OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to determine whether urinary interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels could be used to predict a tumor-free response to intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy in bladder cancer patients. METHODS A total of 46 patients with superficial bladder cancer underwent an initial

Background: Azotemia occurs in cats administered doxorubicin, but risk factors have not been explored. Objective: To determine incidence of progressive increases in serum

Most of the head and neck tumors are squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), which are relatively sensitive to chemotherapeutic agents. Cis-platinum (CDDP), 5-fluorouracil and taxanes are widely used worldwide for SCCs, and CDDP is the most common agent. Renal toxicity is a well-known adverse effect of

BACKGROUND We aimed to clarify the reason for the lower dosage of cis-platinum (CDDP) in patients with head and neck cancer in Japan compared with that in other countries, by evaluating renal function. METHODS We studied 375 patients with head and neck cancer who had been hospitalized from January

OBJECTIVE Knowledge of transporters responsible for the renal secretion of creatinine is key to a proper interpretation of serum creatinine and/or creatinine clearance as markers of renal function in cancer patients receiving chemotherapeutic agents. METHODS Creatinine transport was studied in

Development of an enteric fistula after surgery is a major therapeutic complication. In this study, we retrospectively examined the potential relationship between preoperative laboratory data and patient mortality by collecting patient data from a tertiary medical center. We included patients who

Cisplatin, a major antineoplastic drug used in the treatment of solid tumors, is a known nephrotoxin. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the prevalence and severity of cisplatin nephrotoxicity in 54 children and its impact on height and weight.We recorded the weight, height, serum creatinine,

Monitoring renal function in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies is vital to the safe administration of therapeutic agents. Renal impairment is frequent in elderly patients (i.e., age ≥ 65) with cancer, despite normal serum creatinine levels in most patients. Because serum

BACKGROUND Certain chemotherapeutic agents commonly used for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) require minimum threshold renal function for administration. To determine how such requirements affect treatment options, we evaluated renal function patterns in this population. METHODS We

The purpose of this study was to assess the extent of the systemic absorption of cisplatin during intraoperative hyperthermic peritoneal lavage (IHPL) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. METHODS The pharmacokinetics and nephrotoxicity of cisplatin were analyzed in patients receiving

BACKGROUND Elderly cancer patients commonly have renal function decline. This warrants particular caution during the administration of renally excreted cancer drugs or those with established nephrotoxicity. METHODS An International Society for Geriatric Oncology task force was formed to discuss

The Renal Insufficiency and Anticancer Medications (IRMA) study reported the high prevalence of renal insufficiency in cancer patients. In this special report, we focused on patients with lung cancer, emphasizing some specific findings in this population of patients. Data on patients with lung

Olaparib (AZD2281) is an oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with antitumour activity in cancer patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutations and in patients with homologous recombination deficiency. In this dose-finding study, patients were randomized to olaparib 10, 30, 100, 200 or 400 mg

No established supportive therapy to prevent and treat chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN) is available. Minimizing the severity of PN is therefore critical in clinical use. We aimed to determine when and how often PN occurs in association with paclitaxel plus carboplatin (PC therapy), a

Animal studies suggest that the kidney is involved in the elimination of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), which is used for patients with neutropenia during cancer chemotherapy. Since anticancer drugs induce nephrotoxicity, it is important to clarify the role of the
