Dose-dense (DD) chemotherapy is a treatment option for patients with high-risk premenopausal breast cancer. Pegfilgrastim may be administered as prophylaxis against the development of febrile neutropenia and enables the continuation of the DD schedule; however, it is associated with adverse effects,
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease and endemically seen in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and continental America. Febrile neutropenia related to Brucellosis has been reported only in a few cases. Brucella was cultured from the bone marrow of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients aged ≥ 60 years tolerate standard induction chemotherapy poorly. Therapy with azacitidine at a dose of 75 mg/m(2)/day for 7 days appears to be better tolerated, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of elderly AML patients
OBJECTIVE
This phase II clinical study evaluated the efficacy of pemetrexed for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).
METHODS
Patients with a histologically proven diagnosis of MPM, chemotherapy-naive measurable lesions, and adequate organ function received pemetrexed (500 mg/m2)
This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum (IP) and etoposide/platinum (EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of
BACKGROUND
We investigated selumetinib (AZD6244, ARRY-142886), an oral, potent, and highly selective, allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor, plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy for patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
METHODS
In this Phase I, open-label study (NCT01809210),
OBJECTIVE
This phase I study assessed the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor effects of sunitinib combined with modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6).
METHODS
Patients with advanced solid malignancies received mFOLFOX6 in 2-week cycles with
OBJECTIVE
To assess the rate of R(0) resection of liver metastases achieved after chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX.
METHODS
Patients with histologically proven primary colorectal cancer and bidimensionally measurable liver metastasis, not fully resectable based on technical inability to achieve R(0)
OBJECTIVE
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), toxicities, and suitable dose for weekly 1-h paclitaxel combined with weekly cisplatin and irinotecan to treat advanced gastrointestinal malignancies.
METHODS
Thirty patients with metastatic or locally advanced (unresectable or recurrent)
BACKGROUND
Roughly 70-80% of patients with advanced stage Hodgkin's lymphoma are cured with various first-line and second-line treatments, including ABVD, BEACOPP, and stem-cell transplantation. Brentuximab vedotin has shown significant clinical activity, with a manageable safety profile, in
UNASSIGNED
Cixutumumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody to the insulin-like growth factor type I receptor that can potentially reverse resistance and enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy.
UNASSIGNED
Bevacizumab-eligible patients with stage IV or recurrent non-squamous, non-small-cell lung
BACKGROUND
Advanced esophageal cancer is aggressive with an expected median survival of 6-7 months. Combination chemotherapy regimens provide effective palliation, but result in substantial toxicity.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients with advanced esophageal
BACKGROUND
Patients treated with standard chemotherapy for metastatic or relapsed cervical cancer respond poorly to conventional chemotherapy (response achieved in 20-30% of patients) with an overall survival of less than 1 year. High tumour angiogenesis and high concentrations of intratumoural VEGF
Background: This study was initially designed to examine whether oxaliplatin-based regimen was superior to cisplatin-based regimen in tumour remission as first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Literature in EMBASE, PUBMED, Cochrane Central Register of
UNASSIGNED
This multicenter, phase II trial tested the tolerability and efficacy of lenalidomide plus rituximab in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL).
UNASSIGNED
Patients with grade 1-3a FL, stage 3-4 or bulky stage 2, FL international prognostic index (FLIPI) 0-2, and no
