OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility, dosimetry, tolerability and efficacy of systemically administrated p-[(131)I]iodo-L-phenylalanine ((131)IPA) combined with hypo-fractionated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme
Misonidazole (MISO), a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer, has been shown in vivo to enhance tumor cell killing by melphalan (LPAM) with little or no enhancement of normal tissue injury. A Phase I trial was conducted using MISO p.o. 2 hr before i.v. LPAM. The highest doses used were the single maximum
Sixty breast cancer patients with hormone-resistant metastatic disease who had progressed after chemotherapy with low-dose cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) or with L-phenylalanine mustard underwent treatment with a low-dose Adriamycin regimen,i.e., 20 mg/m2, intravenously on
Peptichemio (PTC) is a mixture of six synthetic peptides of m-L-phenylalanine mustard. It acts with both alkylating and antimetabolic effects, interfering with the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. PTC was administered iv to 18 previously untreated children with advanced neuroblastoma at a dose
Peptichemio is a peptide complex of m-L-phenylalanine mustard. A clinical evaluation of this agent was conducted in 116 patients, of whom 104 were evaluable for both toxicity and response. The majority of patients had solid tumors. The drug was administered iv daily for 3 days at doses of 20-75
BACKGROUND
Dietary iron supplementation is associated with gastrointestinal (GI) side effects including vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Although inorganic iron in high concentrations may be damaging to the intestinal mucosa, we hypothesize that there are physiological effects on the GI tract that
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease. Both medical and surgical choices provide symptomatic treatment. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a conventional treatment for hematological diseases, has demonstrated its effectiveness in acute and chronic
