procarbazine and Anemia

procarbazine has been researched along with Anemia in 14 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.

Anemia: A reduction in the number of circulating ERYTHROCYTES or in the quantity of HEMOGLOBIN.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine whether epoetin alfa reduces anemia-related fatigue, improves other aspects of health-related patient-recorded outcomes (PROs), reduces the number of RBC transfusions, and has an impact on freedom from treatment failure (FFTF) and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL)."5.14Epoetin alfa in patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma: results of the randomized placebo-controlled GHSG HD15EPO trial. ( Borchmann, P; Diehl, V; Engert, A; Flechtner, HH; Fuchs, M; Haverkamp, H; Josting, A; Lohri, A; Nogova, L; Rank, A; Sökler, M; Sturm, I; Topp, MS; Villalobos, M; Vogelhuber, M; Zenz, T; Zijlstra, J, 2010)
"To improve survival of elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), we conducted a phase II study with high-dose methotrexate (MTX) combined with procarbazine and CCNU."2.74High-dose methotrexate combined with procarbazine and CCNU for primary CNS lymphoma in the elderly: results of a prospective pilot and phase II study. ( Deckert, M; Feuerhake, F; Finke, J; Ihorst, G; Illerhaus, G; Marks, R; Müller, F; Ostertag, C, 2009)
"However, leukocytopenia was observed in many patients despite combined use of G-CSF, suggesting the dose and administration method of THP should be studied further."2.68[Usefulness of THP-COPBLM therapy in elderly patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]. ( Nakayama, M; Niitsu, N; Umeda, M, 1997)
" This side effect could be explained by a cycling of the hematopoietic stem-cells and call to some caution when androgens are used during cancer chemotherapy."2.64[Increased hematological toxicity of antineoplastic drugs with simultaneous androgenotherapy (author's transl)]. ( Barthélémy, M; Bilski-Pasquier, G; Blanc, CM; Bouchard, M; Bousser, J; Zittoun, R, 1977)
"Acquired ichthyosis is a rare condition that can reveal an unsuspected haematological malignancy, thus allowing early diagnosis and management."1.38[Acquired ichthyosis and haematological malignancies: five cases]. ( Baybay, H; Berrady, R; Bono, W; El Hatimi, A; Gallouj, S; Khammar, Z; Lahlou, M; Lamchachti, L; Mernissi, FZ, 2012)
"In three patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease treated with combination chemotherapy (MOPP) incorporating vincristine, and receiving at the same time a fixed daily dose of 8000 U of rHu-EPO subcutaneously for 10 to 15 days because of myelosuppressive anemia, myeloaspirates were performed one week before and 24 hours after the administration of vincristine."1.28Selective metaphasic arrest of erythroblasts by vincristine in patients receiving high doses of recombinant human erythropoietin for myelosuppressive anemia. ( Marmont, AM, 1992)
"Azathioprine was best tolerated, but gave only medium results whereas procarbazine, as a very potent drug, had the highest rate of side effects (especially depression of bone marrow, infections, gastrointestinal manifestations etc."1.25[Side effects in immunosuppressive therapy]. ( Thumb, N, 1975)
