The effect of Picibanil, a streptococcal agent, on the development of liver injury after operations for urogenital cancer was studied retrospectively in the light of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. The series comprised 32 cases receiving Picibanil and 33 controls with otherwise
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study is to assess the interactions among alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratios on esophageal cancer.
METHODS
Alcohol and the risk of incidence and death from esophageal cancer were examined in
Pazopanib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of renal cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. Its use is commonly associated with a number of side effects, such as hemorrhagic diathesis, neutropenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is a mediator of inflammation and cellular immune response. Soluble TNF receptors (sTNFR) sTNF-R55 and sTNF-R75, which compete with cellular receptors for the binding of TNF, have been detected at high levels in infectious diseases including human
It is hypothesised that cotargeting the androgen receptor (AR) and paracrine androgen biosynthesis with enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) will dissipate adaptive feedback loops observed with either agent On December 11, 2015, the FDA granted accelerated approval to alectinib (Alecensa; Genentech) for the treatment of patients with anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK)-positive, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed on or are intolerant to crizotinib. This
OBJECTIVE
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability, dosage and administration, and place in therapy of alectinib for treatment of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are reviewed.
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with NSCLC driven by mutations of ALK, the
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety of sunitinib plus capecitabine/cisplatin (XP) or capecitabine/oxaliplatin (XELOX) in Korean patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC).
METHODS
Sunitinib (37.5 or 25 mg/day) was administered on a 2-week-on/1-week-off schedule with
Objective: To explore the features of imatinib mesylate (IM) plasma concentration during adjuvant therapy and clinical factors associated with IM plasma concentration in patients with high risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and to determine whether IM plasma concentration <1100
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of flutamide-related liver toxicity was studied in 1,091 consecutive patients treated for stage C or D prostate cancer with the antiandrogen flutamide and the luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (LHRH) agonist [D-Trp6, des-Gly-NH2(10)] LHRH ethylamide.
METHODS
Liver function
Rosiglitazone is an FDA-approved peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist and antidiabetic agent in humans that has been investigated for its ability to reduce tumor cell growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the maximally tolerated dose, peak plasma
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-induced cellular apoptosis represents a common pathological mechanism underlying the progression of various liver disorders. Recently studies revealed that the anti-diabetic metformin provided protective benefits in several animal models of liver injury. In the
The Appleby operation allows resection of gastric cancer with lymph nodes around the stomach and celiac axis en bloc. Hepatic arterial blood flow after resection of the celiac axis is supplied by the superior mesenteric artery. In some patients, however, hepatic arterial flow becomes decreased after
Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) have been known to induce liver enzyme elevation, sometimes associated with viral reactivation or toxic hepatitis. We evaluated the incidence and risk factors of TNFi-associated liver enzyme elevation in Korean ankylosing spondylitis (AS) BACKGROUND
Hepatic steatosis is an established risk factor for complications following major hepatic resection. Pharmacological options to reverse steatosis prior to surgery, however, are lacking. We hypothesized that treatment with the pharmacologic tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme
