Immunohistochemical study of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype in cancer of unknown primary: Incidence, correlations and prognostic utility
(2012)
Background: The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with metastatic dissemination and poor outcome in several solid tumour types. Our aim was to study its incidence and its prognostic significance ...
Neoadjuvant versus adjuvant systemic treatment in breast cancer: A meta-analysis
(2005)
Background: Interest in the use of preoperative systemic treatment in the management of breast cancer has increased because such neoadjuvant therapy appears to reduce the extent of local surgery required. We compared the ...
Cancer and pregnancy

Improved outcome of high-risk early HER2 positive breast cancer with high CXCL13-CXCR5 messenger RNA expression
(2012)
Background: Chemokines are important in cell migration and are thought to play a key role in metastasis. We explored the prognostic significance of C-X-C ligand-motif (CXCL) 12, CXCL13, and receptor (CXCR) 5 on disease-free ...
Monoclonal immunoglobulins and autoantibodies in lymphoid malignancies
(1990)
The presence of serum monoclonal or oligoclonal immunoglobulins (paraproteins) was investigated in 38 non Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients, 33 patients with solid tumors and 33 healthy individuals. ...
Primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A clinicopathologic study of 128 cases in Greece. A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group study (HeCOG)
(2006)
The aim of this retrospective study was to illustrate the clinicopathologic data and the treatment results in patients with primary gastrointestinal tract non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (GI NHL). Among 810 patients with NHL, 128 ...
Randomized comparison of early versus late hyperfractionated thoracic irradiation concurrently with chemotherapy in limited disease small-cell lung cancer: A randomized phase II study of the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG)
(2001)
Background: Concurrent platinum-etoposide chemotherapy given in combination with hyperfractionated thoracic radiation therapy (HTRT) in limited disease (LD) small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is associated with a high response ...
Prognostic significance of RACGAP1 mRNA expression in high-risk early breast cancer: A study in primary tumors of breast cancer patients participating in a randomized Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group trial
(2013)
Purpose: RACGAP1 is a Rac GTPase-activating protein involved in cell growth regulation, cell transformation and metastasis. The aim of the present study was to explore the prognostic and/or predictive significance of RACGAP1 ...
High levels of topoisomerase IIα protein expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are associated with high proliferation, germinal center immunophenotype, and response to treatment
(2010)
Gene copy number and protein expression of topoisomerase IIα were correlated to benefit from anthracyclines in various tumors. A retrospective series of 69 patients with DLBCL managed with CHOP chemotherapy were studied ...
Somatization is associated with physical health-related quality of life independent of anxiety and depression in cancer, glaucoma and rheumatological disorders
(2009)
Purpose: To test the relative importance of anxiety, depression and somatization as correlates of physical health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in several chronic physical disorders. Methods: In a cross-sectional study ...
