Backgrounds Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) which is followed by surgery is now a standard therapy in the local advanced breast cancer (LABC) since it was introduced 50 years ago, increasingly being used in early-stage LABC patients. Some NACT studies in RSCM use a doxorubicin-based regimen, giving
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the relationship between short-term use of oral simvastatin on change in expression of Ki-67 as a candidate biomarker of breast tumor proliferation among women with clinical stage 1 or 2- primary invasive breast cancer.
II. Evaluate the relationship between short-term
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease defined by the lack of expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Roughly, it represents 15% of all breast cancers. Patients with TNBC are generally younger
A 19bp deletion polymorphism of intron 1 of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR 19bpdel) increases the risk for breast cancer, and retinoblastoma of the offspring, in folic acid supplement users. Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate present in fortified foods and supplements that must be converted to
Endocrine therapy and acquired endocrine resistance in advanced breast cancer:
First-line treatment of metastatic estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer with endocrine therapy such as Tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors (AI) is efficacious, but development of secondary resistance is inevitable
1. Introduction to investigational treatment(s) and other study treatment(s)
1.1 Overview of gemcitabine Gemcitabine (29,29-difluoro 29-deoxycytidine, dFdC) which developed from cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an nucleoside analog used as chemotherapy. It was intended as an antiviral drug in
While recent research indicates that conventional MRI, advanced echocardiography (global longitudinal strain and 3D) and serum biomarkers can detect CV injury early after receipt of Chemotherapy, these methods require lengthy and difficult examinations that are not routinely executed in community
The relation between cancer and nutrition has been well established; cancer builds upon damage to cellular DNA resulting from carcinogenic environmental factors, in which nutrition plays a major role. Many diet and lifestyle factors can influence the development of cancer, a disease expected to
Biliary tract cancer is relatively rare disease worldwide among all kinds of solid tumors. However the incidence of biliary tract cancer is relatively higher in Korea compared to the western countries. The prognosis of all biliary tract cancer is poor, that is, the 5-year overall survival rate is
Boceprevir is a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4/5. Medicines metabolized primarily by CYP3A4/5 may have increased exposure when administered with boceprevir, which could increase or prolong their therapeutic and adverse reactions. Boceprevir does not inhibit or induce the other enzymes of the CYP450
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
To estimate the difference in the rate of unacceptable toxicity for dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (MVAC) and gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) in the adjuvant treatment of urothelial cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
To compare rates of disease
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of dihydrouracil/uracil (UH_2/U) ratio measured before starting treatment on grade 3-4 capecitabine-related toxicity in women with metastatic breast cancer.
Secondary
- To prospectively test
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the minimum biological effective dose (MBED) of atorvastatin required to induce modulation in the proliferation marker, Ki-67, in breast tissue of women who are at high risk to develop breast cancer. We will evaluate pre- and post atorvastatin treatment (4 dose
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Describe changes from baseline in a panel of biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP], lipid profile, circulating estrogens, and contralateral breast density) in women at high risk of developing new breast cancer who have undergone surgical resection for history

Selection of the Regimen for High-Dose Immunosuppressive Therapy Cyclophosphamide with ATG (Cy/ATG) is a common conditioning regimen with two decades of experience in the treatment of aplastic anemia and has
