Methanolic extract of Emilia sonchifolia (Compositae), a folklore medicinal plant, was found to be cytotoxic to Daltons lymphoma (DL), Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) and mouse lung fibroblast (L-929) cells, but not toxic to normal human lymphocytes, under in vitro conditions. Oral administration of
BACKGROUND

In the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, cancer patients could be a high-risk group due to their immunosuppressed status; therefore, data on cancer patients must be available in order to consider the most adequate strategy of care. We carried out a cohort study on the risk of hospitalization
BACKGROUND
In order to ensure high-quality treatment for patients with cancer it is vital to implement organisational models (pathways and networks) and that guarantee continuity of care. Appropriate assessment tools that promote the evaluation and analysis of care pathways from the patients'
Formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature is an indispensable process in tumor initiation, invasion, and metastasis. Novel therapeutic approaches target endothelial cells involved in the process of angiogenesis, due to their genetic stability relative to the rapidly mutating
OBJECTIVE
In the area of anticancer drugs, the legitimate search for effective interventions can be jeopardized by the strong pressure for accelerated approval, which may hinder the full assessment of their benefit-risk profile. We aimed to produce drug-specific recommendations using an explicit
OBJECTIVE
Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer death worldwide. The aims of this study were to analyze presentation, treatment and survival for lung cancer in northern Italy, and identify factors influencing survival.
METHODS
A total of 1180 lung cancer cases diagnosed in four north Italian cancer
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) which associates the selective intracellular targeting of the cytotoxic agent, DM1 (maytansine derivative) to the antitumor activity of trastuzumab. T-DM1 targets the epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), highly expressed in the
Trastuzumab emtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate comprised of the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2) antibody trastuzumab, and a derivative of the cytostatic agent maytansinoid DM1, covalently linked by a thiol linker. The drug was developed in an attempt to overcome trastuzumab
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effect of metformin on cancer incidence in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), considering possible interactions with other glucose-lowering drugs and diabetes duration.
METHODS
Study cohort included diabetes patients aged 20-84 on December 2009, still alive and resident in Reggio Emilia
Celiac disease (CD) has been acknowledge as being responsible for numerous secondary pathologies, in particular autoimmune and neoplastic diseases. Whether CD is more prevalent in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) than in the normal population is not known. Accordingly, we carried out a
Introduction: Beta-blockers (BB) are commonly used to manage cardiovascular disease and may have benefits in controlling complications of anti-HER2 therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the association of pre-existing BB use with survival outcomes in patients initiating anti-HER2 therapy
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is a human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, composed of trastuzumab, a stable thioether linker, and the potent cytotoxic agent DM1 (derivative of maytansine), in phase III development for HER2-positive cancer. Extensive analysis
BACKGROUND
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), a novel drug developed for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer, is a human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) targeted antibody drug conjugate, composed of trastuzumab, a stable thioether linker, and the potent cytotoxic agent DM1 (derivative
BACKGROUND
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate incorporating the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antitumor properties of trastuzumab with the cytotoxic activity of the microtubule-inhibitory agent DM1. The antibody and the cytotoxic agent are
