chlorambucil and Alopecia

chlorambucil has been researched along with Alopecia in 15 studies

Chlorambucil: A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (Merck Index, 11th ed)
chlorambucil : A monocarboxylic acid that is butanoic acid substituted at position 4 by a 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl group. A chemotherapy drug that can be used in combination with the antibody obinutuzumab for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Alopecia: Absence of hair from areas where it is normally present.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Chlorambucil may hold advantages over the immunosuppressive drugs normally recommended in this condition, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide, as it appears less liable to cause important marrow suppression and, unlike cyclophosphamide is not associated with alopecia and haemorrhagic cystitis."7.65Treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus including nephritis with chlorambucil. ( Dunnill, MS; Halley, W; Holt, JM; Oliver, DO; Snaith, ML; Stephenson, AC, 1973)
"A group of 47 patients with advanced breast cancer were treated with a combination of prednimustine, methotrexate, 5-FU, and tamoxifen."3.66Prednimustine in combination with methotrexate and 5-FU (PMF): a pilot study. ( Boesen, E; Mouridsen, HT, 1982)

"Azathioprine was best tolerated, but gave only medium results whereas procarbazine, as a very potent drug, had the highest rate of side effects (especially depression of bone marrow, infections, gastrointestinal manifestations etc."1.25[Side effects in immunosuppressive therapy].
