BACKGROUND The burden of Lung Cancer Lung cancer remains the most lethal malignancy worldwide, claiming more lives compared to any other malignant disease in both developed and developing countries, as well as globally. Although some countries have accomplished a decrease in incidence rates, most

INTRODUCTION Background Children Cancer in Pakistan: Millions of people are affected by cancer worldwide. Cancer is one of the major health problems in Pakistan . About 8,000 children below 18 year were diagnosed with cancer annually. Most children diagnosed in advance stage . In Pakistan 31%

This study was a single-arm, open-label, dose escalation phase 1 trial to determine the RP2Ds of AR-42 and pazopanib when given in combination to patients with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) or Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). Eligible patients had recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic RCC or STS

Pazopanib (Votrient) is a multi targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, (VEGFR-1, -2 en -3), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR-α and -β), and stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT). Pazopanib is registered for the treatment of patients with advanced

Disease background: MM is a plasma cell tumor. It accounted for an estimated 20,180 new cases of cancer and 11,170 deaths in the United States in 2010. With a prevalence of 23 per 100,000 people, MM is an orphan disease (prevalence <5:10,000). The median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years. Although MM

Treatment setting:Hospitalization is preferred, but treatment on the outpatient base is allowed. Regimen and premedication 1. Regimen Docetaxel 100 mg/m2 mixed in D5W or N/S IV over 60 min: Day 1 Irinotecan 80 mg/m2 mixed in D5W IV over 90 min: Days 1 and 8 2. Premedications Dexamethasone 3 mg/m2 PO

Although the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART) may have greatly decreased the incidence of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) in resource rich settings, KS continues to be the most prevalent AIDS-defining malignancy in the world and carries with it significant morbidity and mortality[1]. Indeed, in a recent

The Study Drugs: Irinotecan is designed to stop cancer cells from making new DNA (the genetic material of cells). This may cause cancer cells to die. Bevacizumab is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients necessary for

Perifosine is an oral anticancer agent with limited toxicity and a novel mechanism of action that is distinctly different from cytotoxic chemotherapies. It has been shown to inhibit and otherwise modify signaling through a number of pathways including Akt, p21, and JNK. Perifosine has been tested in

Purpose. Although the prevalence of weight loss in HIV-infected individuals has decreased in the developed world with the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy, it continues to be a significant problem worldwide, and in the USA. The pathophysiology of weight loss in HIV-infected
