Combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel plus carboplatin versus paclitaxel plus gemcitabine in inoperable non-small cell lung cancer: A phase III randomized study. Preliminary results
(2000)
Gemcitabine plus paclitaxel and paclitaxel plus carboplatin are active and well tolerated in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, showing similar rates of response and survival. The Hellenic Cooperative ...
Dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin monotherapy in patients with operable breast cancer and ≥ 10 positive axillary lymph nodes
(1998)
Forty-one patients with operable breast cancer and ≥ 10 positive axillary lymph nodes were treated with 6 cycles of dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of epirubicin (100 mg/m2) every 2 weeks with G-CSF support. A ...
Postoperative radiation and concomitant bolus fluorouracil with or without additional chemotherapy with fluorouracil and high-dose leucovorin in patients with high-risk rectal cancer: A randomized phase III study conducted by the hellenic cooperative oncology group
(1999)
Background: Randomized studies have shown that postoperative chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy (RT) improved local control and survival of patients with stages II or III rectal cancer. However, the optimal ...
Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) plus carboplatin versus paclitaxel (225 mg/m2) plus carboplatin in non-small cell lung cancer: a randomized study.
(1997)
A recent phase II study by our group documented a response rate of 27% with the combination paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) 175 mg/m2 plus carboplatin dosed to a target area under the ...
Fluorouracil and leucovorin with or without interferon alfa-2b in advanced colorectal cancer: Analysis of a prospective randomized phase III trial
(1996)
Purpose: To investigate if double modulation of fluorouracil (5-FU) with leucovorin (folinic acid [FA]) and interferon alfa-2b (IFN 2b) improves responses and survival in comparison to single modulation of 5-FU with FA. ...
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. ...
Combination chemotherapy with low doses of weekly Carboplatin and oral Etoposide in poor risk small cell lung cancer
(1999)
Sixty patients with poor prognostic features, either with extensive disease (ED) or limited disease (LD) small cell lung cancer (SCLC), were treated on an out-patient basis with Carboplatin 80 mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks and ...
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 ...
The value of neuroendocrine markers in non-small cell lung cancer: a comparative immunohistopathologic study
(1994)
In order to estimate the value of immunohistochemical identification of neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation markers in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs), we investigated the expression of five neuroendocrine and ...
Intensive chemotherapy with high-dose epirubicin every 2 weeks and prophylactic administration of filgrastim in advanced breast cancer
(1994)
50 women with advanced breast cancer were treated with an intensified regimen which consisted of high-dose epirubicin (110 mg/m2) every 2 weeks and filgrastim (5 μg/kg) subcutaneously for 13 days, starting 24 h after ...
