carmustine and Retinal Diseases

carmustine has been researched along with Retinal Diseases in 9 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.

Retinal Diseases: Diseases involving the RETINA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Nine patients with advanced breast cancer were referred for visual symptoms after high-dose chemotherapy with cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and carmustine and autologous bone marrow transplantation without total body irradiation or local head irradiation."3.69Retinopathy and optic neuropathy in bone marrow transplantation for breast cancer. ( Jaffe, GJ; Khawly, JA; Peters, WP; Petros, W; Rubin, P, 1996)
"Eight patients with malignant gliomas were monitored with clinical examinations to study the effects of the combination of intravenous administration of carmustine and infraophthalmic intra-arterial administration of cisplatin on retinal and optic nerve function."3.68Maculopathy caused by intra-arterially administered cisplatin and intravenously administered carmustine. ( Hiesiger, E; Holopigian, K; Kupersmith, MJ; Noble, K; Seiple, WH; Warren, F, 1992)
" The water-soluble ACNU (nimustine) is an alternative to other nitrosoureas in the treatment of gliomas."3.68Thermal enhancement of ACNU and potentiation of thermochemotherapy with ACNU by hypertonic glucose in the BT4An rat glioma. ( Dahl, O; Schem, BC, 1991)
