چکیده
Method In this case a premedication protocol of dexamethasone 10 mg + diphenhydramine 50 mg + famotidine 20 mg by mouth were administered 13 hours, 6 hours and 1 hour respectively prior to the infusion of 40 mg of oxaliplatin in 1:10000, 1:1000, 1:100, 1:10 graded dilutions. Each dilution was infused over 1 hour under close telemetry monitoring. A final dilution that contained 90 % of the dose was infused over 4 hours until completion.

Hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin: what nurses need to know.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third-leading cause of cancer death in the United States. With the advent of new chemotherapy drugs, such as oxaliplatin, for CRC, disease-free and long-term survival has improved in this patient population. As oxaliplatin use increases, more hypersensitivity reactions may be expected. The etiology of these reactions is unclear but may be a combination of immunolo...

Oxaliplatin, a third generation novel platinum compound is the most effective first line chemotherapeutic agent for colorectal cancer (CRC) in combination with 5FU and leucovorin. It is indicated for pancreatic, gastric and testicular cancers combined with bevacuzimab, capecitabine, irinotecan and other cytotoxic agents. However, moderate to severe hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) during or aft...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Desensitization protocols for patients with immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHSRs) have proven to be effective, but they are not widely used in clinical practice because of impracticalities such as high cost, long procedure duration, and a lack of trained personnel. We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of oxaliplatin-induced IHSRs and assess measures...

Background and Aim: Induction of apoptosis is one of the main goals in the production of anticancer drugs. Recently, the evaluation of the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and apoptosis in cancer cells has been promising. Caspase8, caspase9. Methods: In this experimental-laboratory study, sw480 colorectal cancer cells were treated with different concentrations o...
متن کاملOxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity involves TRPM8 in the mechanism of acute hypersensitivity to cold sensation
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OPN) is commonly associated with peripheral hypersensitivity to cold sensations (CS) but the mechanism is unknown. We hypothesized that the transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8), a putative cold and menthol receptor, contributes to oxaliplatin cold hypersensitivity. To determine whether the TRPM8 is involved in acute OPN, varying concent...
