High-dose chemotherapy for recurrent medulloblastoma: time for a reappraisal.
M ore than a decade ago, Finlay et al. published a landmark article in which they demonstrated that a subset of patients with recurrent brain tumors of diverse histologic diagnosis could be salvaged with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell rescue. The preparatory regimen included only 2 drugs: thiotepa and etoposide. Hematopoietic growth factors were used to enhance count re...
متن کاملHigh Dose Androgen Therapy
We describe the clinical and biochemical features of six men with male pseudohermaphroditism due to androgen resistance. Each of the subjects had male-gender behavior but incomplete virilization. The underlying defects in androgen metabolism were defined by studies of the 5a-reductase enzyme and the androgen receptor in fibroblasts cultured from biopsies of genital skin. Four of the six have 5a...
متن کاملChanges in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
متن کاملTherapy of Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia with desferrioxamine.
Recently Gordeuk et all have observed a drastic increase of the rate of parasite clearance in patients with asymptomatic Plasmodium falcipanun infection. They suggested that this may be partially caused by limitation of iron by chelation, although they argued that this may not be the only mechanism limiting growth of P falcipanun. Previous studies have shown elevated levels of neopterin in urin...
متن کاملBreast Cancer: High-Dose Therapy.
Breast cancer has become the leading indication for high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCR) in North America. The rapid increase in HDC/ASCR for breast cancer has been driven by belief in the response rates and survival times demonstrated in phase II studies, which have been higher than that of historical controls. However, there is a growing body of data to suggest...
