Global profiling of EGFR gene mutation, amplification, regulation and tissue protein expression in unknown primary carcinomas: To target or not to target?
(2007)
Introduction: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling contributes to malignant transformation and survival. We studied molecular predictors of benefit from EGFR-modulating therapies in patients with cancer of ...
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. ...
Prognostic Significance of ESR1 Gene Amplification, mRNA/Protein Expression and Functional Profiles in High-Risk Early Breast Cancer: A Translational Study of the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG)
(2013)
Background:Discrepant data have been published on the incidence and prognostic significance of ESR1 gene amplification in early breast cancer.Patients and Methods:Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor blocks were collected ...
Undergraduate training in oncology: An ESO continuing challenge for medical students
(2012)
During the last six years the European School of Oncology (ESO) opened an undergraduate programme for European medical students, aiming to further improve their oncology knowledge and clinical skills. In this endeavour a ...
Long-term survivors among patients with cancer of unknown primary
(2012)
There is a general conception among oncologists that CUP patients behave poorly to treatment and carry a dismal survival. In this paper we are trying to elucidate the different groups of CUP patients and to describe in ...
Relapsing Episodes of Loss of Consciousness in a Patient With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(2014)
Hypoglycemia is common in people with diabetes treated with insulin or oral medications such as sulphonylureas or other secretagogues, and constitutes a relatively rare paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with a variety ...
Docetaxel and carboplatin combination chemotherapy as outpatient palliative therapy in carcinoma of unknown primary: A multicentre Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group phase II study
(2008)
Introduction. Taxane/platinum combinations exhibit synergistic cytotoxicity and activity against a broad range of solid tumours. We sought to optimise the regimen as a suitable outpatient palliative treatment for cancer ...
