carmustine and Leukemia, Myeloid

carmustine has been researched along with Leukemia, Myeloid in 23 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.

Leukemia, Myeloid: Form of leukemia characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of the myeloid lineage and their precursors (MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS) in the bone marrow and other sites.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A 42-year-old male patient with a history of occupational exposure to benzene presented with pancytopenia."3.69t(9;13)(q34;q12) chromosomal translocation persisting 4 years post autologous bone marrow transplantation for secondary AML despite morphological remission. ( Mahendra, P; Marcus, RE; Nacheva, E; Richards, EM; Sinclair, P, 1996)
"At ABMT, 17 patients were in untreated relapse and one was in third complete remission (CR)."2.68Autologous bone marrow transplantation for patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia in relapse after autologous blood stem cell transplantation. ( Bonanad, S; Carral, A; de la Rubia, J; Jarque, I; Larrea, L; López, F; Martín, G; Martínez, J; Picón, I; Sanz, GF; Sanz, MA; Sempere, A; Soler, MA, 1996)
"Six patients, four with Hodgkin's disease and two with non-Hodgkin lymphomas, developed leukemic complications, myelodysplasia (MDS) in four cases and overt acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in two."2.68High risk of therapy-related leukemia after BEAM chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for previously treated lymphomas is mainly related to primary chemotherapy and not to the BEAM-transplantation procedure. ( Geisler, C; Myhre, J; Pedersen, M; Pedersen-Bjergaard, J, 1997)
"Hodgkin's disease is curable in the majority of patients, although a proportion of patients are resistant to or relapse after initial therapy."1.30High-dose BEAM chemotherapy with autologous haemopoietic stem cell transplantation for Hodgkin's disease is unlikely to be associated with a major increased risk of secondary MDS/AML. ( Devereux, S; Goldstone, AH; Gregory, W; Hancock, B; Harrison, CN; Hoskin, P; Hudson, GV; Linch, DC; MacMillan, AK; Milligan, D; Newland, AC; Winfield, D, 1999)
"Two patients treated for chronic myeloid leukemia with high doses of CCNU (1100 mg/m2 and 1240 mg/m2, respectively) developed a fatal pulmonary fibrosis."1.27Pulmonary fibrosis subsequent to high doses of CCNU for chronic myeloid leukemia. ( Bernaudin, JF; Cordonnier, C; Lange, F; Mital, P; Rochant, H; Vernant, JP, 1983)
"Chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) terminates in a disease similar to acute leukemia."1.26Blast crisis of chronic granulocytic leukemia. Morphologic variants and therapeutic implications. ( Canellos, GP; Gralnick, HR; Rosenthal, S; Whang-Peng, J, 1977)
