paclitaxel/obesity

Despite in vivo studies suggesting that obesity increases carboplatin (CBDCA) bone marrow toxicity, the American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends that full weight-based cytotoxic chemotherapy doses be used to treat obese patients with cancer. Accordingly, the present study retrospectively

We retrospectively analyzed overdosing-related toxicity and prognosis in 127 women with lung cancer receiving carboplatin (6AUC) estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula using actual body weight and paclitaxel (200 mg/m(2)). Between the body mass index (BMI) > 25 group (n = 42) and the BMI ≤ 25

OBJECTIVE Obesity is an increasing health problem that is reported to influence chemotherapy dosing. The extent to which this occurs and whether this affects outcomes in ovarian cancer was unclear. To describe chemotherapy dosing practices in normal, overweight and obese patients treated for FIGO

Paclitaxel is one of the most effective and widely used agents in treating a variety of cancers, including endometrial cancer. Because of its poor solubility in water, the current intravenous pharmaceutical paclitaxel is formulated in Cremophor EL and dehydrated in ethanol in equal volumes.

This study was performed to compare the safety and efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PESs) on the outcomes of diabetic patients. Recent data with drug-eluting stents have shown improved clinical outcomes in diabetic patients. This study compared outcomes

OBJECTIVE Various active stent coatings significantly reduce restenosis rates and target lesion revascularization compared to bare metal stents. Therefore, the procedural and 6-month performance of the new paclitaxel-eluting Coroflex. Please stent was investigated. METHODS Ninety-seven patients (66

The effect of obesity on repeat coronary revascularization and restenosis in patients who undergo stent implantation has not been reported. We therefore examined the database from the multicenter randomized TAXUS-IV trial to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes after bare-metal

A 39-year-old woman with very sever obesity was admitted to our hospital for a right breast redness and hardness. Her height, weight and BMI were 166 cm, 145 kg and 52.6 kg/m2. Her breast had peau d'orange. CT scan showed swelling of whole right breast and Level I , II lymph node. We performed core

OBJECTIVE To examine the available trials evaluating the effect of obesity on the pharmacokinetic parameters of chemotherapy agents. METHODS A PubMed search (January 1977-June 2013) was conducted for English-language articles evaluating obesity and its relationship to pharmacokinetic parameters of

OBJECTIVE Despite the rising prevalence of obesity, there is paucity of information describing how doses of anticancer drugs should be adjusted in clinical practice. Here, we assessed the pharmacokinetics of eight anticancer drugs in adults and evaluated the potential utility of alternative weight

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes among unselected patients stratified in categories of body mass index, who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with either sirolimus-eluting or paclitaxel-eluting stents. BACKGROUND Overweight and obesity are often

OBJECTIVE A few previous studies report a direct relationship between older age and chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. This study further evaluated this adverse event's age-based risk. METHODS CALGB 40101 investigated adjuvant paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 once per week or 175 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) in patients

The American Society of Clinical Oncology provides clinical practice guidelines for appropriate cytotoxic chemotherapy dosing for obese adult patients with cancer. The panel recommends that actual body weight should be used when selecting cytotoxic chemotherapy doses regardless of obesity status.

BACKGROUND Carboplatin dosing for gynecologic malignancies is traditionally based on the Jelliffe formula that lacks dose adjustment for weight. Obese women may therefore receive a sub-therapeutic carboplatin dose. This study assessed the association between BMI and outcome for ovarian cancer
