CCY Procedure: Cholecystectomy (Surgical Gallbladder Removal)
CCY is the standard medical abbreviation for cholecystectomy, which is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, not a chemotherapy regimen combining cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and etoposide.
Clarification on Terminology
The abbreviation "CCY" in medical practice universally refers to cholecystectomy. The expanded question mentions a combination of cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and etoposide, but this is not standardly abbreviated as "CCY" in oncology literature.
Common Chemotherapy Abbreviations Involving These Drugs
If you are looking for chemotherapy regimens containing cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and etoposide, several established protocols exist:
Established Regimens with These Agents
CYVE (Cytarabine and Etoposide) is used as consolidation therapy in lymphoblastic lymphoma, containing cytarabine and etoposide with high-dose cytarabine 1
VIA (VP-16/Etoposide, Ifosfamide, and Ara-C/Cytarabine) is a salvage regimen for recurrent primary CNS lymphoma, using etoposide 100 mg/m² days 1-3, ifosfamide 1000 mg/m² days 1-5, and cytarabine 2000 mg/m² 2
LACE (Lomustine, cytarabine, cyclophosphamide, etoposide) is used as conditioning for autologous HSCT in relapsed/refractory lymphoma, with lomustine 200 mg/m² day-7, etoposide 1000 mg/m² day-7, cytarabine 2000 mg/m² days 6-5, and cyclophosphamide 1800 mg/m² days 4-2 3
BEA (Busulfan, Etoposide, and high-dose cytarabine) is used for conditioning in autologous stem cell transplantation for AML in first complete remission 4
Lymphodepletion Regimens
- Cyclophosphamide plus etoposide combinations are used for lymphodepletion before CAR T-cell therapy, with various dosing schedules including cyclophosphamide 440 mg/m² daily for 2 days and etoposide 100 mg/m² daily for 2 days, or cyclophosphamide 2-4 g/m² single dose and etoposide 100 mg/m² daily for 3 days 1
Important Clinical Context
No standard oncology protocol uses "CCY" as an abbreviation for a cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and etoposide combination. If you encountered this abbreviation in a clinical context referring to chemotherapy, clarification from the prescribing team is essential to ensure correct drug administration and dosing.
