creatinine/breast neoplasms

Zoledronic acid (Zol) is frequently used for the treatment of bone disease in patients with multiple myeloma and breast cancer with metastasis to bone. Therefore, there is also an interest in finding the optimal dosing regimen to optimize effects, minimize side effects and reduce costs. In our phase

OBJECTIVE Fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide protocol (FAC) is a commonly used regimen for breast cancer due to its proven efficacy, acceptable toxicity, high affordability. While hepatic insufficiency dosing for doxorubicin and fluorouracil have been set, there is paucity of data in the

Combination ribociclib and aromatase inhibitors are currently the preferred treatment in Australia for newly diagnosed hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer in the absence of visceral crisis. In our case series of 32 patients, 28% experienced grade 1 elevations in creatinine, a toxicity

Purpose The CKD4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib is related to adverse events such as hematological toxicity and increase in serum creatinine levels associated with abemaciclib pharmacokinetics. Increase in serum creatinine levels is considered a result of competition with abemaciclib via organic cation

OBJECTIVE A number of age-related physiological changes contribute to an increased risk of toxicity of cancer chemotherapy in the elderly. One of the most important of these changes is the progressive decline in renal function with aging. We sought to determine the association between calculated

During a population-based screening project for breast cancer, almost 15,000 women aged 50 years and over have provided a 12 h (overnight) sample of urine for research purposes. In 3,789 women the excretion of 11-desoxy-17-oxosteroids (DOOS) and creatinine was measured. Results were analysed in

Recent preliminary studies have implicated urinary pteridines as candidate biomarkers in a growing number of malignancies including breast cancer. While the developments of capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and liquid

Ninety-two patients with advanced breast carcinoma and no prior chemotherapy from 65 to 90 years old were treated with the combination cyclophosphamide (C), methotrexate (M), and 5-fluorouracil (F) (CMF). Because of the primary renal excretion of the first two drugs, their initial doses were

Olaparib (AZD2281) is an oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with antitumour activity in cancer patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutations and in patients with homologous recombination deficiency. In this dose-finding study, patients were randomized to olaparib 10, 30, 100, 200 or 400 mg

OBJECTIVE Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to RANKL, suppresses bone resorption. This study evaluated the effects of denosumab in i.v. bisphosphonate (IV BP)-naïve patients with breast cancer-related bone metastases. METHODS Eligible women (n = 255), stratified by type of antineoplastic

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term tolerability and activity of prolonged administration of bisphosphonates (BPs) in breast cancer (BrCa) patients with bone metastasis (BM). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed safety data and activity of BPs in BrCa patients with BM who had received intravenous BPs

Previous studies indicate that calcium and its regulating hormones, i.e., parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D, might affect breast cancer risk. Evidence also suggests that this relationship could be influenced by menopausal status and BMI. We examined breast cancer risk related to prediagnostic
