vinblastine/경색증

Left-chest pain and infarct-like ECG changes occurred in a 47-year-old man who had had an orchiectomy for embryonic carcinoma of the testes and was receiving the second cycle of chemotherapy with vinblastine, bleomycin and cisplatin. Only creatine kinase was slightly elevated (90 U/l) among the

OBJECTIVE In an effort to reduce the frequency of central nervous system (CNS) progression in patients with metastatic melanoma with ongoing systemic response to biochemotherapy, we modified our standard concurrent biochemotherapy regimen by replacing dacarbazine (DTIC) with oral

The present work examined whether polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration contributes to cortical and striatal brain damage and oxidative stress in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia. A 2-h occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery and ipsilateral common carotid artery was

This report describes the efficacy and toxicity of PAVe (procarbazine, Alkeran, vinblastine) and irradiation (RT) in the management of 159 patients with locally extensive or advanced stage Hodgkin's disease (HD) at Stanford University. Patients received six courses of chemotherapy alternating with

Between June 1988 and January 1980, 67 patients with pathologic stage III non-small cell lung cancer were randomized to receive either preoperative mitomycin, vinblastine, and cisplatin (MVP) chemotherapy (cisplatin 120 mg/m2, and mitomycin, 8 mg/m2 day 1 + 29, and vinblastine, 4.5 mg/m2 on day 1,

White blood cell involvement in the generation of cerebral infarcts was evaluated following ischemia and reperfusion injury in the rat. Control and leukopenic rats (induced by vinblastine, WBC counts < 1500/mm3) were compared in a global forebrain ischemic model after 1 h of ischemia and 1 h 15 min

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were reported to contribute to ischemia-reperfusion-induced brain damage. The present work examined whether PMN infiltration is deleterious in a severe model of transient focal cerebral ischemia and in which part PMNs contribute to oxidative stress and nitric

Among a total of 2147 patients admitted to our hospital for acute myocardial infarction between 1978 and 1987, three young patients aged 24, 29, and 39 years had previously been treated for Hodgkin's disease. Staging laparotomy, including splenectomy, had been performed in all three patients. Two

This 10-year follow-up study of 91 patients with disseminated testicular nonseminomatous cancer, treated with cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB) induction chemotherapy and vinblastine plus bleomycin maintenance chemotherapy for a planned period of 2 years, shows a 63% cure rate. The

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction is a major cause of excess long-term mortality in survivors of Hodgkin disease, but limited information exists on the effects of specific chemotherapy regimens used to treat these patients on their risk of death from myocardial infarction. METHODS We followed a

182 patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy for testicular cancer at Hannover University Medical School who were in complete remission (CR) for more than 1 year after therapy were randomly selected for the evaluation of late vascular toxicity. 90 patients with a mean age of 28 years

Three hundred ten patients with Stage II or Stage III breast cancer were entered on an adjuvant protocol consisting of a combination of 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (FACVP). In the second phase of the study, patients with estrogen receptor-negative

Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumour among young males aged 15-35 years. Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy has changed the outlook of this disease. Disseminated testicular cancer, once uniformly fatal, now has a cure rate of more than 80% with combination chemotherapy. Systematic

A 79-year-old woman of Mediterranean ascent suffered from corticosteroid-dependent chronic obstructive lung disease, hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG 1 and 2), decreased CD16 natural killer cell function and non-HIV related CD4 and CD8 lymphopenia. Such immunodeficiency could be either a variant of common
