(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 ...
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

Evaluation of six tumor markers in patients with carcinoma of unknown primary
(1994)
We have retrospectively evaluated six serum tumor markers in 85 patients with carcinoma of unknown primary. The serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA 19‐9, CA 15‐3, CA 125, β‐chorionic gonadotropin (β‐HCG) and ...
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 ...
Essential drugs for cancer chemotherapy

The value of CA-125 determination in the serum of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. A preliminary report
(1994)
The levels of CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and CA 125 in the serum of 50 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) were investigated. Mean values of these serum tumor markers were compared to stage, presence or absence of B-symptoms, ...
