thiotepa and Glioblastoma

thiotepa has been researched along with Glioblastoma in 8 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).

Glioblastoma: A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Between April 1986 and March 1989, ten patients under 21 years of age with histologically confirmed malignant astrocytoma, received marrow-ablative chemotherapy with either thiotepa and Etoposide (five patients) or thiotepa, Etoposide and BCNU (five patients), followed by bone marrow 'rescue'."5.06High-dose multi-agent chemotherapy followed by bone marrow 'rescue' for malignant astrocytomas of childhood and adolescence. ( August, C; Bayever, E; Finlay, JL; Freid, A; Kamani, N; Kramer, E; Packer, R; Rorke, L; Sutton, L; Zimmerman, R, 1990)
" We report our experience with a 19-year-old girl with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) of the deep temporal region recurring 6 months after completing an intensive treatment that included preradiation chemotherapy (chemotherapy as a preradiation "sandwich" phase) with a myeloablative course of thiotepa, tumor bed radiotherapy and postradiation maintenance chemotherapy."3.73A case of relapsing glioblastoma multiforme responding to vinorelbine. ( Biassoni, V; Casanova, M; Gandola, L; Massimino, M; Spreafico, F, 2006)
"Nineteen patients with primary malignant gliomas were treated with thioTEPA."3.66Phase II evaluation of thioTEPA for treatment of central nervous system tumors. ( Edwards, MS; Levin, VA; Pischer, TL; Seager, ML; Wilson, CB, 1979)
