carmustine and Infections

carmustine has been researched along with Infections 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.

Infections: Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms or their toxins or by parasites that can cause pathological conditions or diseases.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"High-dose BEAM chemotherapy (BCNU, etoposide, Ara-C, and melphalan) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is frequently used as consolidative therapy for patients with recurrent or refractory Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma."3.83Outpatient administration of BEAM conditioning prior to autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma is safe, feasible, and cost-effective. ( Baran, A; Barr, PM; Becker, MW; Friedberg, JW; Liesveld, JL; Milner, LA; Phillips, GL; Reid, RM; Wedow, L, 2016)
"Severe infections were seen as often with VBMCP as with VBMCP + rIFN(alpha2) (13% vs."2.69The addition of interferon or high dose cyclophosphamide to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma: phase III Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Clinical Trial EST 9486. ( Greipp, PR; Kay, NE; Keimowitz, RM; Kyle, RA; Lenhard, RE; Leong, T; Oken, MM; Van Ness, B, 1999)
"Sixty-five patients with hematological malignancies (25 multiple myeloma, 18 Hodgkin's disease, 22 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas) who received a carmustine-based regimen followed by autologous PBPC transplantation, were studied retrospectively to evaluate the incidence of post-transplant non-infective pulmonary complications (NIPCs), risk factors predictive of NIPCs, and response to steroids."2.69Pulmonary toxicity following carmustine-based preparative regimens and autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation in hematological malignancies. ( Alessandrino, EP; Bernasconi, C; Bernasconi, P; Caldera, D; Colombo, A; Klersy, C; Malcovati, L; Martinelli, G; Nascimbene, C; Varettoni, M; Vitulo, P; Volpini, E, 2000)
"We studied 19 breast cancer (BC) patients and 17 multiple myeloma (MM) patients entered in a high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) program of tandem autografting with CD34+ cell-selected PBPC."1.32Hemopoietic recovery and infectious complications in breast cancer and multiple myeloma after autologous CD34+ cell-selected peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. ( Amodeo, R; Anghel, G; De Rosa, L; Majolino, I; Pandolfi, A; Riccardi, M, 2004)
"The median time to disease progression and median survival were 1."1.31Four-cycle high-dose therapy with hematopoietic support for metastatic breast cancer: no improvement in outcomes compared with single-course high-dose therapy. ( Blume, KG; Chao, NJ; Feiner, RH; Hu, WW; Johnston, LJ; Long, GD; Negrin, RS; Shizuru, JA; Stockerl-Goldstein, K; Wong, RM, 2000)
"Despite the fact that follicular lymphomas are both chemo- and radiosensitive, the disease is generally non-curable."1.31Long-term follow-up of autologous stem-cell transplantation for follicular and transformed follicular lymphoma. ( Berglund, A; Carlson, K; Enblad, G; Glimelius, B; Hagberg, H, 2000)
" HDT appeared to be somewhat more toxic in the elderly patients: a higher peak CRP value (P = 0."1.31Feasibility and toxicity of high-dose chemotherapy supported by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in elderly patients (>/=60 years) with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: comparison with patients <60 years treated within the same protocol. ( Jantunen, E; Mahlamäki, E; Nousiainen, T, 2000)
" The results of this study demonstrate that the use of CD34(+) cells is safe and has no adverse effects either with respect to haematological, immune reconstitution or to infections after HDT."1.31High-dose therapy in patients with Hodgkin's disease: the use of selected CD34(+) cells is as safe as unmanipulated peripheral blood progenitor cells. ( Blystad, AK; Delabie, J; Holte, H; Kvalheim, G; Kvaløy, S; Smeland, E, 2001)
