(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 ...
Randomized comparison of etoposide-cisplatin vs. etoposide-carboplatin and irradiation in small-cell lung cancer: A hellenic co-operative oncology group study
(1994)
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and toxicity of etoposide and cisplatin (EP) with etoposide and carboplatin (EC) in combination with irradiation in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: Previously untreated patients ...
Prognostic factors in patients with colorectal cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy: A pooled analysis of two randomized studies
(2005)
Background. Although the TNM system is useful in predicting survival in resected colorectal cancer, heterogeneity within the same stages regarding prognosis exists. We are presenting a pooled analysis of prognostic factors ...
Prognostic utility of β-tubulin isotype III and correlations with other molecular and clinicopathological variables in patients with early breast cancer: A translational Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG) study
(2011)
We evaluated the prognostic and predictive utility of β-tubulin isotype III (TUBB3) tumour gene transcription in early breast cancer patients enrolled in a randomised study. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase ...
Effect of angiotensin converting enzyme gene I/D polymorphism and its expression on clinical outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2013)
Background. The role of the D allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism in the clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) remains ...
Cavitating squamous cell lung carcinoma-distinct entity or not? Analysis of radiologic, histologic, and clinical features
(2004)
Introduction: Patients with cavitating squamous lung carcinoma (cSLC) are believed to harbor aggressive, chemoresistant disease with distinct features and fare poorly. We retrospectively analyzed radiologic, histologic, ...
KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations in Greek and Romanian patients with colorectal cancer: A cohort study
(2014)
Objectives: Treatment decision-making in colorectal cancer is often guided by tumour tissue molecular analysis. The aim of this study was the development and validation of a high-resolution melting (HRM) method for the ...
Clinicopathological study of metallothionein immunohistochemical expression, in benign, borderline and malignant ovarian epithelial tumors
(2006)
Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of cystein-rich metal-binding proteins, which are expressed in normal cells during fetal and postnatal life but also in a variety of human neoplasms. MT expression in human tumors has ...
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 ...
Cost-effectiveness of leucoreduction for prevention of febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions
(2014)
Background. The cost-effectiveness of universal leucoreduction of blood components remains unclear. When using leucoreduced red blood cells, the decrease in the rate of febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) ...
