OBJECTIVE
We investigated the relative effects of fatigue, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness on prognosis at 2-year follow-up in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients.
METHODS
Consecutively admitted PCI patients (n=534) treated with paclitaxel-eluting stent as the default strategy
Following the recent introduction of a stronger regimen for pancreatic carcinoma, patients undergoing chemotherapy present high incidences of fatigue. The feasibility and validity of evaluating fatigue by questionnaire for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer (URPC) receiving this recent
Background: Ninjin'yoeito, a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, is used to prevent fatigue, loss of appetite, and coldness of limbs. Fatigue is an especially common issue during chemotherapy and can affect quality of life and
BACKGROUND
There is preclinical synergism between taxanes and MK-2206. We aim to determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and activity of combining MK-2206 and paclitaxel in metastatic cancer.
METHODS
Patients received weekly doses of paclitaxel at 80mg/m2 on day 1, followed by MK-2206 orally
OBJECTIVE
This phase II study evaluated the safety and clinical activity of pazopanib, a potent and mutlitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs)-1, -2 and -3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-α and β, and cKit, in combination
OBJECTIVE
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), toxicities, and suitable dose for weekly 1-h paclitaxel combined with weekly cisplatin and irinotecan to treat advanced gastrointestinal malignancies.
METHODS
Thirty patients with metastatic or locally advanced (unresectable or recurrent)
This multicenter phase 2 study assessed the combination of estramustine and weekly paclitaxel with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
We enrolled 77 patients who had received no prior chemotherapy for CRPC between 1998 and 2000; a total of 74 subjects were eligible for the
BACKGROUND.: The objective of this study was to determine the toxicity of cisplatin-based intraperitoneal (IP)/intravenous (IV) treatment using a modified version of the IP/IV arm of GOG 172. METHODS.: Patients with stage IC-IV and recurrent ovarian cancer were treated with D1 paclitaxel (IV at 135
BACKGROUND
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) and nedaplatin (NDP) are used for the treatment of patients with cervical cancer. However, to the authors' knowledge, the use of this combination regimen among patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer has
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine whether addition of the synthetic rexinoid bexarotene (Targretin; Eisai Inc, Woodcliff Lake, NJ) to standard first-line carboplatin and paclitaxel therapy provides additional survival benefit in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
UNASSIGNED
Cixutumumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody to the insulin-like growth factor type I receptor that can potentially reverse resistance and enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy.
UNASSIGNED
Bevacizumab-eligible patients with stage IV or recurrent non-squamous, non-small-cell lung
OBJECTIVE
This study compared disease-free survival (DFS) obtained with two different regimens of adjuvant therapy in high-risk breast cancer.
METHODS
Women (who had performance status [PS] of 0 to 1) with operable, histologically confirmed, stage I to III adenocarcinoma of the breast were eligible.
BACKGROUND
Advanced esophageal cancer is aggressive with an expected median survival of 6-7 months. Combination chemotherapy regimens provide effective palliation, but result in substantial toxicity.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients with advanced esophageal
BACKGROUND
Patients treated with standard chemotherapy for metastatic or relapsed cervical cancer respond poorly to conventional chemotherapy (response achieved in 20-30% of patients) with an overall survival of less than 1 year. High tumour angiogenesis and high concentrations of intratumoural VEGF
BACKGROUND
No standard treatment options are available for patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic vulvar carcinoma not amenable for locoregional treatment.
METHODS
In this phase II study, patients with advanced vulvar cancer received paclitaxel (Taxol) every 3 weeks for up to 10 cycles.
