Ultrastructural and histochemical examination of chondromatous pulmonary hamartomas revealed the epithelial component to be comprised of elements similar to those lining the distal bronchioles and the alveoli of adult lung. The stromal cells nearest the epithelium include a population resembling mat
## BACKGROUND. Bleomycin produces lung fibrosis in a wide variety of species. In humans, it can cause significant morbidity and mortality when used to treat malignancies such as lymphoma and testicular carcinoma. In rodents, it has been extensively used to study key mechanisms of lung injury and r
In a recently completed study, combination chemotherapy consisting of bleomycin, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, a n d vincristine was given to 29 patients with oat cell lung cancer. There were no cases of pulmonary fibrosis in these 29 patients. Although several of these patients had prior radiothera
Purpose:To assess long-term pulmonary effects of multiagent chemotherapy, we studied serial pulmonary function tests (PFTs) of 35 children with osteosarcoma up to 12 years after diagnosis. Patients and Methods: We analyzed 84 sets of PFTs from 35 patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma between 1981 an
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Gemcitabine is an effective treatment for recurrent Hodgkin disease (HD), with relatively minimal associated toxicity. The authors conducted a trial substituting this drug for dacarbazine in the standard regimen to form ABVG (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, gemcitabi
