procarbazine and Pneumonia

procarbazine has been researched along with Pneumonia in 13 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.

Pneumonia: Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We evaluated the efficacy and adverse effects of biweekly COP-BLAM (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, bleomycin, doxorubicin and procarbazine) therapy combined with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)."2.68Biweekly COP-BLAM (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, bleomycin, doxorubicin and procarbazine) regimen combined with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for intermediate-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"Advanced Hodgkin's disease is usually treated with six or more cycles of combination chemotherapy."2.43An unusual case of spontaneous remission of Hodgkin's disease after a single cycle of COPP-ABV chemotherapy followed by infectious complications. ( Bang, SM; Cheong, JW; Hahn, JS; Yang, WI, 2005)
" It is suggested that total focal dosage used after chemotherapy be reviewed since total dosage for the entire lymph collector in excess of 30 Gy might contribute to hazards of cardiopathology."1.35[Multivariate analysis of risk of cardiac complications in Hodgkin's lymphoma].

"Procarbazine is a chemotherapy methylating agent that has been used in combination with other drugs, perhaps most successfully in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease."1.31Pulmonary toxicity secondary to procarbazine. ( Mahmood, T; Mudad, R, 2002)
