A prospective randomized phase III study in non-small-cell lung cancer comparing cisplatin, ifosfamide, vinblastine (VIP) versus cisplatin, ifosfamide and etoposide (VIP-16)
(1996)
Background: It was recently reported that when ifosfamide was added to cisplatin and vinblastine the response rate was increased but not the survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this ...

(1998)
Purpose: To evaluate the activity and toxicity of the combination of paclitaxel given by three-hour infusion, and carboplatin as first- line chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Background: Paclitaxel ...
Diffuse large cell lymphomas: Identification of prognostic factors and validation of the international non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Prognostic Index
(1998)
Several clinical prognostic factors have been identified that predict treatment outcome in patients with diffuse large cell lymphomas. An International Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Prognostic Index (IPI) has been recently ...
High‐dose epirubicin and r‐met‐hu G‐CSF (Filgrastim) in the treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer: A hellenic cooperative oncology group study
(1995)
The delivery of high‐dose epirubicin in patients with advanced breast cancer usually entails serious myelotoxicity and frequent treatment delays. Concurrent administration of G‐CSF probably allows the administration of ...
Cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, fluorouracil versus conventional CMF as adjuvant treatment in node-positive breast cancer patients
(1996)
362 evaluable node-positive patients with stage II breast cancer were randomized, receiving either 6 cycles of conventional CMF or 6 cycles of the combination of cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m2), mitoxantrone (Novantrone 10 ...
The value of CA-125 determination in the serum of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. A preliminary report
(1994)
The levels of CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and CA 125 in the serum of 50 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) were investigated. Mean values of these serum tumor markers were compared to stage, presence or absence of B-symptoms, ...
Prognostic variables in Greek patients with stage II breast cancer: A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group Study
(1997)
The independent effects of several patient, tumor and treatment-related prognostic factors on relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed by Cox multivariate regression analysis in 988 Greek patients ...
Prognostic variables in patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil and leucovorin-based chemotherapy
(1996)
Possible prognostic variables for tumor response, time to progression (TTP), and survival in 141 patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil and leucovorin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. None of ...
Multicentre phase II pharmacological evaluation of rhizoxin
(1996)
Rhizoxin is a macrocyclic lactone compound that binds to tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly. Rhizoxin demonstrated preclinical anti-tumour activity against a variety of human tumour cell lines and xenograft models. ...
Soluble interleukin-2 receptors in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma
(1996)
The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) were measured in the serum of 52 patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma and compared to CEA and CA 19-9 levels. Twenty-five normal, age and sex-matched individuals ...
