semustine and Benign Neoplasms

semustine has been researched along with Benign Neoplasms in 18 studies

Semustine: 4-Methyl derivative of LOMUSTINE; (CCNU). An antineoplastic agent which functions as an alkylating agent.
semustine : An organochlorine compound that is urea in which the two hydrogens on one of the amino groups are replaced by nitroso and 2-chloroethyl groups and one hydrogen from the other amino group is replaced by a 4-methylcyclohexyl group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" On closer examination, the agents that appear to be responsible for these especially adverse effects are methotrexate and methyl-CCNU."2.65Clinical trials and drug toxicity in the elderly. The experience of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group. ( Begg, CB; Carbone, PP, 1983)
" Hematologic toxicity, however, was significantly different, with earlier time to the most severe blood count depressions, more frequent occurrence of severe depression, and a larger percentage of patients requiring dosage reduction on the 6-week regimen."2.65A randomized comparison of two dosage schedules of methyl CCNU: three-week versus six-week treatments. ( DeWys, WD; Khandekar, JD; Kosova, LA; Perlia, CP; Slayton, RE; Taylor, SG; Wolter, J, 1979)
" In order to enhance clinical effects of the nitrosoureas, further investigation of the design in therapeutic schedules on the basis of their pharmacokinetic characteristics will be needed."2.36[Cancer chemotherapy with special reference to pharmacokinetics of nitrosoureas]. ( Wakui, A, 1982)
"Cancer is one of the most serious illnesses of the elderly."1.27Management of cancer in the elderly. Implications of the aging process. ( Neilan, BA, 1985)
