I. To estimate the safety and tolerability (adverse event rate) of the combination of palbociclib and letrozole or fulvestrant in adults age 70 or older with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the full toxicity
Dengue fever has various levels of severity, from mild disease to severe hemorrhagic complications and shock. Dengue is endemic world-wide and has been found in the United States. The mortality from dengue fever can be as high as 15-20%, with nearly 22,000 deaths annually, most of them children
The goal of personalized medicine is to tailor therapies to an individual patient with a goal of maximizing benefit and minimizing treatment related side effects. Inter-individual variability in metabolic enzymes can have a significant impact on cancer therapies. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) studies the
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic, relapsing and remitting, inflammatory disorder of the GI tract. The mainstay of medical therapy is comprised of 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators such as mercaptopurine and MTX, and biologics such as infliximab and
In Mexico, cervical cancer (CC) is the second most frequent cause of death among women, with a mortality rate of 4000 women/year. Among the patients attended by the INCan, 80% are diagnosed with locally advanced CC and 30% of these present comorbidities. Hypertension may be present in 20% of
Background Therapeutic Information In ovarian cancer, several single agent phase II trials of vinorelbine in recurrent OC have shown variable response rates of 3 - 30%. However, previous studies have involved "all-comers" and no reported trials have selected patients based on confirmed pure HGSOC or
The active metabolite of SGI-110 (2'-deoxy-5-azacytidylyl-(3'→5')-2'-deoxyguanosine sodium salt), a dinucleotide, is decitabine, an FDA-approved agent for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. SGI-110 is resistant to modification by cytidine deaminase, a common pathway of decitabine metabolism
In Mexico, cervical cancer (CC) is the second most frequent cause of death among women, with a mortality rate of 4000 women/year. Concerning the treatment of these patients, there is evidence about the benefit of addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced CC, with an
