(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, ...
Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in breast cancer patients: A study by the EORTC-PAMM-NDDG
(2007)
Aims: To investigate the population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in breast cancer patients. Patients and methods: Sixty-five female patients with early or advanced breast cancer ...
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. ...
Biweekly administration of low-dose docetaxel in hormone-resistant prostate cancer: Pilot study of an effective subtoxic therapy
(2003)
Taxane-based chemotherapy has shown activity but also toxicity when administered at standard doses in patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer (HRPC). In this pilot study, we investigated biweekly low-dose docetaxel ...
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 ...
Fluorouracil and leucovorin with or without interferon alfa-2a as adjuvant treatment, in patients with high-risk colon cancer. A randomized phase III study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
