semustine and Remission, Spontaneous

semustine has been researched along with Remission, Spontaneous 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.

Remission, Spontaneous: A spontaneous diminution or abatement of a disease over time, without formal treatment.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The combination of vincristine, methyl-CCNU, and methotrexate with or without MER-BCG achieved a 2% complete response (CR) and a 11% partial response (PR) with a median duration of 25-29 weeks in 124 evaluable patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum."5.04Chemotherapy versus chemoimmunotherapy in advanced adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum: a prospective randomized study. ( Barnes, P; Cooper, R; Howard, V; Muss, HB; Rhyne, L; Richards, F; Spurr, CL; Stuart, JJ; White, DR, 1979)
" 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)
"Fifty-two untreated patients with colorectal cancer were randomized to receive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) alternating either with methotrexate (MTX) or Baker's Antifol (BAF) with or without the immunostimulant, levamisole (Program I)."2.64Sequential chemoimmunotherapy of colorectal cancer: evaluation of methotrexate, Baker's Antifol and levamisole. ( Bedikian, AY; Bodey, GP; Burgess, MA; Mavligit, GM; Rodriguez, V; Valdivieso, M, 1978)
