The aim of this study is to compare the risk of treatment-related toxicities and long-term survival between obese and nonobese patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma when treated with full uncapped doses of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy. A
OBJECTIVE
Clinicians typically cap an obese patient's chemotherapy regimen as a result of concern for excessive toxicity, without adequate clinical evidence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of grade 3 or 4 myelosuppression in obese patients versus nonobese patients with
Breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy often develop fatigue from their treatment that may persist for months. While the positive effects of physical activity in cancer patients are increasingly recognized, the impact of obesity on chemotherapy-induced fatigue has not been well
BACKGROUND
It is estimated that 37% of the U.S. population is obese. It is unknown how obesity influences the operative and survival outcomes of cytoreductive surgery (CRS)/hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of a prospective database of
The purpose of the study was to identify predictors of long-term survival in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A cohort of 96 patients, who received high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support (HD-ASCT) as part of their treatment, was analyzed. Percent long-term survival at 10 years was
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is an increasing health problem that is reported to influence chemotherapy dosing. The extent to which this occurs and whether this affects outcomes in ovarian cancer was unclear. To describe chemotherapy dosing practices in normal, overweight and obese patients treated for FIGO
OBJECTIVE
Despite rising global obesity rates, the impact of obesity on gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) remains uninvestigated. This study aimed at investigating whether overweight/obesity relates to response to chemotherapy in low-risk GTN patients.
METHODS
This nonconcurrent cohort study
BACKGROUND
Dose reduction in obese cancer patients has been replaced by fully weight-based dosing recommendations. No data, however, are available on the effects of dose reduction in obese stage III colon cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy.
METHODS
Survival outcomes and toxicity data
BACKGROUND
Appropriate chemotherapy dosing for obese patients with malignant diseases is a significant challenge because limiting chemotherapy doses in these patients may negatively influence outcome. There is a paucity of information addressing high-dose chemotherapy in obese patients undergoing
BACKGROUND
Substantial variation in adjuvant breast cancer chemotherapy dosing in obese women suggests that there is uncertainty about optimal practices. The purpose of this study was to investigate variations in dose determinations in clinical trial protocols and publications over the last 3
Metabolic syndrome components like overweight, obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia are common findings in patients with cancer diagnosis under chemotherapy treatment. These factors have been associated with higher recurrence rates. This study associates Body Mass index, steroids treatment
The purpose of this study was to determine sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and phase angle (PA) and the influence of chemotherapy (CT) on anthropometric measurements and and the PA in in geriatric patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.The anthropometric OBJECTIVE
We examined data from a large clinical trial to determine if chemotherapy dosing according to actual body weight places obese patients at greater risk of toxicity.
METHODS
Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) study 8541, a randomized study of schedule and dose of adjuvant cyclophosphamide,
Since 1982, we have performed 384 courses of CHOP chemotherapy for 89 patients with malignancy including 70 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, adhering to the original regimen as strictly as possible. As severe acute reactions, myelosuppression, fever, arrhythmia, hemorrhagic cystitis, and perforation of
OBJECTIVE
Although the importance of obesity in colon cancer risk and outcome is recognized, the association of body mass index (BMI) with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status is unknown.
METHODS
BMI (kg/m(2)) was determined in patients with TNM stage II or III colon carcinomas (n = 2,693) who
