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
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.

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

Fotemustine (FTMS) is a third-generation nitrosourea, in preclinical studies, FTMS compared favorably with carmustine (BCNU) and lomustine (CCNU) against several human tumor cell lines. In conventional schedule, FTMS is administered at a dose of 100 mg/sqm/week for three consecutive weeks
We explored the feasibility of concurrent palliative chemotherapy and low-dose fractionated radiotherapy (LD-FRT) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Patients with recurrent/progressive GBM at least 3 months after the end of primary radiotherapy received 0.3 Gy twice daily with cisplatin and fotemustine
Apoptosis regulation involves multiple pathways and molecules for cellular homeostasis.
