    High-dose methotrexate with folinic acid rescue showed acceptable toxicity in 86 adults with malignant disease. While protocol violations caused two deaths, therapy results are promising for certain cancer types.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Malignant diseases require effective treatment strategies.
    • High-dose methotrexate is a potent chemotherapeutic agent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-dose methotrexate with folinic acid rescue in adults with malignant disease.
    • To identify potential toxicities and encouraging therapeutic outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Eighty-six adult patients with malignant disease received high-dose methotrexate.
    • Folinic acid rescue was administered to mitigate methotrexate toxicity.
    • Toxicity and treatment outcomes were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • The treatment regimen demonstrated acceptable toxicity in the majority of patients.

  • Protocol violations in two cases resulted in fatal outcomes.
  • Encouraging therapeutic responses were observed in specific diagnostic groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • High-dose methotrexate with folinic acid rescue is a viable treatment option for malignant diseases, with manageable toxicity.
    • Strict adherence to protocols is crucial to prevent adverse events.
    • Further research is warranted to optimize its use in different cancer types.
