Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer worldwide, with around 429.800 new cases diagnosed in 2012 and the 5th most common cancer in Europe, with more than 151.000 new cases diagnosed in 2012. Relating mortality figures, bladder cancer is the 13th most common cause of cancer death worldwide,
The recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the main problem during the treatment. Although some methods such as interferon may be effective in preventing the recurrence, there is still no clear effective approach widely accepted for everyone.
Sorafenib, a kind of tyrosine kinase inhibitor,
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. A report published by the WHO in February 2014, estimated there were 1.83 million new cases and 1.59 million deaths worldwide in 2012. The American Lung Association reports 399,431 Americans living with lung cancer, with an
The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). PV and ET can evolve into myelofibrosis, termed post PV/ET MF.
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and most malignant primary brain tumor, represents a major medical challenge considering its extremely poor prognosis (Wen 2008). Current standard of care includes maximal surgical resection, followed by concomitant radio-chemotherapy (temozolomide - TMZ) (RT-CT)
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal disorder characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(9;22) which produces a fusion gene encoding the chimeric oncoprotein, BCR- ABL. This protein harbors a deregulated constitutive activated tyrosine kinase (TK) leading to leukemogenesis [1].

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the efficacy of eltrombopag (eltrombopag olamine) for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or myelofibrosis (MF) who have developed thrombocytopenia during the course of therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) as measured by recovery of platelet
Rationale for treatment of uveal melanoma with sorafenib Improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of cancers has led to a new generation of therapeutic agents that interfere with a specific pathway critical in tumor development or progression. Although no specific genes have been linked
The clinical management of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging. Initial therapies for advanced NSCLC with platinum-based regimens have shown consistent overall response rates of 30% to 40% with progression-free intervals of 4-5 months and 1-year survival rates of 35% to
Patients must have histologically documented or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of acute myelocytic leukemia refractory to standard induction treatment, or relapsed after standard therapy; acute lymphocytic leukemia refractory to induction treatment, or relapsed after effective therapy; chronic
PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS A. TITLE: An Open-Label Phase II Study of the Efficacy of Combination Bortezomib-containing Regimens in the Treatment of newly diagnosed patients with t (4;14) positive Multiple Myeloma.
B. RATIONALE: Between 15 and 20% of myeloma patients exhibit a t(4;14), which results in
IL-11 is a hormone normally produced in your body that plays a role in stimulating the production of platelets.
Before you can start treatment on this study, you will have what are called "screening tests". These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in the study. You
Background:
- Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) is a rare but lethal Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) associated lymphoproliferative disorder with a median survival of 2 years. It occurs more often in HIV-infected individuals than those without HIV infection. The poor prognosis is
