mitoxantrone and Mesothelioma

mitoxantrone has been researched along with Mesothelioma in 9 studies

Mitoxantrone: An anthracenedione-derived antineoplastic agent.
mitoxantrone : A dihydroxyanthraquinone that is 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone which is substituted by 6-hydroxy-1,4-diazahexyl groups at positions 5 and 8.

Mesothelioma: A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We performed a multicenter phase II trial to evaluate the impact on the activity, efficacy, symptom control and safety of using two active regimens in a sequential schedule (cisplatin/gemcitabine followed by mitoxantrone/methotrexate/mitomycin) as first-line chemotherapy for unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM)."9.12Sequential chemotherapy with cisplatin/gemcitabine (CG) followed by mitoxantrone/methotrexate/mitomycin (MMM) in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. A multicenter Italian Phase II Study (SITMP1).

"A 44-year-old man who had achieved a complete remission of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma after the intraperitoneal administration of 25 mg/m2 mitoxantrone presented with clinical and radiological signs of intestinal obstruction suggestive of recurrent disease at about 2 years following the initial treatment."7.68Intestinal obstruction due to diffuse peritoneal fibrosis at 2 years after the successful treatment of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with intraperitoneal mitoxantrone. ( Gallee, MP; Kroon, BB; Rodenhuis, S; Taal, BG; Vlasveld, LT, 1992)
"46 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma were entered in a phase II study of mitoxantrone 14 mg/m2 every 3 weeks."7.68Mitoxantrone in malignant pleural mesothelioma: a study by the EORTC Lung Cancer Cooperative Group. ( Dalesio, O; Giaccone, G; Kirkpatrick, A; Mattson, K; Planteydt, HT; van Breukelen, FJ; van Zandwijk, N, 1991)
" The aim of this study was to assess the response of four mesothelioma cell lines, derived from diffuse asbestos-related pleural malignant mesothelioma, to methotrexate alone and in combination with recombinant IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma."5.29Interferon (IFN)-alpha and IFN-gamma in combination with methotrexate: in vitro sensitivity studies in four human mesothelioma cell lines.
