BACKGROUND
The mechanism of the first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) acquired resistance included T790M mutation, cellular-mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (MET) or EGFR amplification, PIK3CA mutation, and transformation to small cell
ZD6474 is a novel, orally active inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase, with some additional activity against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of ZD6474 in the control of
Malignant pleural effusion (PE) is associated with advanced human lung cancer. We found recently, using a nude mouse model, that vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor (VEGF/VPF) is responsible for PE induced by non-small cell human lung carcinoma cells. The purpose of this
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients benefit from EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy. There are few studies comparing the efficacy between intrapleural chemotherapy combination with TKIs and TKIs alone in controlling Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are known to cause pulmonary complications. We report a case of bosutinib related bilateral pleural effusions in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia. Characteristics of the pleural fluid are presented. We also discuss other tyrosine kinase inhibitors induced pulmonary
Recent studies demonstrated a significantly increased frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of first-line and second-line
OBJECTIVE
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), the standard of care for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, may in some cases lead to the development of pleural effusion (PE). The purpose of this study is to compare healthcare resource utilization and costs associated with PE among
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are effective against lung adenocarcinoma. However, limited data is available assessing the effectiveness of EGFR-TKI use in preventing re-accumulation of MPE. To our knowledge, there is no literature on comparison of talc
UNASSIGNED
Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are often observed in lung cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma-associated MPEs (LA-MPEs) and its correlation with efficacy of EGFR
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of clinical factors on the treatment outcomes of lung cancer patients with active epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations treated by first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
METHODS
Patients of stage IIIb or IV lung
Molecular profiling of tumours has become the mainstay of diagnostics for metastasised solid malignancies and guides personalised treatment, especially in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In current practice, it is often challenging to obtain sufficient tumour material for reliable We report a case of rapid pleural effusion after discontinuation of lenvatinib. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with poorly differentiated thyroid cancer with right pleural metastasis. Weekly paclitaxel treatment was performed for 18 weeks, but it was not effective. Oral administration of
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is an indicator of advanced disease (stage M1a) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Typically, these patients are candidates for palliative treatment. There is a lack of evidence about the radical surgical treatment in carcinomatous pleuritis with
BACKGROUND
T790M is a major cause of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance, but the clinical significance of T790M disappearance is unknown.
METHODS
We report 3 cases of pulmonary adenocarcinoma which did not respond to EGFR-TKI retreatment even with
A 52-year-old man with a past medical history of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in remission developed progressive shortness of breath over a two-month period. He was initially treated with dasatinib for four years, until developing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with pleural effusions. His
