(2000)
Testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is an uncommon disease and its outcome following chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy has been variable. A retrospective analysis was performed on 26 patients with primary testicular lymphoma ...
Rapid Decline in HIV Incidence among Persons Who Inject Drugs during a Fast-Track Combination Prevention Program after an HIV Outbreak in Athens
(2017)
Background. A "seek-test-treat" intervention (ARISTOTLE) was implemented in response to an outbreak of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Athens. We assess trends in HIV ...
High levels of topoisomerase IIα protein expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are associated with high proliferation, germinal center immunophenotype, and response to treatment
(2010)
Gene copy number and protein expression of topoisomerase IIα were correlated to benefit from anthracyclines in various tumors. A retrospective series of 69 patients with DLBCL managed with CHOP chemotherapy were studied ...
Phase I trial of 6-hour infusion of glufosfamide, a new alkylating agent with potentially enhanced selectivity for tumors that overexpress transmembrane glucose transporters: A study of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Early Clinical Studies Group
(2000)
Purpose: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), the principal toxicities, and the pharmacokinetics of 6-hour infusion of glufosfamide (beta-D-glucosylisophosphoramide mustard; D-19575), a novel alkylating agent ...
Somatization is associated with physical health-related quality of life independent of anxiety and depression in cancer, glaucoma and rheumatological disorders
(2009)
Purpose: To test the relative importance of anxiety, depression and somatization as correlates of physical health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in several chronic physical disorders. Methods: In a cross-sectional study ...
Randomized comparison of etoposide-cisplatin vs. etoposide-carboplatin and irradiation in small-cell lung cancer: A hellenic co-operative oncology group study
(1994)
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and toxicity of etoposide and cisplatin (EP) with etoposide and carboplatin (EC) in combination with irradiation in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: Previously untreated patients ...
Prognostic factors in patients with colorectal cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy: A pooled analysis of two randomized studies
(2005)
Background. Although the TNM system is useful in predicting survival in resected colorectal cancer, heterogeneity within the same stages regarding prognosis exists. We are presenting a pooled analysis of prognostic factors ...
Phase I trial of intravenous cisplatin-topotecan chemotherapy for three consecutive days in patients with advanced solid tumors: Parallel topotecan escalation in two fixed platinum dosing schemes
(2005)
Purpose: We performed a phase I study of two fixed dosing schemes of cisplatin, a DNA cross-linker, with intravenous escalating topotecan, a DNA-topoisomerase I inhibitor. Experimental Design: 40 patients with advanced ...
Effect of angiotensin converting enzyme gene I/D polymorphism and its expression on clinical outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2013)
Background. The role of the D allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism in the clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) remains ...
Cavitating squamous cell lung carcinoma-distinct entity or not? Analysis of radiologic, histologic, and clinical features
(2004)
Introduction: Patients with cavitating squamous lung carcinoma (cSLC) are believed to harbor aggressive, chemoresistant disease with distinct features and fare poorly. We retrospectively analyzed radiologic, histologic, ...
