[Chemotherapy of inoperable endothoracic tumours (results of the Karrer and aco polycytostatic therapy) (author's transl)]. 1979

U Gatzemeier, and G Jüngst, and G Wagner

The success of chemotherapy of inoperable endothoracic cancer largely depends on interdisciplinary cooperation. 30 years of research have succeeded in developing some promising combinations of cytostatic agents. Administered sequentially they are better tolerated and this has made outpatient treatment possible. 87 persons had polycytostatic therapy according to the Karrer/Sighart formula. It was followed by a difinite improvement in the general condition of the patients, but without any substantial lengthening of the average survival time. The ACO scheme (Seeber/Schmidt) has been used since April 1977 in 42 persons. Preliminary results indicate a definite prologation of survival time, especially in cases of small-cell bronchogenic carcinoma.

D011736 Pyridoxine The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).

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.
