Background and purpose:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5th most common cancer in the world and the 3rd most prevalent cause of tumor-related deaths. Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) occurs in up to 44% of HCC patients at the time of death and approximately 10-40% of patients at time of
According to worldwide study of prevalence of myeloproliferative neoplasms revealed:
Incidence of polycythemia vera ranged 0.01 to 2.61 per 100.000 population and the prevalence ranging from 0.49 to 46.88 per 100.000 population. Incidence of essential thrombocythemia is 0.21 to 2.27 per 100.000
All of the included patients underwent: (1) A complete clinical evaluation; (2) Laboratory investigations: CBC, liver profile, viral markers (HBs Ag, HB core Ab, HCV Ab) using the ELISA technique; (3) Thrombophilia workup to clarify the underlying etiology of vascular liver disease. It was done only
Sunitinib is an oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRs) and c-kit. Sunitinib was the first TKI to be approved for the first-line treatment of advanced kidney cancer on the
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.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To select a dose of Dalteparin to be used with Lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in future trials for patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM), based on toxicity, selected biomarkers (M-spike, interleukin [IL]-6) related to response and other markers of
Chronic myeloid neoplasms (CMPN) consists of three main entities, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). These three disorders have many overlapping clinical features. The diseases are clonal stem cell disorders characterized by a chronic excess
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
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are clonal hematologic diseases characterized by the excess production of one or more lineages of mature blood cells, a predisposition to bleeding and thrombotic complications, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and a variable progression to acute leukemia. The
The Study Drugs:
Methotrexate is designed to disrupt cells from making and repairing DNA (the genetic material of cells) and "copying" themselves.
Vincristine is designed to interfere with the multiplication of cancer cells, which may slow or stop their growth and spread throughout the body. This
RISK CLASSIFICATION:
Patients received were classified into initial risk groups defined as:
High Risk (HR) High risk patients had any of the following features: age 10 years and older, a white blood cell count of 50 000 cells per μL or higher, initial spinal fluid sample with the presence of
