BACKGROUND
Dermatological toxicity, usually in the form of acneiform rash, is frequently observed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with anti-EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The objective of this review was to assess the predictive value of skin rash for
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a pharmaceutical class of small molecules, orally available with manageable safety profile, approved worldwide for the treatment of several neoplasms, including lung, breast, kidney and pancreatic cancer as well as gastro-intestinal stromal tumours and chronic
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to search for predictors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) efficacy in previously treated patients with advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma in which EGFR mutations are very rare.
METHODS
EGFR gene copy numbers were assessed by
UNASSIGNED
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a rash team management intervention designed by certified nurses, medical physicians, and certified pharmacists. The quality of life (QOL) of patients administered epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors
BACKGROUND
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a cutaneous syndrome of unknown origin. Most cases are sporadic and acquired. Herein we report a fifth case of PRP-like eruption associated with ponatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
METHODS
A 60-year-old woman presented at the dermatology
BACKGROUND
Progression of lung cancer is associated with some abnormalities in coagulation. The aim of the study was to determine the predictive and prognostic value of changes in D-dimer concentration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients on anti-EGFR targeted therapy.
METHODS
The analysis
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by a Philadelphia chromosome which contains an oncogene, bcr-abl. This oncogene encodes a tyrosine kinase which is constitutively activated. Imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been widely used in the treatment of CML. Dasatinib and
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to assess the role of skin rash in predicting the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS
We systematically searched for eligible articles
OBJECTIVE
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of severe rash associated with the use of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
METHODS
PubMed, EMBASE and oncology conference proceedings were searched for articles published till March 2016.
RESULTS
A total of
Current treatment modalities for epidermal growth factor (EGFR)-positive cancers have recently included the use of antibodies and small-molecule tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI). A significant limiting step in the use of these agents is dermatological toxicity, frequently in the form of an acneiform
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are effective as a target therapy for malignant neoplasms. Imatinib was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor used. After its introduction, several other drugs have appeared with a similar mechanism of action, but less prone to causing resistance. Even though these drugs are
The presence of an aberrantly activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in many epithelial tumors, due to its overexpression, activating mutations, gene amplification and/or overexpression of receptor ligands, represent the fundamental basis underlying the use of EGFR tyrosine kinase
OBJECTIVE
Data from two large phase III studies were analyzed to characterize the correlation between the occurrence of rash during treatment with the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor erlotinib and improved clinical outcomes.
METHODS
Overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), and
OBJECTIVE
Erlotinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor approved for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose epidermal growth factor receptor expression status is positive or unknown. Although it is efficacious, erlotinib can cause skin toxicity. This
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are used as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. There have been some reports of EGFR-TKIs being associated with vascular adverse events. We found that EGFR-TKIs decreased the proliferation of HMEC-1 (immortalized human
