carmustine and Pneumonia

carmustine has been researched along with Pneumonia in 13 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.

Pneumonia: Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Our aim was to describe the incidence, clinical course, and risk factors for idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) after high-dose chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, carmustine, and thiotepa followed by autologous stem cell transplantation for high-risk breast cancer."3.72Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for high-risk breast cancer. ( Champlin, RE; Giralt, SA; Rondon, G; Saliba, RM; Shannon, VR; Ueno, NT; Wong, R, 2003)
"Three patients died secondary to pneumonitis-related complications."1.38Risk factors for development of pneumonitis after high-dose chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, BCNU and etoposide followed by autologous stem cell transplant. ( Abramson, JS; Armand, P; Brown, JR; Chen, YB; Feng, Y; Fisher, DC; Freedman, AS; Jacobsen, ED; LaCasce, AS; Lane, AA; McAfee, SL; Neuberg, DS; Spitzer, TR, 2012)
"A patient who developed pneumonitis immediately after the administration of carmustine (BCNU), within exactly the same field as previous irradiation, is presented."1.29Recall lung pneumonitis due to carmustine after radiotherapy. ( Agrawal, S; Geddes, DM; Gore, M; Thomas, PS, 1995)
