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
Thirty patients with disseminated malignant melanoma received the combination DTIC, BCNU, actinomycin D, and vincristine. The objective response rate was 17 percent concomitant with moderate-to-severe nausea and vomiting in 80 percent of patients. Hematologic toxicity was transient. In the dose and
Advanced testicular tumors in 34 patients were treated by combination chemotherapy with bleomycin, vinblastine, vincristine, cis platinum and actinomycin D. The therapy was divided into 3 phases: 1) induction, 2) consolidation and 3) maintenance. Induction lasted 4 weeks and consisted of 420 mg.
To evaluate the impact of periodic shortage of actinomycin-d (Act-d) in the treatment of Brazilian patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) after methotrexate and folinic acid rescue (MTX/FA) resistance, treated alternately with carboplatin or etoposide as a Eighteen evaluable children who relapsed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were treated with intermittent, high-dose actinomycin D. Objective responses occurred in four of 11 children who had relapsed with chemotherapy which did not contain an anthracycline. The major toxic effects included
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of one course of prophylactic actinomycin D in reducing the malignant sequelae requiring chemotherapy in high-risk complete hydatidiform mole (CHM).
METHODS
A double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was carried out at King Chulalongkorn Memorial
Cis-platinum, vinblastine, bleomycin and actinomycin D were used in the treatment of 24 patients with advanced testicular tumors. There were 8 seminomas and 16 nonseminomas. 19 patients were in stage III B, 2 in stage III A and 3 in stage II B. 7 patients were previously treated. Complete remission
Twenty-six patients with disseminated malignant melanoma were treated with intermittent bolus DTIC and actinomycin D in an escalating dose schedule, starting at 650 and 1 mg/m2 respectively. Courses were repeated at 3--4-week intervals. Twenty four patients were evaluable for toxicity and 22 were
Sixty adult patients with disseminated melanoma refractory to DTIC or Dacarbazine were given chemoimmunotherapy with intermittent high single dose Actinomycin-D and Levamisole. Actinomycin-D was given at a dose of 1.5-2.0 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 to 4 weeks. Levamisole was given in a dose of 150
OBJECTIVE
In a prospective crossover study, we evaluated the safety and antiemetic activity of granisetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, compared with conventional antiemetics regimen, including metoclopramide, in pediatric cancer patients.
METHODS
Twenty-two children with
This randomized study, conducted by the Eastern cooperative Oncology Group, compared Adriamycin (doxorubicin) (70 mg/m2) versus vincristine (1.4 mg/m2) and Adriamycin (50 mg/m2); and cyclophosphamide (750 mg/m2) versus vincristine (1.4 mg/m2), actinomycin-D (0.4 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (750
Although 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) combination chemotherapy provides a satisfactory therapeutic response in patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs), it has severe side effects. The current study analyzed the therapeutic effects and side effects of tegafur plus actinomycin D (Act-D) vs.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy and toxicity of 3 single agent chemotherapeutic regimens in low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (LRGTN).
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted at a referral center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Patients presenting with metastatic or non-metastatic LRGTN
We aimed to identify an optimal regimen for low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (LR-GTN) providing reduction in dosage and toxicity/side effects, enhancement of therapeutic efficacy, and a shorter treatment duration.A total of 149 LR-GTN patients OBJECTIVE
To compare two single-agent chemotherapy (ChT) regimens evaluating, in first-line treatment, response and side effects and, in final single-agent treatment, the outcomes, among Brazilian patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), according to International Federation
