This paper describes a random study being conducted to compare the value of 5-fluorouracil plus diethylstilbestrol vs diethylstilbestrol alone and the value of 5-fluorouracil vs CCNU in the treatment of stage D adenocarcinoma of the prostate. We have established that similar normal values of acid phosphatase are encountered in serum and bone marrow...

Urinary excretion of polyamines by patients with advanced malignancy.
Published in Cancer chemotherapy reports. Part 1
Levels of putrescrine, spermidine, and spermine in urine were determined by means of a sensitive ion-exchange chromatographic method in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies, in patients with diseases other than cancer, and in normal control subjects. Elevation above 2 SDS of the normal mean were found in varying number of patients in eac...

During the past 3 years, eight hospitals and one cooperative study group have reported their initial clinical results with cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II). The most popular clinical schedule was 15-25 mg/m2/day for 5 days repeated every 3-4 weeks. Almost all patients had extremely advanced disease. Of 323 patients in whom response could be evalua...
Fate of streptozotocin (NSC-85998)in patients with advanced cancer.
Published in Cancer chemotherapy reports. Part 1
We have investigated the distribution, biotranformation, and excretion of streptozotocin and its 14C- and 3H-labeled metabolities in 15 patients with advanced cancer. Streptozotocin was detected in the plasma during the first 3 hours after administration while radioactive products were present for longer than 24 hours. No unchanged streptozotocin w...
Preclinical studies with triazinate (NSC-139105), an antifolate drug, in beagle dogs and rhesus monkeys.
Published in Cancer chemotherapy reports. Part 1
The effects of the intravenous administration of triazinate by single and multiple injections were studied in beagle dogs and rhesus monkeys. In dogs, dose levels ranging from 0.3125 to 40 mg/kg were given either as single doses daily for 5 days, or once weekly for 6 weeks. The 5-day regimen was also studied in monkeys with dose levels from 2.5 to ...
Inhibition of deamination of 14C-cytosine arabinoside (NSC-63878): a useful biologic assay for tetrahydrouridine (NSC-11...
Published in Cancer chemotherapy reports. Part 1
Inhibition of the deamination of 14C-cytosine arabinoside by two lots of tetrahydrouridine was studied in monkey serum. The average inhibition of deaminase activity was 78% for tetrahydrouridine lot AJ39 (1.0 muM) when the concentration of cytosine arabinoside ranged from 44.2 to 170.7 muM; under the same conditions tetrahydrouridine lot AJ22 inhib...
