chlorambucil and Lymphoma, Follicular

chlorambucil has been researched along with Lymphoma, Follicular in 36 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.

Lymphoma, Follicular: Malignant lymphoma in which the lymphomatous cells are clustered into identifiable nodules within the LYMPH NODES. The nodules resemble to some extent the GERMINAL CENTER of lymph node follicles and most likely represent neoplastic proliferation of lymph node-derived follicular center B-LYMPHOCYTES.

"To evaluate the effect of epirubicin on therapeutic response and survival in patients with indolent nonfollicular B-cell lymphomas (INFL) treated with pulsed high-dose chlorambucil."5.10Treatment of indolent B-Cell nonfollicular lymphomas: final results of the LL01 randomized trial of the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio dei Linfomi. ( Baldini, L; Brugiatelli, M; Cavanna, L; Colombi, M; Federico, M; Gobbi, P; Goldaniga, M; Liberati, M; Lombardo, M; Luminari, S; Merli, F; Morabito, F; Sacchi, S; Silingardi, V; Stelitano, C, 2003)
"No cases of progression occurred in minimal residual disease (MRD) negative patients after six years of follow-up."2.94The UK NCRI study of chlorambucil, mitoxantrone and dexamethasone (CMD) versus fludarabine, mitoxantrone and dexamethasone (FMD) for untreated advanced stage follicular lymphoma: molecular response strongly predicts prolonged overall survival. ( Bishton, MJ; Clifton-Hadley, L; Haynes, A; Lush, R; McMillan, A; Patmore, R; Rule, S; Turner, D; Wilson, W, 2020)
"Of 79 evaluable patients, 58 (73%) had follicular lymphoma, 13 (16%) mantle cell lymphoma and 8 (10%) lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma."2.73Initial chemotherapy with mitoxantrone, chlorambucil, prednisone impairs the collection of stem cells in patients with indolent lymphomas--results of a randomized comparison by the German Low-Grade Lymphoma Study Group. ( Dörken, B; Dreyling, M; Forstpointner, R; Freund, M; Ganser, A; Hiddemann, W; Hoster, E; Huber, C; Ludwig, WD; Nickenig, C; Trümper, L; Unterhalt, M, 2007)
"In patients with advanced-stage follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), conventional chemotherapy remains a noncurative approach, and no major improvement in overall survival has been achieved in recent decades."2.72Combined cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHOP) improves response rates but not survival and has lower hematologic toxicity compared with combined mitoxantrone, chlorambucil, and prednisone (MCP) in follicular and mantle cell ly ( Dreyling, M; Hiddemann, W; Hoster, E; Lengfelder, E; Nickenig, C; Pfreundschuh, M; Reiser, M; Trumper, L; Unterhalt, M; Wandt, H, 2006)
"The biology of follicular lymphoma evidently includes the potential for tumor dormancy after therapies with varied mechanisms of action, resulting in clinical inactivity for many years."2.69Anti-idiotype antibodies can induce long-term complete remissions in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without eradicating the malignant clone. ( Czerwinski, DK; Davis, TA; Levy, R; Liles, TM; Maloney, DG, 1998)
"Fewest relapses have been seen in patients who received IFN-alpha 2b throughout."2.67Interferon-alpha 2b in the treatment of follicular lymphoma: preliminary results of a trial in progress. ( Bailey, N; Blackledge, G; Crowther, D; Deakin, D; Lister, TA; Norton, A; Price, CG; Rohatiner, AZ; Steward, W, 1991)
"Two cases of CLL and one each of follicular lymphoma and pseudolymphoma achieved partial remission."1.27[Phase II study of chlorambucil in patients with hematological malignancies]. ( Horikoshi, N; Imajoh, K; Inoue, K; Itoh, Y; Mukaiyama, T; Nagamine, D; Ogawa, M; Ozeki, H; Shinagawa, K, 1987)
" We conclude that PMN is effective for FL and CLL, and that in addition, it has an advantage in that its mild side effects allow long-term administration through outpatient clinics, so that the quality of life for patients is not impaired."1.27[Phase II study of prednimustine in follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia]. ( Horikoshi, N; Imajou, K; Inoue, K; Ito, Y; Miyaoka, K; Mukaiyama, T; Nakamura, T; Ogawa, M; Ozeki, H; Ueno, K, 1987)
"Low-grade malignant lymphomas are treated best with conventional doses of an alkylating agent."1.26[Chemotherapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (author's transl)]. ( Schmidt, CG, 1977)
