carmustine and Pregnancy

carmustine has been researched along with Pregnancy in 33 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.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cerebral metastases were the sole or major cause of death in 8/9 patients who relapsed following control with DTIC for nine months or longer, and one patient developed a carcinoma of the breast following therapy with DTIC and BCNU."2.64Chemotherapy of malignant melanoma with dimethyl traizeno imidazole carboxamide (DITC) and nitrosourea derivatives (BCNU, CCNU). ( Berris, R; Hill, GJ; Parkin, P; Philpott, GW; Ruess, R, 1974)
"It has been concluded that cortical dysplasia induced by intrauterine BCNU administration results in delayed hippocampal maturation, which is successfully restored by intrauterine melatonin treatment."1.36Investigation of maternal melatonin effect on the hippocampal formation of newborn rat model of intrauterine cortical dysplasia. ( Ateş, U; Baka, M; Kültürsay, N; Uyanikgil, Y, 2010)
"The experimental model of cortical dysplasia (CD) obtained by administering carmustine (1-3-bis-chloroethyl-nitrosurea [BCNU]) in pregnant rat uterus mimics the histopathological abnormalities observed in human CD patients: altered cortical layering, and presence of heterotopia and dysmorphic/heterotopic neurons."1.35Expression of layer-specific markers in the adult neocortex of BCNU-Treated rat, a model of cortical dysplasia. ( Frassoni, C; Inverardi, F; Moroni, RF; Regondi, MC; Spreafico, R; Watakabe, A; Yamamori, T, 2009)
"Cytogenetic analysis showed complex chromosomal abnormalities including 11q23 rearrangement, which is frequently found in topoisomerase II inhibitor-related hematologic malignancies."1.31A case of treatment-related myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia following high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. ( Bahng, HS; Jang, GD; Jeong, YH; Ji, HS; Kim, EK; Kim, SH; Kim, SW; Kim, WK; Lee, JS; Park, CJ; Park, IG; Suh, CW; Suh, EJ, 2002)
"Procarbazine and BCNU were given for 5 months before conception and throughout the first and second trimesters, and streptozotocin was given throughout the third trimester."1.27Successful pregnancy following continuous treatment with combination chemotherapy before conception and throughout pregnancy. ( Chudley, AE; Schapira, DV, 1984)
