carmustine and Sensitivity and Specificity

carmustine has been researched along with Sensitivity and Specificity in 7 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.

Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" To determine whether forced cell-cycle progression selectively sensitizes tumor cells to alkylating agents, we examined the effects of overexpressing the E2F-1 protein (a positive regulator of cell-cycle progression) on the sensitivity of two malignant human glioma cell lines, U-251 MG and D-54 MG, to BCNU and temozolomide."7.71Adenovirally-mediated transfer of E2F-1 potentiates chemosensitivity of human glioma cells to temozolomide and BCNU. ( Fueyo, J; Gomez-Manzano, C; Groves, MD; He, J; Hu, M; Lemoine, MG; Liu, TJ; Mitlianga, P; Yung, AW, 2001)
