The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two treatment protocols after operative resection as compared with the control treatment, radiotherapy+5-FU. The three protocols were (A): adequate operation (OP)+radiation (R) (40-60 Grey/6-7 weeks)+ACNU [1-3 mg/kg, intravenously (IV) or intraarterially (IA), two times with a week interval, and repeated after 6 months]±OK-432 (2.0 “Klinische Einheit” or clinical unit/week, intramuscularly), (B): OP+R+ACNU (1-3 mg/kg, IV or IA, two times with 6-8 weeks interval, and repeated after 6 months)+5-FU (8-16 mg/kg/day orally)±OK-432, (C): OP+R+5-FU. The combination therapy with ACNU and radiation significantly improved survival time as compared with protocol (C) (p<0.01). Malignant gliomas treated with protocol (A) had 40.5 months mean survival time (MST) and (B) had 25.7 months MST. On the other hand (C) group had a MST of 11.3 months (A:B, not significant, A:C p=0.00, B:C p=0.0002). Several important prognostic factors were identified. Histological type, initial performance status and operative resections were significant factors but ACNU total dosage, administration route and OK-432 had no influence on the survival after surgery. Nausea and vomiting were noticed immediately after ACNU administration, and later myelosuppression occurred in 25-29% of the patients. No relationship was observed between toxicity, and the single dosage of ACNU or administration routes.}, pages = {140--146}, title = {神経膠腫に対するACNUおよび5-FUの効果}, volume = {26}, year = {1986} }
