busulfan and Medulloblastoma

busulfan has been researched along with Medulloblastoma in 11 studies

Medulloblastoma: A malignant neoplasm that may be classified either as a glioma or as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of childhood (see NEUROECTODERMAL TUMOR, PRIMITIVE). The tumor occurs most frequently in the first decade of life with the most typical location being the cerebellar vermis. Histologic features include a high degree of cellularity, frequent mitotic figures, and a tendency for the cells to organize into sheets or form rosettes. Medulloblastoma have a high propensity to spread throughout the craniospinal intradural axis. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2060-1)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We previously demonstrated that Busulfan-Thiotepa (Bu-Thio) and ASCT effectively treated patients with locally relapsed medulloblastoma after surgery and conventional chemotherapy."9.11High-dose busulfan and thiotepa followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in previously irradiated medulloblastoma patients: high toxicity and lack of efficacy. ( Benhamou, E; Couanet, D; Fillipini, B; Grill, J; Habrand, JL; Hartmann, O; Kalifa, C; Valteau-Couanet, D, 2005)
"The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcome of young children with high risk localized medulloblastomas (newly diagnosed classical or incompletely resected) treated by high-dose busulfan-thiotepa with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCT) followed by focal radiation therapy (RT)."7.80High-dose busulfan-thiotepa with autologous stem cell transplantation followed by posterior fossa irradiation in young children with classical or incompletely resected medulloblastoma.

"The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the combination of busulfan with radiotherapy on TE-671 human medulloblastoma cells since unexpected clinical toxicity of busulfan was reported during the treatment of brain tumors, suggesting a possible radiopotentiation."7.68In vitro combination of high dose busulfan with radiotherapy on medulloblastoma cells: additive effect without potentiation. ( Bey, P; Chastagner, P; Marchal, C; Merlin, JL; Weber, B, 1991)
"We previously demonstrated that Busulfan-Thiotepa (Bu-Thio) and ASCT effectively treated patients with locally relapsed medulloblastoma after surgery and conventional chemotherapy."5.11High-dose busulfan and thiotepa followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in previously irradiated medulloblastoma patients: high toxicity and lack of efficacy.

"The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcome of young children with high risk localized medulloblastomas (newly diagnosed classical or incompletely resected) treated by high-dose busulfan-thiotepa with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCT) followed by focal radiation therapy (RT)."3.80High-dose busulfan-thiotepa with autologous stem cell transplantation followed by posterior fossa irradiation in young children with classical or incompletely resected medulloblastoma. ( Bergthold, G; Dhermain, F; Dufour, C; El Kababri, M; Goma, G; Grill, J; Kieffer, V; Raquin, MA; Sainte-Rose, C; Valteau-Couanet, D; Varlet, P, 2014)
"We evaluated the antitumor activity of busulfan against a panel of tumor cell lines and xenografts in athymic nude mice derived from childhood high-grade glioma, adult high-grade glioma, ependymoma, and medulloblastoma."3.69Busulfan therapy of central nervous system xenografts in athymic mice. ( Aaron, RH; Bigner, DD; Colvin, OM; Elion, GB; Friedman, HS; Graham, M; Keir, S, 1994)
"The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the combination of busulfan with radiotherapy on TE-671 human medulloblastoma cells since unexpected clinical toxicity of busulfan was reported during the treatment of brain tumors, suggesting a possible radiopotentiation."3.68In vitro combination of high dose busulfan with radiotherapy on medulloblastoma cells: additive effect without potentiation. ( Bey, P; Chastagner, P; Marchal, C; Merlin, JL; Weber, B, 1991)
" The highest bioavailability was obtained with busulphan in DMSO administered i."1.30Busulphan is active against neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma xenografts in athymic mice at clinically achievable plasma drug concentrations.
