foscarnet and Lymphoma, B-Cell

foscarnet has been researched along with Lymphoma, B-Cell in 2 studies

Foscarnet: An antiviral agent used in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Foscarnet also shows activity against human herpesviruses and HIV.
phosphonoformic acid : Phosphoric acid in which one of the hydroxy groups is replaced by a carboxylic acid group. It is used as the trisodium salt as an antiviral agent in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis, an inflamation of the retina that can lead to blindness) and as an alternative to ganciclovir for AIDS patients who require concurrent antiretroviral therapy but are unable to tolerate ganciclovir due to haematological toxicity.

Lymphoma, B-Cell: A group of heterogeneous lymphoid tumors generally expressing one or more B-cell antigens or representing malignant transformations of B-lymphocytes.

"Treatment with foscarnet, an inhibitor of viral-DNA polymerase, in three patients with EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) after heart (n = 2) and heart/kidney transplantation (n = 1), who did not respond to, or were not eligible for reduction of immunosuppression, resulted in complete remission (48+, 27 and 15 months respectively)."1.31Identification of early antigen BZLF1/ZEBRA protein of Epstein-Barr virus can predict the effectiveness of antiviral treatment in patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.
