Background. Although the TNM system is useful in predicting survival in resected colorectal cancer, heterogeneity within the same stages regarding prognosis exists. We are presenting a pooled analysis of prognostic factors ...
Phase I trial of intravenous cisplatin-topotecan chemotherapy for three consecutive days in patients with advanced solid tumors: Parallel topotecan escalation in two fixed platinum dosing schemes
(2005)
Purpose: We performed a phase I study of two fixed dosing schemes of cisplatin, a DNA cross-linker, with intravenous escalating topotecan, a DNA-topoisomerase I inhibitor. Experimental Design: 40 patients with advanced ...
Cavitating squamous cell lung carcinoma-distinct entity or not? Analysis of radiologic, histologic, and clinical features
(2004)
Introduction: Patients with cavitating squamous lung carcinoma (cSLC) are believed to harbor aggressive, chemoresistant disease with distinct features and fare poorly. We retrospectively analyzed radiologic, histologic, ...
Targeting c-KIT, PDGFR in cancer of unknown primary: A screening study for molecular markers of benefit
(2008)
