azathioprine and Experimental Neoplasms

azathioprine has been researched along with Experimental Neoplasms in 28 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

"A current southeastern cancer study group protocol for the treatment of multiple myeloma involves induction with BCNU, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone (BCP) and maintenance with either melphalan and prednisone (MP), prednisone, Adriamycin, imuran, and vincristine (PAIV), or delayed treatment of relapsed cases following induction."7.66Assessment of myeloma maintenance regimen of prednisone. Adriamycin, imuran, and vincristine in a murine plasmacytoma model. ( Cohen, HJ; Durant, JR; Ghanta, VK; Hiramoto, RN; Silberman, HR, 1981)
