A prospective randomized phase III study in non-small-cell lung cancer comparing cisplatin, ifosfamide, vinblastine (VIP) versus cisplatin, ifosfamide and etoposide (VIP-16)
(1996)
Background: It was recently reported that when ifosfamide was added to cisplatin and vinblastine the response rate was increased but not the survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this ...
First-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel by three-hour infusion and carboplatin in advanced breast cancer (final report): A phase II study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(1998)
Purpose: To evaluate the activity and toxicity of the combination of paclitaxel given by three-hour infusion, and carboplatin as first- line chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Background: Paclitaxel ...
Radiation and concurrent carboplatin administration in locally advanced head and neck cancer
(1995)
Aims and Background: To improve local control in patients with locally advanced inoperable head and neck cancer we administered carboplatin concurrently with radiation. Methods: Thirty-nine patients entered the study. There ...
Epithelial ovarian cancer in Greece: A retrospective study of 1,791 patients by the hellenic cooperative oncology group (HeCOG)
(2009)
Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to present the epidemiological, pathological and clinical characteristics and treatment results of Greek women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Patients and Methods: ...
Diffuse large cell lymphomas: Identification of prognostic factors and validation of the international non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Prognostic Index
(1998)
Several clinical prognostic factors have been identified that predict treatment outcome in patients with diffuse large cell lymphomas. An International Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Prognostic Index (IPI) has been recently ...
Advanced stage clear-cell epithelial ovarian cancer: The Hellenic cooperative oncology group experience
(2006)
Purpose.: Ovarian clear-cell carcinomas (OCCC) are known to be possibly resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy and to have a poorer prognosis with respect to other subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study ...
High‐dose epirubicin and r‐met‐hu G‐CSF (Filgrastim) in the treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer: A hellenic cooperative oncology group study
(1995)
The delivery of high‐dose epirubicin in patients with advanced breast cancer usually entails serious myelotoxicity and frequent treatment delays. Concurrent administration of G‐CSF probably allows the administration of ...
Can statin therapy reduce the risk of melanoma? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(2010)
A growing body of literature suggests that statins may have a chemopreventive potential against melanoma through pleiotropic anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antiangiogenesis mechanisms. Our aim was to examine this ...
Chemotherapy-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema related to gemcitabine plus docetaxel combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support
(2000)
Several cancer therapeutic agents have been associated with pulmonary toxicity. Herein, we describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with breast cancer metastatic to the liver, who developed noncardiogenic pulmonary edema ...
Tumor volumetry as predictive and prognostic factor in the management of ovarian cancer
(2002)
Background: The usefulness of tumor volumetry in ovarian epithelial cancer has never been intensively investigated. The aim of the present study was to determine the value of quantitative analysis of tumor volume as a ...
