procarbazine and Nervous System Disorders

procarbazine has been researched along with Nervous System Disorders in 8 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 best treatment of follicular lymphoma remains to be determined because the long natural history of follicular lymphoma requires mature data for accurate analysis."2.70Chemotherapy plus interferon-alpha2b versus chemotherapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma. ( Avilés, A; Cleto, S; Díaz, N; Díaz-Maqueo, JC; García, EL; Neri, N; Talavera, A, 2001)
" Prospective pharmacokinetic studies to devise a rational dosing strategy for vinblastine in patients receiving ritonavir/lopinavir are warranted."1.38Incidence, predictors and significance of severe toxicity in patients with human immunodeficiency virus-associated Hodgkin lymphoma. ( Boro, J; Cheung, MC; Ezzat, HM; Harris, M; Hicks, LK; Leitch, HA; Lima, VD; Montaner, JS, 2012)
" Although the neurotoxic effects produced by different cytostatics present a different appearance and are partly of only sporadic or slight clinical importance, there is hardly a cytostatic which does not exercise a side effect on the nervous system."1.26[Neurotoxic side effects of cytostatic therapy (author's transl)]. ( Maurach, R; Strian, F, 1981)
