Complete response induced by fotemustine given as single agent in a patient with primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin aggressive lymphoma relapsed after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell support.
Locoregional treatments represent a good option for patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not eligible for resection or transplantation. Locoregional approaches include a wide spectrum of therapeutic methods and hepatic intra-arterial drug infusion is also considered. Fotemustine is a chemotherapy

The liver is the primary site of metastases in most uveal melanoma patients. We retrospectively investigated intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) as treatment for patients with hepatic melanoma metastases.Twenty-three patients (18 with uveal melanoma) received fotemustine (14 patients, 61.9%) or carboplatin (9
Response of human HTB140 melanoma cells to proton irradiation in combination with fotemustine (FM) was investigated. Effects of these agents were analysed on cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Cells pretreated with 100- or 250-µM of FM were irradiated in
