carmustine and Kidney Diseases

carmustine has been researched along with Kidney Diseases 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.

Kidney Diseases: Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Autologous stem cell transplantation after high-dose melphalan for the treatment with multiple myeloma has resulted in prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival in patients under 65 years."5.09The role of autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma aged 65 years and over. ( Bhagwati, N; Horton, C; Kulkarni, S; Mainwaring, P; Mehta, J; Pandha, H; Powles, R; Singhal, S; Sirohi, B; Treleaven, J, 2000)
"Twenty-three patients with metastatic melanoma were treated with combination therapy consisting of dacarbazine (220 mg/m2) and cisplatin (25 mg/m2) iv daily for 3 days every 3 weeks, carmustine (150 mg/m2) iv every 6 weeks, and tamoxifen (10 mg) orally twice daily."3.67Combination chemotherapy and hormonal therapy in the treatment of malignant melanoma. ( Bellet, RE; Berd, D; Mastrangelo, MJ; McClay, EF, 1987)
"Twenty-one patients with relapsed Hodgkin's disease that had progressed after both MOPP-like and ABVD-like regimens were treated with CBV plus cisplatin (90 mg/m2) and ABMT."2.67Cisplatin-CBV with autologous bone marrow transplantation for relapsed Hodgkin's disease. ( Cabanillas, F; Dicke, KA; Hagemeister, F; Horwitz, LJ; Jagannath, S; Spinolo, JA; Spitzer, G; Velásquez, W, 1993)
" In patients with abnormal renal function, dosage adjustment is often required to improve the renal tolerance, and also to limit the risk of extra-renal toxicities (such as haematological toxicities) induced by a drug overdosage, in those patients with reduced drug-elimination."1.35[Chemotherapy and renal toxicity]. ( Deray, G; Isnard-Bagnis, C; Janus, N; Karie, S; Launay-Vacher, V, 2008)
