Journal ArticleDOI
Phase I trial of temozolomide (CCRG 81045: M&B 39831: NSC 362856).
Edward S. Newlands,George Blackledge,J. A. Slack,Gordon J. S. Rustin,D. B. Smith,N. S. A. Stuart,C. P. Quarterman,R. Hoffman,Malcolm F. G. Stevens,M. H. Brampton +9 more
TL;DR: In the extended Phase I trial temozolomide only occasionally exhibited the unpredictable myelosuppression seen with mitozolmide, which is easy to use clinically and generally well tolerated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of ondansetron and ondansetron plus dexamethasone as antiemetic prophylaxis during cisplatin-containing chemotherapy
D. B. Smith,Edward S. Newlands,G.J.S. Rustin,G.J.S. Rustin,R. H. J. Begent,N. Howells,B. Mcquade,Kd Bagshawe +7 more
TL;DR: Ondansetron plus dexamethasone is effective antiemetic prophylaxis for high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy, has few side effects, and is active when given orally.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of audiotapes in promoting psychological well-being in cancer patients: a randomised, controlled trial.
P McHugh,Sara Lewis,Sarah Ford,Edward S. Newlands,G.J.S. Rustin,C Coombes,D. B. Smith,S O'Reilly,Lesley Fallowfield +8 more
TL;DR: Patient access to audiotapes of clinical interviews promotes factual retention but does not reliably reduce psychological distress and may be actively unhelpful in some subgroups of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ondansetron (GR38032F) plus dexamethasone: effective anti-emetic prophylaxis for patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy
D. B. Smith,E. S. Newlands,O. W. Spruyt,R. H. J. Begent,G. J. S. Rustin,B. Mellor,Kd Bagshawe +6 more
TL;DR: Ondansetron (GR38032F) plus dexamethasone: effective anti-emetic prophylaxis for patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term outcome in patients with germ cell tumours treated with POMB/ACE chemotherapy: comparison of commonly used classification systems of good and poor prognosis.
TL;DR: Comparison of survival between ultra-high dose cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy and patients treated with POMB/ACE shows no advantage from this more toxic approach, which suggests that good results in adverse prognosis patients can be achieved using conventional dose regimens administered intensively.
