Product Introduction
Dacarbazine 500mg is an alkylating chemotherapy used for advanced melanoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and selected soft-tissue sarcomas. In lymphoma and sarcoma it is commonly one component of a combination regimen.
How to use
The reconstituted medicine is administered into a vein by the chemotherapy team. The infusion is protected from light, and anti-sickness treatment is usually given before the scheduled dose.
How it works
Dacarbazine is activated in the liver to compounds that add methyl groups to DNA. This disrupts replication and damages dividing tumour cells.
Side effects
Nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite and low blood-cell counts can occur. Serious liver injury and tissue irritation at the infusion site are less common but important.
Important information
Blood counts and liver function are monitored during treatment. Pregnancy and live vaccines must be avoided during significant chemotherapy-related immunosuppression.
Uses
- Advanced melanoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and selected advanced soft-tissue sarcomas.
Benefits
Can reduce cancer-cell growth and contribute to disease control within tumour-specific chemotherapy regimens.
Why is the infusion covered or shielded from light?
Dacarbazine breaks down in light. Protecting the prepared solution helps maintain its stability during administration.
Can I feel unwell several days after a dose?
Flu-like symptoms can occur after treatment, but fever still needs prompt assessment because infection may look similar.
Why might my next course be postponed?
Recovery of white cells and platelets is needed before another course. A temporary delay can reduce infection and bleeding risks.
Is every type of soft-tissue sarcoma treated with dacarbazine?
No. Suitability depends on the sarcoma subtype, previous treatment and the other medicines in the proposed regimen.
