thiotepa and Rhabdomyosarcoma

thiotepa has been researched along with Rhabdomyosarcoma 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).

Rhabdomyosarcoma: A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"From June 1997 to November 1999, 28 SRCT patients (median age, 26 years; 14 peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors [pPNETs], seven rhabdomyosarcomas [RMSs], and seven desmoplastic small round-cell tumors [DSRCTs]) received induction chemotherapy with ifosfamide, epirubicin, and vincristine followed by HD-CT."5.10High-dose chemotherapy in poor-prognosis adult small round-cell tumors: clinical and molecular results from a prospective study. ( Alloisio, M; Balzarotti, M; Bertuzzi, A; Castagna, L; Compasso, S; Nozza, A; Quagliuolo, V; Santoro, A; Siracusano, L; Soto Parra, H, 2002)
" Whenever one patient at one dosage level showed a grade III or grade IV reversible toxicity, additional patients were admitted (one by one) up to a maximum number of 6."2.69Phase I study of high-dose thiotepa with busulfan, etoposide, and autologous stem cell support in children with disseminated solid tumors. ( Bella, S; Burnelli, R; Garaventa, A; Locatelli, F; Melchionda, F; Paolucci, G; Pession, A; Prete, A, 1999)
"ThioTEPA was administered intravenously every three weeks, at a dose of 65 mg/m2."2.68A phase II study of thioTEPA in children with recurrent solid tumor malignancies: a Children's Cancer Group study. ( Balis, FM; Bleyer, WA; Broxson, E; Geyer, JR; Heideman, R; Krailo, MD; Poplack, D; Sato, JK, 1996)
"Patients with infratentorial brain metastases of highly malignant pediatric non-epithelial tumors are in a severe clinical state, but still can have longer and useful lives with aggressive multimodal treatments combined with radical surgical resection."1.37Infratentorial brain metastases of pediatric non-epithelial malignant tumors: three case reports. ( Kumabe, T; Niizuma, H; Osawa, S; Saito, R; Sonoda, Y; Tominaga, T; Watanabe, M, 2011)
