A multistep HDC regimen was designed as first-line chemotherapy for MBC. Twenty-four patients with MBC and no previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease were treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide (5000 mg/m2), and etoposide (1000 mg/m2) (CyVP16), followed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
Taxol, an inhibitor of microtubule disassembly, is currently under investigation in the therapy of several human cancers. The current investigation was undertaken to characterize potential taxol developmental toxicity in chicks. On one of days 1-4 of incubation, taxol was administered in
This case report describes a 33-year-old female currently undergoing breast cancer treatment following the AC-T-T (doxorubicin hydrochloride (Adriamycin) and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel (Taxol) and trastuzumab (Herceptin)) treatment regimen. Her chief complaint at the time of the
The present study evaluated a child with thrombocytopenia and a rare congenital bleeding disorder associated with platelet spherocytosis. Differential interference phase contrast microscopy (DIC) revealed that his platelets were spherical in form. Examination of thin sections in the electron
BACKGROUND
One of the most important biological characteristics of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is high vascular density. Vadimezan (ASA404, DMXAA) belongs to the class of small molecule vascular disrupting agents (VDA) that cause disruption of established tumor vessels and subsequent tumor
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a Phase 1 study to determine the maximal tolerated dose and maximum biologically active dose of the E1A gene delivered by intratumoral injection as a lipid complex with 3 beta[N-(n',n'-dimethylaminoethane)-carbamoyl] cholesterol/dioleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (tgDCC-E1A).
OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics, prognostic factors of patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix.
METHODS
The clinical, pathologic and follow-up data of patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix treated in our hospital from
The human CYP2Cs are an important subfamily of P450 enzymes that metabolize approximately 20% of clinically used drugs. There are four members of the subfamily, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2C18. Of these CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 are of clinical importance. The CYP2Cs also metabolize some
A dose-finding study was set up to identify the optimal dose of the combination of paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) and carboplatin for phase II studies in patients with advanced chemotherapy-naive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The influence of drug sequence on
OBJECTIVE
Progressive obliteration occurs in arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) after radiosurgery; however, the risk of hemorrhage remains until the obliteration process is complete. The authors sought to enhance the radiation effect and reduce the risk of hemorrhage by facilitating faster vessel
Based on the superior response rates (21% to 24%) of patients treated with single-agent paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and on the superior 1-year
Paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) and cisplatin are cytotoxic drugs active against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that possess additive cytotoxicity in animal tumors. Paclitaxel and cisplatin are active in patients with advanced NSCLC when given on a 3-weekly
BACKGROUND
E2104 was designed to evaluate the safety of two different strategies incorporating bevacizumab into anthracycline-containing adjuvant therapy as a precursor to a definitive randomized phase III trial.
METHODS
Patients were sequentially assigned to one of two treatment arms. In addition
Cisplatin is a potent tubular toxin with a high incidence of nephrotoxicity. Carboplatin is considered less nephrotoxic but can still cause tubular injury and interstitial nephritis in patients who have been previously treated with cisplatin. The affected individuals usually have nonoliguric renal
BACKGROUND
Platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab is the new standard of care in stage IVB cervical cancer (CC) patients. In this new scenario, radical surgery could be offered in selected cases with an optimal clinical response. Potential surgical complications related to previous bevacizumab
