semustine and Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

semustine has been researched along with Carcinoma, Hepatocellular in 7 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.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular: A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

" Despite moderately elevated transaminase levels (all cases) and bilirubin levels (three cases), plasma Adriamycin profiles in hepatoma patients were not elevated (terminal half-life of 30 hours) and were indistinguishable from that of non-hepatoma patients with normal liver functions."2.65Adriamycin and methyl-CCNU combination therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: clinical and pharmacokinetic aspects. ( Bateman, JR; Chan, KK; Chlebowski, RT; Ryden, VM; Tong, MJ; Weiner, JM, 1981)
"Twenty patients with malignant hepatoma were treated with sequential intraarterial doxorubicin (72-hour continuous infusion) followed by systemic 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and semustine (methyl CCNU)."1.27Chemotherapy of malignant hepatomas with sequential intraarterial doxorubicin and systemic 5-fluorouracil and semustine.
