floxuridine and Sarcoma

floxuridine has been researched along with Sarcoma 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.

Sarcoma: A connective tissue neoplasm formed by proliferation of mesodermal cells; it is usually highly malignant.

"In the current study, the authors set out to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) associated with a combination of gemcitabine and dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS), to obtain preliminary information on the activity of this combination, and to explore possible pharmacodynamic interactions between gemcitabine and DTIC."9.11Phase I clinical trial of fixed-dose rate infusional gemcitabine and dacarbazine in the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma, with assessment of gemcitabine triphosphate accumulation. ( Buesa, JM; Díaz, A; Esteban, E; Fernández, A; Fra, J; López-Pousa, A; Losa, R; Sierra, M, 2004)
