Are the effects of tamoxifen on the serum lipid profile modified by apolipoprotein E phenotypes?
(2002)
Background: Tamoxifen has favorable effects on the serum lipid profile. It has been suggested that the apolipoprotein (Apo) E phenotype can influence serum lipid parameters; the ApoE allele 4 (ApoE4) is associated with ...
Postoperative radiation and concomitant bolus fluorouracil with or without additional chemotherapy with fluorouracil and high-dose leucovorin in patients with high-risk rectal cancer: A randomized phase III study conducted by the hellenic cooperative oncology group
(1999)
Background: Randomized studies have shown that postoperative chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy (RT) improved local control and survival of patients with stages II or III rectal cancer. However, the optimal ...
Five tumor markers in lung cancer: Significance of total and>-Bound sialic acid
(1991)
Total sialic acid (TSA) and > sialic acid (LSA) were evaluated in comparison to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and ferritin and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in 152 untreated patients with primary lung cancer, 107 benign ...
Population pharmacokinetic and dynamic analysis of the topoisomerase I inhibitor lurtotecan in phase II studies
(2002)
Population pharmacokinetic-dynamic analysis was prospectively integrated in a broad phase II program of lurtotecan (GI147211), a novel camptothecin derived topoisomerase I inhibitor, to determine the population pharmacokinetic ...
Fluorouracil and leucovorin with or without interferon alfa-2b in advanced colorectal cancer: Analysis of a prospective randomized phase III trial
(1996)
Purpose: To investigate if double modulation of fluorouracil (5-FU) with leucovorin (folinic acid [FA]) and interferon alfa-2b (IFN 2b) improves responses and survival in comparison to single modulation of 5-FU with FA. ...
Gene expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and microtubule-associated protein Tau in high-risk early breast cancer: A quest for molecular predictors of treatment benefit in the context of a Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group trial
(2009)
Background Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) protein expression carry weak prognostic and moderate predictive utility for the outcome of early breast cancer patients on adjuvant chemohormonotherapy. ...
Combination chemotherapy with low doses of weekly Carboplatin and oral Etoposide in poor risk small cell lung cancer
(1999)
Sixty patients with poor prognostic features, either with extensive disease (ED) or limited disease (LD) small cell lung cancer (SCLC), were treated on an out-patient basis with Carboplatin 80 mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks and ...
