Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin and paclitaxel in advanced breast cancer
(2001)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity profile of dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin (EPI) and paclitaxel in advanced breast cancer (ABC). From January to September 1997, 41 ...
Metastatic breast cancer with liver metastases: A registry analysis of clinicopathologic, management and outcome characteristics of 500 women
(2006)
Introduction. Breast cancer patients developing liver metastases have traditionally been considered to make up a poor prognosis group with median survival rates of less than 6 months. We retrospectively analysed clinicopathologic ...
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 ...
Combination regimen with carboplatin, epirubicin and etoposide in metastatic carcinomas of unknown primary site: A Hellenic Co-operative Oncology Group phase II study
(1998)
The encouraging results that have been reported for cisplatin combination chemotherapy in a minority of patients with cancer of unknown primary (CUP) together with the previously shown equal activity of carboplatin in this ...
Gene expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and microtubule-associated protein Tau in high-risk early breast cancer: A quest for molecular predictors of treatment benefit in the context of a Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group trial
(2009)
Background Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) protein expression carry weak prognostic and moderate predictive utility for the outcome of early breast cancer patients on adjuvant chemohormonotherapy. ...
Paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line chemotherapy combined with gefitinib (IRESSA) in patients with advanced breast cancer: A phase I/II study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(2005)
Paclitaxel (TaxolR) and carboplatin are an effective combination regimen for treating advanced breast cancer. Gefitinib (IRESSA) is the first epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor to be approved for ...
Dose-dense sequential adjuvant chemotherapy followed, as indicated, by trastuzumab for one year in patients with early breast cancer: First report at 5-year median follow-up of a Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group randomized phase III trial
(2014)
Background: Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy including anthracyclines and taxanes has been established in the adjuvant setting of high-risk operable breast cancer. However, the preferable taxane and optimal schedule of ...
Evaluation of six tumor markers in patients with carcinoma of unknown primary
(1994)
We have retrospectively evaluated six serum tumor markers in 85 patients with carcinoma of unknown primary. The serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA 19‐9, CA 15‐3, CA 125, β‐chorionic gonadotropin (β‐HCG) and ...
Paclitaxel with carboplatin versus paclitaxel with carboplatin alternating with cisplatin as first-line chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: Preliminary results of a Hellenic Cooperative Ontology Group study
(1997)
Ninety previously untreated patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages IIC, III, and IV) were randomized, after initial cytoreductive surgery, to receive ...
Paclitaxel plus carboplatin versus paclitaxel plus alternating carboplatin and cisplatin for initial treatment of advanced ovarian cancer: Long-term efficacy results: A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG) study
(2005)
Background: We compared the combination plus Carboplatin plus paclitaxel, which is considered the treatment of choice for initial chemotherapy of advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) with a regimen combining alternating carboplatin ...
