carmustine and Neuroblastoma

carmustine has been researched along with Neuroblastoma in 18 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.

Neuroblastoma: A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; Curr Opin Oncol 1998 Jan;10(1):43-51)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty-six children with advanced neuroblastoma were consolidated with cisplatin, BCNU, etoposide, melphalan, 21 Gy of local radiotherapy, and bone marrow rescue in a multicenter study."5.07High-dose consolidation with local radiation and bone marrow rescue in patients with advanced neuroblastoma. ( Bender-Götze, C; Burdach, S; Ebell, W; Friedrich, W; Herrmann, F; Klingebiel, T; Koscielniak, E; Kremens, B; Schmid, H; Siegert, W, 1994)
"Myeloablative treatment intensification in 25 patients diagnosed when older than 12 months of age with stage IV neuroblastoma included sequential delivery of cisplatin 120 mg/m2 x 1, hyperfractionated radiation (2,100 cGy) to the primary site and adjacent lymph nodes, carmustine (BCNU) 200 mg/m2 x 1, melphalan 60 mg/m2/d x 3 (n = 13) or thiotepa 300 mg/m2/d x 3."3.68Myeloablative combination chemotherapy without total body irradiation for neuroblastoma.
