thiotepa and Germinoma

thiotepa has been researched along with Germinoma in 9 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).

Germinoma: A malignant neoplasm of the germinal tissue of the GONADS; MEDIASTINUM; or pineal region. Germinomas are uniform in appearance, consisting of large, round cells with vesicular nuclei and clear or finely granular eosinophilic-staining cytoplasm. (Stedman, 265th ed; from DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, pp1642-3)

"Paclitaxel is an antineoplastic agent that is used in the treatment of a variety of solid tumors."5.35Acute transient encephalopathy following paclitaxel treatment in an adolescent with a recurrent suprasellar germinoma. ( Fangusaro, J; Finlay, J; Rook, J; Rosser, T, 2008)
" Since such treatment is relatively toxic, pharmacokinetic characteristics of total and ultrafiltered platinum, representing different species of platinum complexes formed, were investigated in 29 patients in relation to toxicity."2.70Toxicity of high-dose carboplatin: ultrafiltered and not total plasma pharmacokinetics is of clinical relevance. ( Beyer, J; Jaehde, U; Kloft, C; Siegert, W, 2002)
"Eleven patients with germ cell cancer relapsing from a complete remission and 7 patients with refractory germ cell cancer and/or an unresectable partial remission received salvage chemotherapy with one to two courses of carboplatin (800 mg/m2) and etoposide (500 mg/m2 on days 1, 3, and 5), followed by either one or two courses of carboplatin (1600 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (6 g/m2), and thiotepa (480 mg/m2) divided over 4 days with autologous bone marrow transplantation and/or peripheral stem cell support."2.68Pilot study of a high-dose carboplatin-based salvage strategy for relapsing or refractory germ cell cancer. ( Richel, DJ; Rodenhuis, S; Schornagel, JH; ten Bokkel Huinink, WW; van der Wall, E; Vlasveld, LT, 1995)
"Paclitaxel is an antineoplastic agent that is used in the treatment of a variety of solid tumors."1.35Acute transient encephalopathy following paclitaxel treatment in an adolescent with a recurrent suprasellar germinoma. ( Fangusaro, J; Finlay, J; Rook, J; Rosser, T, 2008)
" The toxic death rate was 1%."1.32Toxicity of the high-dose chemotherapy CTC regimen (cyclophosphamide, thiotepa, carboplatin): the Netherlands Cancer Institute experience. ( Baars, JW; Holtkamp, MJ; Rodenhuis, S; Schornagel, JH; Schrama, JG, 2003)
