Multicenter phase-II trial of irinotecan plus oxaliplatin [IROX regimen] in patients with poor-prognosis cancer of unknown primary: A hellenic cooperative oncology group study
(2008)
Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) lacks established therapy although it affects 3% of cancer patients. We evaluated the irinotecan- oxaliplatin combination (IROX regimen) in previously untreated patients with ...
Treatment of periodontal endosseous defects with platelet-rich plasma alone or in combination with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft: A comparative clinical trial
(2009)
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) alone or combined with other regenerative materials was previously studied in human periodontal endosseous defects. There are no sufficient data evaluating to what extent the addition ...
Paclitaxel, cisplatin, leucovorin, and continuous infusion fluorouracil followed by concomitant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: A hellenic cooperative oncology group phase II study
(2005)
The primary objective of this phase II study was to access the complete response (CR) rate to a new innovative induction regimen in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LA-HNC). From October 2000 until ...
Prognostic factors influencing complete response to treatment and survival of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer
(1998)
The identification of prognostic factors influencing local control and survival of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) might help in pointing out those patients who would probably benefit from primary treatment. A ...
Serotonin and neuron-specific enolase: Serum acute and mid-term levels and their association with posttraumatic depression
(2010)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-four patients ...
Primary extranodal non Hodgkin's lymphoma of the head and neck in adults: A clinicopathological comparison between tonsillar and non tonsillar lymphomas
(1998)
Primary extranodal NHL of the head and neck (HN-NHL) accounts for 10-20% of all cases of NHL. Despite their frequency, the natural history and biological behaviour of these lymphomas is poorly understood. In this study we ...
Serum anion gap in multiple myeloma patients
(1992)
The aim of this study was, first, to reconfirm the low serum anion gap (SAG) in multiple myeloma patients and, second, to propose the possible pathophysiologic mechanisms involved. We studied 20 patients with IgG multiple ...
Prognostic significance of UBE2C mRNA expression in high-risk early breast cancer. A hellenic cooperative oncology group (HECOG) study
(2012)
Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Components of the UPS have recently been implicated in breast cancer progression. In the present study, we sought to explore the ...
Ifosfamide plus oral etoposide salvage chemotherapy for platinum- resistant paclitaxel-pretreated ovarian cancer
(2000)
Background: The prognosis of platinum resistant ovarian cancer is very poor and the treatment of choice has not been clearly defined. Patients and methods: We conducted a phase II study with the combination of ifosfamide ...
The missing kiss of life: Transcriptional activity of the metastasis suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2007)
Background: KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene encoding a neuropeptide with potent antimetastatic activities in tumour cell lines. The transcriptional activity of the gene and its associations in resected breast cancer ...
