BACKGROUND
In the past decade, targeted therapy with antiangiogenic drugs has become standard of care for most types of metastatic, progressive thyroid cancer. While these drugs were thought initially to be less toxic than traditional chemotherapy, they can have rare but serious and fatal
Metastatic renal cell cancer is treated with systemic therapy, and cytoreductive nephrectomy can be offered in selected patients. The systemic therapy treatment options for kidney cancer have now expanded to include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy, and combinations
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies of the adults. Its incidence has been increasing steadily by 2-4% each year. Up to 30% of patients present with metastases at diagnosis. It is a highly vascularized cancer because of the hypoxia-induced factor stabilization as a
Anlotinib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor and has been approved for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The most common adverse events of this treatment include hypertension, fatigue, thyroid-stimulating hormone elevation, hypertriglyceridemia, hand-foot
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bronchial fistula associated with sunitinib in a patient previously treated with radiation therapy.
METHODS
A 40-year-old man with renal cell cancer diagnosed in 2005 and initially treated by radical nephrectomy presented in March 2007 with a recurrence with cerebral,
Background: Anlotinib is a newly developed small molecule multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of patients with lung cancer in China. We aim to report 3 cases of rare complication of
In Crohn's disease (CD), the whole gastrointestinal tract can be affected by discontinuous and transmural inflammation. The terminal ileum and colon are especially prone to inflammation that comprises granulomata and later intestinal and perianal fistulas. Genome-wide linkage and epidemiological
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) aid in prolonging life in patients with advanced locoregional thyroid malignancy. Such patients may undergo total laryngectomy for local disease control and tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) for speech rehabilitation. Enlargement of TEP fistulas is usually attributed
Pazopanib is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR TKI) that inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor A pathway and has the potential to cause ischaemic bowel changes, including perforation. Here we report a case of a 51-year-old man with
BACKGROUND
Gastrointestinal stromal (GIS) tumors are rare malignancies that affect the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, liver, small intestine, colon, or rectum. These tumors are often refractory to treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy and usually treated with a combination of surgery and
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 1% to 2% of thyroid cancers in the United States. When identified early, total thyroidectomy is most often curative. However, in advanced disease, more aggressive treatment such as laryngectomy and esophagectomy may be indicated. We present a patient with an angiosarcoma in an arteriovenous fistula and we reviewed current treatments for angiosarcomas. We extended the systematic review by Oskrochi et al. on this topic in 2015, using the same search query. We searched systematically OVID, EMBASE and PubMed from April 2015
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used in patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Meanwhile, thermal ablation such as microwave ablation has been an option for selected patients. Herein, we describe three cases of pneumothorax that occurred in
Anlotinib, a novel orally administered multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and growth, significantly prolonged overall survival, and progression-free survival with a manageable safety profile as a third-line therapy among refractory advanced nonsmall
