carmustine and Cancer of Testis

carmustine has been researched along with Cancer of Testis in 9 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
"Fifteen patients with germ cell neoplasms (9 testicular primary, 4 extragonadal, 2 adult teratoma syndrome) with features indicative of a poor prognosis were treated with chemotherapy followed by surgery."2.66Combination chemotherapy including VP-16 for poor prognosis germ cell neoplasms. ( Bukowski, RM; Montie, JE; Smith, GW, 1988)
"In small cell lung cancer initial high dose therapy followed by non-cross-resistant regimens may prove effective."2.37High dose chemotherapy in solid tumours in adults. ( Peters, W; Souhami, R, 1986)
" Two doses of carmustine at intervals of one week could eradicate the disease even during the phase of logarithmic growth of the leukaemic cells, this result depending upon the level of treatment and time of dosing post-inoculation with leukaemic cells."1.27Testicular invasion and relapse and meningeal involvement in a rat T-cell leukaemia. ( Bock, M; Jackson, H; Jackson, NC; Lendon, M, 1984)
