Weekly paclitaxel combined with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx ™) given every 4 weeks: Dose-finding and pharmacokinetic study in patients with advanced solid tumors
(2004)
Background: We aimed to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the toxicity of the combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD; Caelyx™) and weekly paclitaxel (wPTX), and to investigate pharmacokinetics ...
Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin and paclitaxel in advanced breast cancer
(2001)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity profile of dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin (EPI) and paclitaxel in advanced breast cancer (ABC). From January to September 1997, 41 ...
Paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin or gemcitabine for the treatment of advanced head and neck cancer

Switching benchmarks in cancer of unknown primary: From autopsy to microarray
(2007)
Introduction: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is associated with unknown biology and dismal prognosis. Information on the primary site of origin is scant and has never been analysed. We systematically reviewed all published ...
Immunohistochemical study of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype in cancer of unknown primary: Incidence, correlations and prognostic utility
(2012)
Background: The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with metastatic dissemination and poor outcome in several solid tumour types. Our aim was to study its incidence and its prognostic significance ...
