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, ...
Prognostic variables in Greek patients with stage II breast cancer: A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group Study
(1997)
The independent effects of several patient, tumor and treatment-related prognostic factors on relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed by Cox multivariate regression analysis in 988 Greek patients ...
Effect of letrozole on the lipid profile in postmenopausal women with breast cancer
(2001)
Hormonal therapy plays a central role in the overall treatment of breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors can inhibit the aromatase enzyme system resulting in a reduction of oestrogens. Letrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase ...
Biomarkers of benefit from cetuximab-based therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer: Interaction of EGFR ligand expression with RAS/RAF, PIK3CA genotypes
(2013)
Background: More than half of patients with KRAS-wild type advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) fail anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies. We studied EGFR-axis messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and RAS, RAF, PIK3CA mutations in order ...
Lymphoma in Sjogren's syndrome
(1992)
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease with a known predisposition for lymphoma development. Eight of 120 patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome followed at the University of loannina over the past 7 years developed ...
A Phase II trial of carboplatin and vindesine in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group study
(1993)
In an effort to investigate a regimen less toxic and more convenient than cisplatin combinations, 50 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated in a Phase II study with carboplatin and vindesine. Carboplatin ...
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 ...
Elemental composition of bone minerals in women with breast cancer treated with adjuvant tamoxifen
(1996)
Oestrogen levels play a major role in conditioning the rates of bone changes in women. Tamoxifen is a synthetic oestrogen antagonist commonly used as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. The goal of the present study was ...
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. ...
Immunohistochemical expression of extracellular matrix components tenascin, fibronectin, collagen type IV and laminin in breast cancer: Their prognostic value and role in tumour invasion and progression
(2002)
The immunohistochemical expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components tenascin (TN), fibronectin (FN), collagen type IV (Coll) and laminin (LN), and their possible relationships were studied in a series of 134 ...
