The occurring frequency of 14 most common chemotherapy and anti-nausea drug side-effects was examined. The studies were performed on 29 women with ovarian cancer treated by total number of 125 chemotherapy courses (schedule PAC and Acy) and additionally, in order to eliminate nausea caused by the
Thirty four patients who were receiving carboplatin 400 mg/m2 for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with ondansetron antiemetic prophylaxis. Ondansetron was given as 4 mg oral +4 mg iv 30 minutes prior to carboplatin followed by 8 mg oral tds for 5 days. Of the evaluable patients
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our department with headache and dizziness. About 8 months ago, she suffered from ovarian cancer disseminated in pleura and peritoneum, and was treated successfully with CAP therapy only (Cis-platin, Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide). Intracerebellar metastasis of
Ovarian cancer with solitary metastasis to the cerebellum is very rare. We presented a 58-year-old woman complaining of headaches 9 months after debulking surgery and chemotherapy due to ovarian cancer. The serum CA125 level was elevated. FDG PET/CT was then recommended to identify potential
Nine participants with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, who were human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A1, HLA-A2, or HLA-A3, were eligible to enroll in a phase 1 study designed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a peptide-based vaccine. Participants received 5
OBJECTIVE
Women with ovarian carcinoma that are treated with paclitaxel/carboplatin are particularly susceptible to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The current study evaluated the new combination (aprepitant/ramosetron/dexamethasone, 20 mg) in ovarian cancer patients receiving
OBJECTIVE
To define the optimal dose of recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) required to intensify the dose of carboplatin and cyclophosphamide for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
METHODS
Seventeen patients were treated on day 1 with carboplatin (dose adjusted for creatinine clearance:
To define the maximum tolerated dose and to study whether recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) reduced chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, 20 chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced ovarian cancer eligible for treatment with 6 cycles of carboplatin-cyclophosphamide every 4
Background: Stabilized mutant p53 protein (mutp53) is a novel target in epithelial ovarian cancer. Due to aberrant conformation, mutp53 proteins depend on folding support by the Hsp90 chaperone. Hsp90 blockade induces degradation of mutp53, resulting in tumor cell cytotoxicity and increased
BACKGROUND
Evidence that aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduce risk for colorectal cancer has prompted interest in their ability to prevent other cancers. We aimed to find out what effect over-the-counter analgesics have on risk of ovarian cancer.
METHODS
In a case-control
Objective. The goal of treating recurrent ovarian cancer is disease control while minimizing toxicity. Fulvestrant, a novel estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist, has proven clinically beneficial and well-tolerated in treating recurrent breast cancer. Ovarian cancer often expresses ER and may respond to
OBJECTIVE
Paraneoplastic neurological diseases (PND) are rare, but potentially treatable disorders. Paraneoplastic encephalitis is rapidly emerging as an important but likely under-recognized condition in children. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and spectrum of PND in children
The efficacy, safety, and optimum clinical dose of recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) was examined in ovarian cancer patients with thrombocytopenia after cancer chemotherapy. In cases with a platelet count < 75,000/mm3 during the control observation period, rhIL-3 was administered
The aim of the investigation was to assess 12 cases of brain recurrences among ovarian cancer patients who had undergone surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. Brain lesions were the first recurrence in 4 (33%) patients, the second recurrence in 7 (58%), and the fourth recurrence in one
OBJECTIVE
In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind trial we evaluated to what extent a dose-intensification of adjuvant chemotherapy is possible with the help of Interleukin-3 (rhIL-3).
METHODS
Following initial surgery, 12 patients with primary ovarian cancer have been treated
