thiotepa and Gliosarcoma

thiotepa has been researched along with Gliosarcoma in 1 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).

Gliosarcoma: Rare mixed tumors of the brain and rarely the spinal cord which contain malignant neuroectodermal (glial) and mesenchymal components, including spindle-shaped fibrosarcoma cells. These tumors are highly aggressive and present primarily in adults as rapidly expanding mass lesions. They may arise in tissue that has been previously irradiated.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pretreatment with phenobarbital, under conditions in which liver CYP2B1 levels and liver microsomal thiotepa desulfuration to yield TEPA are both markedly increased, did not alter thiotepa's short-term (24-hr) cytotoxicity, as judged by a tumor excision assay, nor did it affect the extent of bone marrow toxicity associated with drug treatment."1.29Modulation of thiotepa antitumor activity in vivo by alteration of liver cytochrome P450-catalyzed drug metabolism. ( Chang, TK; Chen, G; Waxman, DJ, 1995)
