trimetrexate and Liver Neoplasms

trimetrexate has been researched along with Liver Neoplasms in 6 studies

Trimetrexate: A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA in AIDS patients. Myelosuppression is its dose-limiting toxic effect.

Liver Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the LIVER.
