Bcl2 and p53 protein expression in metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary origin: Biological and clinical implications. A Hellenic co-operative oncology group study
(1998)
We have previously shown that metastatic carcinomas of unknown primary site overexpress several tumor markers as well as the products of the oncogenes c-myc, ras and c-erbB2. We analysed the tissue expression of the protein ...
Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) plus carboplatin (6 AUC) versus paclitaxel (225 mg/m2) plus carboplatin (6 AUC) in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A multicenter randomized trial
(2000)
Purpose: The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin has become a widely used regimen in NSCLC due to phase II reports of moderate toxicity, reasonable activity and easy outpatient administration. Purpose of our present ...
Phase II Study of 5-Fluorouracil and Interferon-Gamma in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
(1996)
Preclinical data have shown a synergism between 5-fluorouracil and interferon-γ against human colon carcinoma cell lines. We conducted a phase II trial of this combination in 34 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. ...
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 ...
First-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel by three-hour infusion and carboplatin in advanced breast cancer (final report): A phase II study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(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 ...
Radiation and concurrent carboplatin administration in locally advanced head and neck cancer
(1995)
Aims and Background: To improve local control in patients with locally advanced inoperable head and neck cancer we administered carboplatin concurrently with radiation. Methods: Thirty-nine patients entered the study. There ...
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 ...
Cisplatin/etoposide versus carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy and irradiation in small cell lung cancer: A randomized phase III study
(1994)
The efficacy and toxicity of cisplatin/etoposide and carboplatin/etoposide combinations along with thoracic irradiation were prospectively assessed in patients with small cell lung cancer. Both combinations were equally ...
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 ...
