We evaluated a new drug pair, ifosfamide + doxorubicin, for such patients.\u0000\u0000\u0000PROCEDURE\u0000We estimated the complete and partial response rates (i.e., CR and PR) of 152 previously untreated children/adolescents with metastatic RMS entered on the IRS-IV pilot from July 1988 to October 1991 who received an \"up-front window\" of ifosfamide (1.8 gm/m(2)/day for 5 days) and doxorubicin (30 mg/m(2)/day for 2 days) given every 3 weeks for 12 weeks. This was followed by combination chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide (VAC), given every 3 weeks for an additional 36 weeks.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Of 115 patients evaluable for early response at 12 weeks, 28 (20%) had CR and 66 (43%) had PR. The ultimate CR rate was 52%. Overall, about one-third of patients survived. Prognostic factor analysis revealed that patients < 10 years old (P < 0.001), those with embryonal tumors (P = 0.002), or a GU primary site (P = 0.010), and those who lacked nodal disease (P = 0.041), and those who lacked bone or bone marrow metastasis (P < 0.001) fared better than did others.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The 63% CR + PR rate achieved at 12 weeks and overall 5-year FFS seen with this drug pair is similar to that achieved with previously evaluated drug combinations. We conclude that ifosfamide/doxorubicin is highly active in advanced RMS, and should be considered for inclusion in frontline therapy for children with intermediate or high-risk RMS.","PeriodicalId":18531,"journal":{"name":"Medical and pediatric oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":"442-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82585199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) for children with this type of leukemia.\u0000\u0000\u0000PROCEDURE\u0000The chemotherapy regimens consisted of an induction phase and very intensive consolidation followed by a reinduction phase and late intensification treatment. The selection of treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, allo-BMT, or autologous transplantation was made by each institute. The principal endpoint was the outcome of children with Ph(+) ALL according to the treatment options.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Thirty-two patients (4.3%) were diagnosed as Ph(+) ALL out of the 741 cases of ALL consecutively enrolled in two protocols of the Tokyo Children's Cancer Study Group (TCCSG) from 1989 to 1994. Thirty patients (93.8%) were induced into complete remission (CR). Of these 30 patients, eight children electively received allo-BMT in the first CR. Six of these patients are in continuous remission at a median follow-up of 58 (range 48-105) months after the diagnosis. One patient died following recurrence and another patient died of graft vs. host disease. Three patients treated with autologous BMT or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in the first CR experienced a subsequent relapse. In the remaining 19 patients, 13 patients were treated with very high-risk chemotherapy alone and all relapsed within 28 months. One patient was excluded from the analysis because he was treated with standard-risk chemotherapy until relapse. The other five patients were also excluded from the analysis because Philadelphia chromosome was not detected until they relapsed. None of the relapsed patients survived in spite of treatment including allo-BMT. In multivariate analysis, only allo-BMT remained as an independent factor for good prognosis.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The only way to cure children with Ph(+) ALL was allo-BMT in this study and its outcome seemed promising.","PeriodicalId":18531,"journal":{"name":"Medical and pediatric oncology","volume":"56 1","pages":"426-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89063951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many hepatoblastomas can be treated adequately with well-defined treatment regimens, problems still persist with advanced and non-resectable tumors; in these cases, an effective chemotherapy is necessary to improve the patients' prognosis. This underlines the need for alternative anti-tumor agents in the treatment of human hepatoblastoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of topotecan, a water-soluble camptothecin analog (topoisomerase-I-antagonist), in an in vivo model of three human hepatoblastomas xenografted subcutaneously into nude mice.\u0000\u0000\u0000PROCEDURE\u0000Hepatoblastoma cell suspensions from three children were transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice NMRI (nu/nu). Treatment with topotecan was initiated when the tumors reached a volume between 50 and 80 mm(3). A dose of 6.6 mg/kg of topotecan were given intraperitoneally every 4 days on four occasions. The tumor volume development and alpha-fetoprotein alterations were measured and statistically analyzed. After the treatment, the tumors were investigated histologically and by immunohistochemistry.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000There was a significant reduction of tumor growth in all treated tumor xenografts vs. untreated control groups (mean relative volume 3.1 vs. 47.4; P = 0,0015-0,0079). Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were reduced in all three cell lines, in two of them significantly (mean 44,535 kU/l vs. 228,883 kU/l; P = 0.005-0.246). Histologically, the tumor necrosis rates were higher and immunohistochemistry showed lower proliferation activities in the treated tumor xenografts vs. the control groups.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000The data show that topotecan is an effective agent in the treatment of human hepatoblastoma xenografts. From these results, treatment with topotecan appears to be a promising alternative in the pre- and postoperative therapy of patients suffering from human hepatoblastoma","PeriodicalId":18531,"journal":{"name":"Medical and pediatric oncology","volume":"52 1","pages":"449-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84491817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
