thiotepa and Cardiac Cancer

thiotepa has been researched along with Cardiac Cancer in 3 studies

Thiotepa: A very toxic alkylating antineoplastic agent also used as an insect sterilant. It causes skin, gastrointestinal, CNS, and bone marrow damage. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), thiotepa may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck Index, 11th ed).

" The following protocols are proposed: CIRP (colchicine in recurrent pericarditis)--colchicine vs placebo in chronic/recurring pericarditis without pericardiocentesis; TRIPE (triamcinolone in pericardial effusion)--intrapericardial instillation of triamcinolone + 6 months colchicine vs pericardial puncture without instillation + 6 months colchicine; NEPIN (neoplastic effusion and pericardial instillation)--pericardiocentesis and drainage + intrapericardial instillation of cisplatin or thiotepa."3.70New directions in diagnosis and treatment of pericardial disease. A project of the Taskforce on Pericardial Disease of the World Heart Federation. ( Maisch, B; Ristić, AD; Seferovic, PM, 2000)
"Pericardial effusion is a known complication of many advanced malignancies, with strong impact both on quality of life and prognosis."2.43[Treatment of neoplastic pericardial effusions]. ( Martinoni, A, 2006)
