  • Title: Metastatic retinoblastoma and L-phenylalanine mustard-dianhydrogalactitol.
    Author: Helson L, Kitchin FD, Abramson D, Ellsworth RM.
    Journal: Anticancer Res; 1982; 2(4):235-8. PubMed ID: 7149653.
    Abstract:
    Retinoblastomas heterotransplanted to nude mice were shown to be sensitive to a combination of phenylalanine mustard and dianhydrogalactitol. A patient with metastatic retinoblastoma was treated with this combination and had a significant response with complete clinical clearance of her bone marrow and metastatic tumors. However, the patient's response was similar to that observed in nude mice; recurrences of tumors developed after complete clinical remission.
