(2008)
Background: The aim was to examine characteristics and treatment results of patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Patients and methods: Epidemiological and clinical features of 97 ...
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
(1997)
We performed a phase II study to evaluate the activity and toxicity of the combination of paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) and carboplatin as first-line treatment in patients with recurrent ...
Dose-dense sequential adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin, paclitaxel and CMF in high-risk breast cancer
(2001)
Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy appears to be a promising approach in the management of patients with operable breast cancer. We evaluated the tolerability of such a novel chemotherapeutic regimen in high-risk patients. ...
Survival and disease-progression benefits with treatment regimens for advanced colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis
(2007)
Background: Many randomised trials have compared different systemic treatment regimens in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. While survival advances have apparently been achieved, the magnitude of these incremental ...
Metastatic breast cancer with liver metastases: A registry analysis of clinicopathologic, management and outcome characteristics of 500 women
(2006)
Introduction. Breast cancer patients developing liver metastases have traditionally been considered to make up a poor prognosis group with median survival rates of less than 6 months. We retrospectively analysed clinicopathologic ...
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 ...
Neoadjuvant versus adjuvant systemic treatment in breast cancer: A meta-analysis
(2005)
Background: Interest in the use of preoperative systemic treatment in the management of breast cancer has increased because such neoadjuvant therapy appears to reduce the extent of local surgery required. We compared the ...
Rare Cancers Europe (RCE) methodological recommendations for clinical studies in rare cancers: A European consensus position paper
(2015)
While they account for one-fifth of new cancer cases, rare cancers are difficult to study. A higher than average degree of uncertainty should be accommodated for clinical as well as for population-based decision making. ...
