Experiences with

Irinotecan

He then received a new treatment of Irinotecan 125 mg/m2 Floxuridine INU 209mg/Flat for 14 days delivered through an intra-arterial infusion pump. In late 2022, Fluororacil IVCI 1000mg/m2 for 2 days was added. The treatment worked extremely well for a period of time.

He will try Irinotecan. I read about it and seems it is used in instances of peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer. Any feedback on this will be helpful..thanks a ton.

I've had 6 sessions of Flourouracil (5FU) and Irinotecan but the main cancer has slightly enlarged (Secondary in the lungs is the same).... I need some hope and wonder where I go from here. There are other treatments such as Virotherapy and Rigvir but only abroad, I think.

They are now wanting him to do heavy hitting chemo for 6 months, Irinotecan, Fluorouracil and Calcium Leucovorin. I am in the Advanced Prostate Group and wondering what is the best place to get some information on this particular situation. Is it this group?

They said they want to hit it hard with Irinotecan, Flurouracil and Calcium Leucovorin. I see this used for bladder cancer. Can anyone give me some direction what to research and make any sense of this. His wife died, a very good friend 3 years ago.

Trodelvy, which is administered intravenously, consists of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan linked with an antibody targeted against TROP-2, a cell-surface protein that is expressed in more than 90% of TNBC.

Etoposide and Irinotecan are used for cancer treatment and IPF is known to have similar mechanisms with various types of cancer.

Is it side effects of avastin or irinotecan. What should I do? I have informed my oncologist, going to see him today. But I am worried. It happened during avastin, now dropped avastin but what may be the reason? God knows.

Found out later he didnt and after 10 months from diagnosis tumors were growing in liver so he tried keytruda for four rounds and it seemed to calcify the prostate but he now had bone Mets to Femur pelvis and vertebra and also liver tumors were growing so stopped keytruda and went on irinotecan and carbo

A recent study showed that gut bacterial enzymes called ß-glucuronidases can contribute to the severe diarrhea sometimes associated with a commonly used colon-cancer chemotherapy drug called irinotecan.[13. B.D.

Took 6 months off treatment and recommenced in January 2016 with 3 months Avastin & Irinotecan infusion (nasty!) then onto maintenance chemo since May 2016 of Avastin & Capecitabine, had to play with the dosage but now coping fairly well with the side-effects.

the treatment I will be on is irinotecan with fluorouracil and folinic acid , obviously I know it won't be a walk in the park, but if anybody has been on this kind of treatment please could you let me know, I hear the side effects are feeling like crap, lost of hair so I'm gonna look like an egg head

They include gemcitabine, vinorelbine, oral altretamine, oral etoposide, irinotecan, bevacizumab and, recently, pemetrexed.

Now the cancer has spread to my liver and lungs and the treatments I'm being offered is, first, a trial with Xeloda with Trastuzumab and if that doesn't help, Irinotecan. The onc assures me that neither of these treatments will affect my PN.
