TEMODAL (temozolomide)
Capsule is an oral, cytotoxic alkylating agent indicated for treating
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). At one TRC member institution, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researchers are focusing
their attention on the effects of simple and complex alkylating agents,
a class of DNA-damaging environmental toxins and toxicants that cause
cell death, mutations, birth defects, and cancer. (15,19) When treatment is necessary, a
minimalist approach should be selected--one that includes a topical
steroid, topical mustine (nitrogen mustard, an alkylating agent), and
possibly steroid injections. |
