Accordingly, this study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics...

This trial compared four courses of PEI (cisplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide) or VeIP (vinblastine, ifosfamide, cisplatin) with three courses of PEI/VeIP followed by a single shot of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with CarboPEC (carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide) i...
متن کاملThe relationship between high-dose treatment and combination chemotherapy: the concept of summation dose intensity.
The most important variables for the clinical use of antitumor agents (AAs) are dose and combination chemotherapy. The objectives of this study were to analyze the relationship between these two variables and to propose a unified conceptual framework for the construct and interpretation of clinical trials. Definitions and variables with respect to dose include potency, therapeutic index, standa...
