Experimental chemotherapy has been studying with choriocarcinoma in nude mice transplanted from drug resistant patients. The following results: 1) the combined therapy with MTX and ACD was not always effective and in place of one of them, the combination of CPM was effective 2) addition of VCR was effective; were obtained. These results were applied to two patients in clinic. 1) The first patient failed to obtain complete remission by the course of ACD, MTX + ACD, and MTX + ACD + CPM (MAC) therapy. Then the combination therapy with ACD + CPM made her HCG titer regressed to negative immediately. She is free from disease now. 2) The HCG titer and pulmonary metastasis of the second patient showed resistance to MAC therapy, CHAMOMA therapy, and the combined therapy with MTX. The combination chemotherapy with ACD + CPM + VCR made her HCG titer become to regressed and the pulmonary metastasis reduce to 1/4 in size. The clinical application of the results from experimental chemotherapy was defined to be possible. The experimental model will contribute to establish the schedule of the rational chemotherapy for drug-resistant choriocarcinoma.

D008727 Methotrexate An antineoplastic antimetabolite with immunosuppressant properties. It is an inhibitor of TETRAHYDROFOLATE DEHYDROGENASE and prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolate, necessary for synthesis of thymidylate, an essential component of DNA.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D002822 Choriocarcinoma A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL). Choriocarcinomas
D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
