carmustine and Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

carmustine has been researched along with Acute Lymphoid Leukemia in 16 studies

Carmustine: A cell-cycle phase nonspecific alkylating antineoplastic agent. It is used in the treatment of brain tumors and various other malignant neoplasms. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p462) This substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen according to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
carmustine : A member of the class of N-nitrosoureas that is 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)urea in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a nitroso group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The distribution of adverse prognostic factors was comparable in the two-induction arm."2.70Daunorubicin continuous infusion induces more toxicity than bolus infusion in acute lymphoblastic leukemia induction regimen: a randomized study. ( Bernard, M; Casassus, P; Delain, M; Desablens, B; Guilhot, F; Hunault-Berger, M; Ifrah, N; Jouet, JP; Milpied, N; Sadoun, A, 2001)
"Fifty-six patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, n = 26), Hodgkin's disease (HD, n = 17), or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, n = 13) with a history of previous radiation therapy were treated with cyclophosphamide (7."2.68High-dose cyclophosphamide, carmustine, and etoposide followed by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in patients with lymphoid malignancies who had received prior dose-limiting radiation therapy. ( Anasetti, C; Bensinger, WI; Buckner, CD; Clift, RA; Demirer, T; Lilleby, K; Martin, P; Petersen, FB; Sanders, J; Weaver, CH, 1995)
"Etoposide has also been tested in a wide range of combination regimens, but for many of these combinations, relatively few patients are included, and some combinations have only been tested in patients who have undergone autologous transplants."2.48High-dose etoposide in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. ( Ahmed, AB; Bruserud, O; Hatfield, KJ; Kittang, AO; Reikvam, H; Sjo, M; Tvedt, TH, 2012)
"Cotreatment with methoxyamine, a base excision repair inhibitor, did not sensitize CEM-R cells to TMZ, suggesting little or no contribution of N-alkylation to TMZ-induced cytotoxicity."1.35Carmustine-resistant cancer cells are sensitized to temozolomide as a result of enhanced mismatch repair during the development of carmustine resistance. ( Ogawa, M; Ueda, T; Yamauchi, T, 2008)
" Adverse prognostic factors for failure-free survival include high LDH at the time of autologous BMT, chemotherapy-refractory disease and multiple prior relapses."1.29High-dose chemotherapy with BEAC regimen and autologous bone marrow transplantation for intermediate grade and immunoblastic lymphoma: durable complete remissions, but a high rate of regimen-related toxicity. ( Andersson, B; Dimopoulos, M; Giralt, S; Khouri, I; Mehra, R; Przepiorka, D; Rodriguez, M; Suki, S; Tabocoff, J; van Besien, K, 1995)
