carmustine and Pancreatic Neoplasms

carmustine has been researched along with Pancreatic Neoplasms in 25 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.

Pancreatic Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a prospective, multi-centre, randomized study of 109 patients with metastatic gastro-intestinal adenocarcinomas the response rate, survival time and side-effects of two drug combinations, carmustin +5-fluorouracil and carmustin + ftorafur, were compared (same carmustin dosage in both groups)."5.04[A prospective multi-centre study of the response of metastatic gastrointestinal tumours (author's transl)]. ( Arnold, H; Drings, P; Geldmacher, J; Hartwich, G; Kredel, L; Mayer, M; Neidhardt, B; Queisser, W; Rösch, W; Schaefer, J; von Oldershausen, HF; Wahrendorf, J, 1979)
"A case of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis secondary to bischloronitrosourea (BCNU) in a 49-year-old man with carcinoma of the pancreas is reported."1.26Pulmonary toxicity of bischloronitrosourea: report of a case with transient response to corticosteroid therapy. ( Dalton, JF; Hastedt, R; Marshall, D; Raymond, LW; Richter, JE, 1979)
"The therapy of cancer of the colon still remains unsatisfactory: the rate of remissions could be increased, but survival remains unaltered."1.26[Current state of therapy for gastrointestinal tumors]. ( Hartmann, D; Obrecht, JP, 1978)
"Although advanced gastrointestinal cancer is the most commonplace problem encountered by the medical oncologist, this group of diseases has proved exceedingly resistant to past chemotherapy efforts."1.25Clinical management of advanced gastrointestinal cancer. ( Moertel, CG, 1975)
