carmustine and Cancer of Prostate

carmustine has been researched along with Cancer of Prostate in 15 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.

( deKernion, JB; Lindner, A, 1984)
"The efficacy of chemotherapy for prostatic cancer is difficult to evaluate owing to the low incidence of measurable indicator lesions and the resulting need for indirect response criteria."2.37Chemotherapy principles in the treatment of prostatic cancer. ( Könyves, I; Müntzing, J; Rozencweig, M, 1984)
"Stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer using CyberKnife with circular cone requires a long treatment time."1.91Optimization of Fluence Map for CyberKnife Raster Scanning Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy. ( Akino, Y; Mabuchi, N; Masai, N; Ogawa, K; Oh, RJ; Shiomi, H, 2023)
