procarbazine and Anaplastic Ependymoma

procarbazine has been researched along with Anaplastic Ependymoma in 16 studies

Procarbazine: An antineoplastic agent used primarily in combination with mechlorethamine, vincristine, and prednisone (the MOPP protocol) in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease.
procarbazine : A benzamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-[(2-methylhydrazino)methyl]benzoic acid with the amino group of isopropylamine. An antineoplastic chemotherapy drug used for treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Metabolism yields azo-procarbazine and hydrogen peroxide, which results in the breaking of DNA strands.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The aim of this study was to examine the range of sensitivity of a panel of short-term cultures derived from different types of malignant childhood brain tumours including medulloblastoma, ependymoma and glioblastoma multiforme to three cytotoxic drugs, lomustine (CCNU), vincristine (VCR) and procarbazine (PCB)."3.70Chemosensitivity in childhood brain tumours in vitro: evidence of differential sensitivity to lomustine (CCNU) and vincristine. ( Darling, JL; Harding, B; Harkness, W; Hayward, R; Lewandowicz, GM; Thomas, DG, 2000)
"Sixty-five patients with malignant brain tumors were treated with a combination of BCNU (100 mg/m2 qd X 1) and procarbazine (100 mg/m2 qd X 14); the cycle was repeated in 1 month and then on a 6-week schedule with procarbazine being given for 21 days."2.64BCNU (NSC-409962) and procarbazine (NSC-77213) treatment for malignant brain tumors. ( Boldrey, EB; Crafts, DC; Elashoff, RM; Enot, KJ; Levin, VA; Pischer, TL; Schultz, MJ; Seager, M; Wilson, CB, 1976)

"Infants and young children who have brain tumors have a poor rate of survival and high treatment associated morbidity."1.30MOPP chemotherapy without irradiation as primary postsurgical therapy for brain tumors in infants and young children. ( Ater, JL; Bruner, J; Copeland, DR; Moore, B; van Eys, J; Woo, SY, 1997)
"Five children with brain tumors, who had had no prior chemotherapy, were treated with combination chemotherapy including nitrogen mustard, vincristine sulfate, procarbazine, prednisolone (MOPP) and intrathecal methotrexate."1.27[Combination chemotherapy with MOPP and intrathecal methotrexate in children with brain tumors].
