procarbazine and Cancer of Prostate

procarbazine has been researched along with Cancer of Prostate in 11 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.

"The national Prostatic Cancer Project has evaluated single and combination chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of patients with advanced prostatic cancer that has been unresponsive to hormonal therapy."3.75Chemotherapy of hormonally unresponsive prostatic carcinoma. ( deKernion, JB; Lindner, A, 1984)
"In the past 20 years, 3,500 prostate cancer patients have been recruited in 16 phase III trials in untreated and advanced disease and in seven phase II trials in hormone-refractory, metastatic disease."2.69European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) prostate cancer trials, 1976-1996. ( Denis, L, 1998)
" It has become evident that DES at a dosage of 3 mg/day carries a significantly higher risk of overall cardiovascular toxicity than does cyproterone acetate, but severe cardiovascular complications did not differ between treatment groups."2.65Treatment of prostatic cancer: the EORTC experience--preliminary results of prostatic carcinoma trials. ( Schroeder, FH, 1984)
"Procarbazine was associated with excessive toxicity, resulting in many patients (28%) discontinuing therapy within the first 3 weeks and closure of this particular arm of the study."2.65Comparison of procarbazine, imidazole-carboxamide and cyclophosphamide in relapsing patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate.
