Quality of life and nutritional status among cancer patients on chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Malnutrition is prevalent among cancer patients, and maybe correlated with altered quality of life. The objective of this study is to determine wether quality of life among cancer patients on chemotherapy at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute- Cancer Unit differs from patients

Adjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Chemoradiotherapy Versus Surgery Alone for Early Gastric Cancer with One or Two Lymph Node Metastasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Limited studies exist comparing clinical outcomes by adjuvant treatment for pT1N1 gastric cancer. This study compared the disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with pT1N1 gastric cancer according to the type of adjuvant treatment-surgery alone, chemotherapy (CTx), and chemoradiotherapy

Propensity score-weighted analysis of chemotherapy after PD-1 inhibitors versus chemotherapy alone in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (WJOG10217L).

Only registered users can translate articles

Studies have suggested that chemotherapy after immune checkpoint inhibitors may confer an improved response for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, potential selection bias in such studies has not been addressed. We therefore applied propensity score analysis to investigate

Tumor subtype determines therapeutic response to chimeric polypeptide nanoparticle-based chemotherapy in Pten-deleted mouse models of sarcoma

Only registered users can translate articles

Purpose: Nanoparticle-encapsulated drug formulations can improve responses to conventional chemotherapy by increasing drug retention within the tumor and by promoting a more effective anti-tumor immune response than free drug. New drug

Monitoring physical and psychosocial symptom trajectories in ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) entail severe symptom burden and a significant loss of quality of life (QOL). Somatic and psychological impairments may persist well beyond active therapy. Although essential for optimal symptom management as well as for the interpretation of

CD8+ cytotoxic T cell responses to dominant tumor-associated antigens are profoundly weakened by aging yet subdominant responses retain functionality and expand in response to chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Increasing life expectancy is associated with increased cancer incidence, yet the effect of cancer and anti-cancer treatment on elderly patients and their immune systems is not well understood. Declining T cell function with aging in response to infection and vaccination is well documented, however

Are chemotherapy response rates related to treatment-induced survival prolongations in patients with advanced cancer?

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Patients with incurable cancer are faced with difficult decisions regarding whether to take chemotherapy in an attempt to preserve the quality and/or prolong the quantity of their lives. The average prolongation in survival with chemotherapy compared with best supportive care has not been

Investigation of the role of p53 in chemotherapy resistance of lung cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND p53 is a tumour suppressor gene, which is mutated in more than half of all tumours. Most chemotherapeutic drugs cause DNA damage, which is sensed by p53; the cell can then try to repair the damage or induce cell suicide. If the p53 machinery is defective, effective chemotherapy is made

Impact of early palliative care on overall survival of patients with metastatic upper gastrointestinal cancers treated with first-line chemotherapy: a randomised phase III trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

Palliative care (PC) has usually been offered at the end-of-life stage, although the WHO recommends providing PC as early as possible in the course of the disease. A recent study has shown that early PC (EPC) provides a more meaningful effect on quality of life and, surprisingly, on overall survival

Short-term intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy for head and neck cancer patients maintaining quality of life.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Head and neck cancer treatment achieves good locoregional tumor control rates while causing severe side effects. Therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs administered intravenously is limited because either the concentrations at the tumor site are too low or the total dosages are too high. The

Effectiveness of a home care nursing program in the symptom management of patients with colorectal and breast cancer receiving oral chemotherapy: a randomized, controlled trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of a symptom-focused home care program in patients with cancer who were receiving oral chemotherapy in relation to toxicity levels, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and service utilization. METHODS A randomized, controlled trial was carried out with 164

Cascade therapy with doxorubicin and survivin-targeted tailored nanoparticles: An effective alternative for sensitization of cancer cells to chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chemotherapy frequently involves combination treatment protocols to maximize tumor cell killing. Unfortunately these intensive chemotherapeutic regimes, often show disappointing results due to the development of drug resistance and higher nonspecific toxicity on normal tissues. In cancer treatment,

Clinical correlates of 'BRCAness' in triple-negative breast cancer of patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND We have previously reported an array comparative genomic hybridization profile that identifies triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), with BRCA1 dysfunction and a high sensitivity to intensified dose bifunctional alkylating agents. To determine the effect of conventional-dose chemotherapy

The Role of Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase and Thymidylate Synthase Polymorphisms in Fluoropyrimidine-Based Cancer Chemotherapy in an Iranian Population

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: The fluoropyrimidine drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and the prodrug capecitabine have been extensively used for treatment of many types of cancer including colorectal, gastric, head and neck. Approximately, 10 to 25% of patients

Comparison of irinotecan/platinum versus etoposide/platinum chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum (IP) and etoposide/platinum (EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of
