hypophosphatemia/tyrosine

We retrospectively investigated hypophosphatemia induced byty rosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs), in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Subjects evaluated were 14, 11, and 8 patients who received TKIs(imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib), respectively, at the Department of Hematology in Ichinomiya

Ibrutinib, an irreversible oral inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, has been used in the treatment of patients with multiple hematologic malignancies. A 59-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia was treated with 420 mg/day of ibrutinib. No evidence of bruising or diarrhea was noted. The

BACKGROUND Nilotinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) formerly known as AMN107, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 29, 2007, for the treatment of adult patients with chronic-phase (CP) and accelerated-phase (AP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are at the forefront of molecular-targeted therapies for cancer. With the advent of imatinib for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia, a new wave of small-molecule therapeutics redefined the oncologic treatment to become chronically administered medications

BACKGROUND Various tyrosine kinase signalling pathways affect the development and progression of colorectal cancer (crc). In clinical trials, regorafenib has been associated with a survival benefit in metastatic crc (mcrc). We assessed the safety and efficacy of regorafenib in real-world

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features and mutations of the FAH gene. METHODS Clinical records of two cases were collected, and diagnosis was made according to the diagnostic criteria of the International Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood

Imatinib mesylate is a rationally designed tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Although the efficacy and tolerability of imatinib are a vast improvement over conventional chemotherapies, the drug exhibits

OBJECTIVE Sorafenib and erlotinib are potent, orally administered receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors with antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. Given their inhibitory target profile and efficacy as single agents, the combination of these drugs is of considerable interest in solid

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy and safety of single agent sorafenib, an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced uterine carcinoma and carcinosarcoma. METHODS This multi-institutional non-randomized phase II trial enrolled two cohorts: patients with uterine

OBJECTIVE To review the common and serious toxicities associated with the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib and sunitinib and mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus, and to outline the most recent toxicity management guidelines. RESULTS Common grade 3 or 4 side effects with sorafenib include

Three mixtures containing varying proportions of threonine, tyrosine, and the ornithine, lysine, and histidine salts of branched-chain keto acids have been tested as dietary supplements to a 20- to 25-g mixed-quality protein diet in patients with severe chronic uremia. Two of the three supplements

Hawkinsinuria is a rare disorder of tyrosine metabolism that can manifest with metabolic acidosis and growth arrest around the time of weaning off breast milk, typically followed by spontaneous resolution of symptoms around 1 year of age. The urinary metabolites hawkinsin, quinolacetic acid, and

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can secrete hormones, including ectopic secretions, but they have been rarely associated with malignant hypercalcemia. A 52-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor. A pancreatic biopsy confirmed a well-differentiated

Imatinib inhibits tyrosine kinases important in osteoclast (c-Fms) and osteoblast (platelet-derived growth factor receptor [PDGF-R], c-Abl) function, suggesting that long-term therapy may alter bone homeostasis. To investigate this question, we measured the trabecular bone volume (TBV) in iliac
