Anderson 05/01/2013 © Paul S. Anderson – All rights reserved – Reproduction and redistribution only allowed with proper attribution. Abstract: Intravenous application of ascorbic acid (IVAA) has a long history in adjunctive oncology communities. Its use has stimulated much debate regarding efficacy, safety and appropriate inclusion in oncologic practice. The potential for both antagonistic and synergistic interactions between IVAA and chemotherapies or radiation has existed for some time as an unanswered or confusing question in the naturopathic and allopathic oncology community. The purpose of this publication is to summarize and update the state of understanding of this complicated topic for clinicians employing either standard or integrative oncology care. INTRAVENOUS ASCORBATE AND ONCOLOGIC AGENTS Introduction: Intravenous ascorbate has been used in oncology practice by naturopathic and alternative allopathic physicians for decades. Published data regarding this therapy shows that it continues to be one of the most commonly employed alternative IV therapies. This popularity has both stimulated awareness of this therapy and concern regarding not only the safety and efficacy of IVAA in the oncology patient but also for the potential of antagonistic

À2 À2 Clinical Studies cisplatin, 1000 mg m i.v. gemcitabine, and 2500 mg m i.v. treosulfan on days 1 and 8. Cisplatin, gemcitabine, and treosulfan therapy was repeated every 5 weeks until progression of disease occurred. A maximum of 11 CGT cycles (mean, two cycles) was administered per patient. Four patients (4%) showed a partial response; 15 (17%) patients had stable disease; and 72 (79%) patients progressed upon first re-evaluation. Overall survival of all 91 patients was 6 months (2-year survival rate, 7%). Patients with partial remission or stable disease exhibited a median overall survival of 11 months (2-year survival rate, 36%), while patients with disease progression upon first re-evaluation had a median overall survival of 5 months (2-year survival rate, 0%). Treatment with CGT was efficient in one-fifth of the pretreated relapsed stage IV melanoma patients achieving disease stabilisation or partial remission with prolonged but limited survival.

  • Low-Dose Trofosfamide Plus Rituximab Is an Effective And
    Schelker et al. BMC Cancer (2018) 18:1000 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-018-4885-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Low-dose trofosfamide plus rituximab is an effective and safe treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the elderly: a single center experience Roland Christian Schelker* , Wolfgang Herr, Albrecht Reichle and Martin Vogelhuber Abstract Background: Rituximab plus combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is broadly accepted as standard for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Nevertheless, there is sparsely data concerning the management of elderly patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of treatment with rituximab and low-dose trofosfamide in elderly patients (≥ 75 years) with DLBCL who were not suitable for R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like regimens or who did not consent to aggressive treatment. The choice regarding the qualification for R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like regimen was left to the estimation of the treating physicians. Results: Eleven patients with a median age of 83 years (range, 75–90 years) were included. The age-adjusted international prognostic index was low risk in one patient, low-intermediate in four patients, high-intermediate in three patients, and high risk in 3 patients. All patients were evaluable for response. Five patients (45%) achieved a complete response, three (27%) a partial response, one (9%) stable disease, and two (18%) progressive disease. The estimated 1-yr overall survival was 54.5%, and the estimated 1-yr progression-free survival 45.5%, however, three patients (27%) were alive without evidence of disease at 16–20 months from start of treatment.
