  • R-Eshap Patient Information Leaflet Keep All Medicine
    R-ESHAP PATIENT HE-I- INFORMATION 049 LEAFLET KEEP ALL MEDICINE OUT OF THE SIGHT AND REACH OF CHILDREN R-ESHAP What is R-ESHAP? R-ESHAP is the name of a combination of cancer drugs used to treat non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). R-ESHAP is ESHAP chemotherapy with the drug rituximab. Rituximab is a type of biological therapy called a monoclonal antibody. R-ESHAP is made up of the drugs • R = Rituximab (Mabthera) • E = Etoposide - a chemotherapy drug • SH = Methylprednisolone, which is a steroid • A = Cytarabine (also known as Ara C) – a chemotherapy drug • P = Cisplatin – a chemotherapy drug How you have R-ESHAP • All the R-ESHAP drugs are clear colourless fluids. You have them into your bloodstream (intravenously). You can have them through a central line, a portacath. These are long, plastic tubes that give the drugs directly into a large vein in your chest. You have the tube put in just before your course of treatment starts and it stays in place as long as you need it. • You usually have R-ESHAP as cycles of treatment. Each cycle lasts 4 weeks. You usually have between 2 and 8 cycles. • Each cycle of treatment is given in the following way. o On the first day you have ▪ Rituximab as a slow drip (infusion) before all the other drugs – see details below ▪ Etoposide as a drip for 1 hour ▪ Methylprednisolone (steroid) as a drip for 15 to 30 minutes ▪ Cytarabine as a drip for 2 hours – this may be on the fifth day instead ▪ Cisplatin as a drip that lasts for 96 hours (4 days) o On the second, third and fourth days you ▪ Continue with your cisplatin ▪ Repeat the etoposide and methylprednisolone drips ▪ On the fifth day the cisplatin finishes and you have ▪ Another dose of methylprednisolone ▪ Another dose of cytarabine • You have no treatment for just over 3 weeks.

    HHS Public Access Author manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author J Cancer Manuscript Author Sci Ther. Author Manuscript Author manuscript; available in PMC 2020 March 06. Published in final edited form as: J Cancer Sci Ther. 2019 ; 11(4): . Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy of Human Cancers Andrea Brown, Sanjay Kumar, Paul B Tchounwou* Cellomics and Toxicogenomics Research Laboratory, NIH/NIMHD-RCMI Center for Environmental Health, College of Science, Engineering and Technology, Jackson State University, 1400 Lynch Street, Box18750, Jackson, Mississippi, MS 39217, USA Abstract Cisplatin (cis-diammine-dichloro-platinum II) was initially discovered to prevent the growth of Escherichia coli and was further recognized for its anti-neoplastic and cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. Administered intravenously to humans, cisplatin is used as first-line chemotherapy treatment for patients diagnosed with various types of malignancies, such as leukemia, lymphomas, breast, testicular, ovarian, head and neck, and cervical cancers, and sarcomas. Once cisplatin enters the cell it exerts its cytotoxic effect by losing one chloride ligand, binding to DNA to form intra-strand DNA adducts, and inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell growth. The DNA lesions formed from cisplatin-induced DNA damage activate DNA repair response via NER (nuclear excision repair system) by halting cisplatin-induced cell death by activation of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) pathway. Although treatment has been shown to be effective, many patients experience relapse due to drug resistance. As a result, other platinum compounds such as oxaliplatin and carboplatin have since been used and have shown some levels of effectiveness. In this review, the clinical applications of cisplatin are discussed with a special emphasis on its use in cancer chemotherapy.
