A 20-year-old man with a germ cell tumor who experienced an ischemic stroke as a complication of cisplatin/etoposide/bleomycin based chemotherapy is reported. The previously reported cases are reviewed as well as the different physiopathologic mechanisms associated with vascular toxicity of this
We administered selective intra-arterial chemotherapy consisting of a combination of etoposide and cisplatin to 20 patients with malignant glioma (seven with recurrent and six with enlarged tumors after initial treatment, and seven newly diagnosed patients). Evaluation of efficacy was based on
The review of perennial researches of the authors on a problem of radiation-induced aging is presented. From the point of view of radiogenetics it is represented perspective to investigate influence of an exogenous irradiating in small doses on fruit fly with defined mutation by phenotypes, that
BACKGROUND
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy - mainly the bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) regimen - has significantly improved the prognosis of testicular germ cell tumours (GCT). However, it has serious vascular side effects, including acute ischemic stroke.
METHODS
A 37-year-old man with no
Chemotherapy for malignant brain tumors has a limited efficacy largely due to restricted blood-brain barrier permeability for chemotherapeutic drugs. Intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) has the advantage of increased uptake during the first passage of the drugs through tumor capillaries. Initial IAC
Arterial thromboembolic events are not common after chemotherapy. We present a case of a cerebrovascular accident, which developed after chemotherapy in a patient with a germ cell tumor. A 34-year-old man with a testicular germ cell tumor who did not have any comorbid disease was admitted to
Neuronal apoptotic cell death plays an important role in many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and ischemic stroke. Spatholobi Caulis (SC) has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, viral infection, and
BACKGROUND
Cisplatin and etoposide combination chemotherapy is the most commonly used regimen for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an agent with little intrinsic activity against NSCLC: However, there is increasing evidence that 5-FU is synergistic with cisplatin
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for many cancer types. Its toxicity profile includes drug-induced vascular damage. Clinicians should be aware of its varied presentation, including acute and chronic vascular events involving the arterial and venous system. This is a case of an
Relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) responds poorly to standard therapies. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is implicated in the development of GBM and the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab has shown early clinical promise against malignant glioma. We treated six patients with
Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) is the most common and successful chemotherapy regimen for germ-cell tumor (GCT) patients, accompanied by a bleomycin-induced dose-dependent lung toxicity in certain patients. In an attempt to reduce bleomycin-toxicity, we developed a This is a case of choriocarcinoma that did not regress after chemotherapy treatment. A 30-year-old female patient (gravida 2, para 2), presented to our ER with stroke and persistent mild pelvic pain 2 months after a Caesarean section. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an ischemic left hemicerebellar
Small molecule inhibitors of apoptosis hold considerable promise for the treatment of a host of diseases, including neurodegeneration, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Many compounds that delay or prevent apoptotic death either reduce the amount of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) or are
Intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy is a form of regional delivery to brain tumors, designed to enhance the intra-tumoral concentrations of a given drug, in comparison with the intravenous route. Drugs that are likely to benefit from IA delivery have a rapid systemic clearance and include carmustine
Uwhangchungsimwon (pill, UC) is one of the traditional Korean medical prescriptions that has been most frequently used for stroke. To characterize the effects of UC on human neuronal cells, the human neuroblastoma cell line IMR32 was treated with UC, and cell viability, cell proliferation,
