floxuridine and Esophageal Neoplasms

floxuridine has been researched along with Esophageal Neoplasms in 8 studies

Floxuridine: An antineoplastic antimetabolite that is metabolized to fluorouracil when administered by rapid injection; when administered by slow, continuous, intra-arterial infusion, it is converted to floxuridine monophosphate. It has been used to treat hepatic metastases of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and for palliation in malignant neoplasms of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
floxuridine : A pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside compound having 5-fluorouracil as the nucleobase; used to treat hepatic metastases of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and for palliation in malignant neoplasms of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.

Esophageal Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the ESOPHAGUS.

"The sensitivity of cancer cells to capecitabine, which is an oral, tumor-selective pre-prodrug of 5-fluorouracil may correlate better to the TP/DPD ratio than to levels of either enzyme alone."1.33Development of a stereological method to measure levels of fluoropyrimidine metabolizing enzymes in tumor sections using laser scanning cytometry.

Trial Outcomes

Clinical Response

"Overall response = Complete response (CR) + Partial Response (PR). Evaluated via endoscopic ultrasounds, PET and CT scans of the chest:~Complete Response (CR) applies to participants complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease. No new lesion. No disease related symptoms. No evidence of non-evaluable disease, including tumor markers and other laboratory values.~Partial Response (PR) applies to participants with at least 50 percent reduction in the sum of the products of bi-dimensional perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions. No progression of evaluable disease. No new lesions." (NCT00448760)
