Elevated doses of carmustine and mitomycin C, with lonidamine enhancement and autologous bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer: results from a pilot study

Abstract

10 patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with elevated doses of carmustine and mitomycin C. The regimen was potentiated by lonidamine and supported by autologous bone marrow transplantation. The results of this pilot study were encouraging, with a response rate of 50% and a significantly better survival for responders versus non-responders. No appreciable toxicity of the therapy was observed. This aspect, together with the simplicity of the procedure, calls for further investigations to confirm the good therapeutic index of the treatment.
