Prognostic significance of the deleted in colorectal cancer gene protein expression in high-risk resected gastric carcinoma
(2003)
The deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) gene is a candidate tumor suppressor gene that may be associated with differentiation and proliferation of normal cells. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 18q, where the gene is located, ...
Prognostic variables in patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil and leucovorin-based chemotherapy
(1996)
Possible prognostic variables for tumor response, time to progression (TTP), and survival in 141 patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil and leucovorin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. None of ...
Phase I study of etoposide, cisplatin and irinotecan triplet in patients with advanced-stage small-cell lung cancer
(2005)
The irinotecan-cisplatin combination has emerged as a new standard for the treatment of advanced-stage small-cell lung cancer (AS-SCLC). To move forward we developed a 3-day regimen of cisplatin, etoposide and irinotecan. ...
Megestrol acetate in cancer patients with anorexia and weight loss a hellenic co-operative oncology group (heCOG) study
(1993)
Fifty-two patients with hormone-independent cancer, who complained of anorexia and of weight loss with at least 10% received megestrol acetate (MA), 480 mg daily, during 1-21 weeks. of the 41 patients treated during 4 weeks ...
Docetaxel and gemcitabine combination, as first-line treatment, in patients with extensive disease small-cell lung cancer. A phase II study of the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(2003)
There is some evidence that taxanes and gemcitabine are effective antitumor agents against small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). A total of 20 chemotherapy-naive patients with extensive disease (ED) SCLC, were treated as a part ...
Fluorouracil and leucovorin with or without interferon alfa-2a as adjuvant treatment, in patients with high-risk colon cancer. A randomized phase III study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(2000)
Background: It has been shown in randomized studies that adjuvant treatment with the combination of fluorouracil (FU) and levamisole reduced the risk of recurrence and deaths of patients with stage III colon cancer. ...
Adjuvant chemotherapy using CPT-11, leucovorin plus bolus 5-fluorouracil and radiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer. A feasibility study
(2003)
Background: The addition of CPT-11 to 5FU/leucovorin resulted in survival benefit in patients with advanced colorectal cancer suggesting that this combination could be used successfully in the adjuvant setting. We studied ...
Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin and paclitaxel versus the combination, as first-line chemotherapy, in advanced breast cancer: A randomized study conducted by the hellenic cooperative oncology group
(2001)
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of two different schedules of epirubicin and paclitaxel, as first-line chemotherapy, in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Patients and Methods: From October 1997 until May 1999, ...
Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin-vinblastine in malignant mesothelioma
(1994)
From June 1985 to March 1993, 20 consecutive patients with histologically proven malignant mesothelioma were treated with cisplatin 100 mg/m2 i.v. infusion on day 1 and vinblastine 6 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 and 8. Treatment ...
Subcutaneous low doses of interleukin-2 and recombinant interferon alpha with carboplatin and vinblastine in patients with advanced melanoma
(1998)
Twenty-three patients with advanced melanoma were treated with a combination of subcutaneous recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2), and recombinant interferon alpha-2a (IFN-alpha) with chemotherapy consisting of four ...
