摘要: From May 1990 to November 1994, 70 consecutive patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme were treated following surgery with conventional radiotherapy and adjuvant IV BCNU administered alone or in combination tamoxifen. Twenty-five received (control group A) while 24 also 40 mg of tamoxifen (TMX) PO daily (group B) 21 100 TMX C). There no significant differences between the 3 groups concerning age, type resection median post-operative Karnofsky performance status (KPS). Blood toxicity over grade II occurred 33.5% receiving versus 12% (p < 0.05). Deep venous thrombosis complications observed 4 each group, whereas they not control 0.04). Median time tumor progression (MTTP) was 35 weeks 27 both B C. survival (MST) 56, 66 51 weeks, respectively. These results suggest that addition standard treatment glioblastomas does affect overall but may increase risk deep nitrosourea-induced blood toxicity.
