irinotecan/悪性腫瘍

This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum (IP) and etoposide/platinum (EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of

Irinotecan is a widely used topoisomerase-I-inhibitor with a very narrow therapeutic window because of its severe toxicity. In the current study we have examined the effects of fasting prior to irinotecan treatment on toxicity and anti-tumor activity. FabplCre;Apc(15lox/+) mice, which spontaneously

OBJECTIVE To evaluate three technologies for the management of advanced colorectal cancer: (1) first-line irinotecan combination [with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)] or second-line monotherapy; (2) first- or second-line oxaliplatin combination (again, with 5-FU); and (3) raltitrexed, where 5-FU is

OBJECTIVE To assess the rate of R(0) resection of liver metastases achieved after chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX. METHODS Patients with histologically proven primary colorectal cancer and bidimensionally measurable liver metastasis, not fully resectable based on technical inability to achieve R(0)

We report a case of a patient affected by epidermoid anal cancer who had hepatic progression after standard therapy with the Nigro regimen (fluorouracil and mitomycin C plus radiotherapy). This is an uncommon neoplasm against which only few chemotherapeutic agents have been tested. In our patient

Current chemotherapy for lung cancer achieved limited efficacy due to poor tumor targeting and tissue penetration. Another obstacle in the therapy is activated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in tumor cells, which plays a crucial role in promotion of anti-apoptosis and drug resistance. In this study, we

Until recently, the use of Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC) as selective modulator of the antitumor activity and selectivity of anticancer drugs including irinotecan, a topoisomerase I poison, had not been evaluated. Therapeutic synergy between MSC and irinotecan was demonstrated by our laboratory in

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)

OBJECTIVE Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been shown to be expressed in a variety of tumors including pancreatic cancer. The combination of gemcitabine and irinotecan is active in pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the toxicity and response rate to the addition of the

OBJECTIVE IHL-305 is a novel PEGylated liposome containing irinotecan. This study examined the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of IHL-305 and established the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose (RP2D). METHODS In a standard 3 + 3 design, IHL-305 was administered IV on day 1 of a

The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCC4 (multidrug resistance protein 4, MRP4) mRNA level is a strong predictor of poor clinical outcome in neuroblastoma which may relate to its export of endogenous signalling molecules and chemotherapeutic agents. We sought to determine whether ABCC4 contributes

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of irinotecan (CPT-11) in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in both chemotherapy-naive and pretreated patients. METHODS Two hundred thirteen patients (aged 18 to 75 years) with metastatic colorectal cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) performance status

BACKGROUND The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) with multiple promoter methylated loci has been observed in a subset of human colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. CIMP status, which is closely associated with specific clinicopathological and molecular characteristics, is considered a potential

The study aim was to compare European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria with PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) for response evaluation of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with a combination of the chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan and
