine (3 mg/kg) and hyperthermia (44 degrees C/60 min) on tumor growth was assessed in small
Between 1985 and 1989, 36 consecutive male patients with advanced germ-cell tumors, who had failed to be cured with either the cisplatin, vinblastine, bleomycin (PVB) or the cisplatin, etoposide, bleomycin (PEB) combinations, entered either of two modified salvage therapy regimens consisting of
In order to estimate its ability to predict the thermochemosensitivity of human cancers, a rapid in vitro assay based on morphological changes in the nucleus was performed on eight different human tumors (four malignant melanomas, two lung tumors, one renal carcinoma, and leukemia K-562). Nude mice,
A combination regimen consisting of cisplatin, bleomycin, and vinblastine was evaluated in 86 patients with metastatic testicular tumors. Prior therapy included surgical resection of primary tumor (84 patients), radiotheapy (21 patients), chemotherapy (33 patients). Thirteen patients received prior
About 30% of all Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are ≥60 years old. As lenalidomide has promising single agent activity in multiple relapsed HL, we replaced bleomycin in ABVD with lenalidomide in this phase-I trial. Patients aged ≥60 years with early-unfavourable- or advanced-stage HL (Eastern
A total of 42 patients with stage IIB nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis after orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection received adjuvant chemotherapy with the modified vinblastine, actinomycin D, bleomycin, cyclophosphamide and cis-platinum regimen. Of the patients 29 had
Thirteen patients with metastatic malignant melanoma received interferon alpha-2a (Roferon-A) and vinblastine. The interferon dosage was increased from 3 x 10(6) IU to 9 x 10(6) IU daily in 10 weeks and thereafter 9 x 10(6) IU was administered three times weekly intramuscularly. Vinblastine
Identical twin Caucasian boys, age 3 months, were seen with fever of unknown origin, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia. The diagnosis of familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FEL) was suspected after examination of Twin A's bone marrow and confirmed by an open liver biopsy of Twin B.
Thirty-six evaluable patients with metastatic measurable breast carcinoma previously treated with CMF or CMFVP were given second-line chemotherapy with Adriamycin, vinblastine, and mitomycin C (AVM), as follows: Adriamycin 20 mg/m2 and vinblastine 6 mg/m2 by i. v. push on days 1, 8, and 15, and
We conducted a phase I/II clinical trial evaluating the sequential outpatient combination of S.C. recombinant human interleukin-2 (rIL-2; given at 10 MIU/m2 b.i.d. on days 3-5 weeks 1 and 4 and at 5 MIU/m2 on days 1, 3, and 5 of weeks 2 and 3), s.c. recombinant human alpha-interferon (rIFN-alpha;
Twenty-nine evaluable patients with metastatic carcinomatosis in whom initial workup failed to reveal the primary site were entered into this trial. Patients with histological evidence of adenocarcinoma (n = 15) received FAM, while patients with anaplastic carcinomas (n = 14) were given AVM.
Systemic amyloidosis is a clinical manifestation of the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in tissues because of persistent acute phase elevation and chronic inflammation. Its most common causes are inflammatory diseases and malignancies. Here, we present a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with systemic
Thirteen patients with metastatic melanoma and ten patients with advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) received interferon alfa-2a (Roferon-A) and vinblastine. In melanoma the interferon dose was 3-9 million IU i.m., escalated daily for 10 weeks, and in RCC the dose was 18 million IU three times a week
