Treatment of Poor-Risk Neuroblastoma with Intensive Chemotherapy and Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor
mag(1992)
摘要
Advanced neuroblastoma is one of the most lethal pediatric malignancies. Several antitumor compounds are able to induce tumor regression, and a dose-response relationship has been demonstrated for some of them. A significant improvement in both response rate and duration of survival has thus been obtained by treatment intensification [1–4]. In the Italian experience, the median survival time of children treated with aggressive chemotherapy has been doubled compared with historical controls [5]. However, the higher initial response rate and the prolonged remission time has resulted in only a marginal improvement in cure rate, presently not exceeding 25% [6, 7]. Hematopoietic growth factors (colony-stimulating factors, CSFs), by mitigating the myelotoxic effect of chemotherapy, may reduce the treatment-related morbidity and thus permit the delivery of higher dosages and the shortening of intervals between chemotherapy courses [8, 9].
