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
BACKGROUND
There is currently no standard treatment for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) whose disease progresses after docetaxel-based chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the anticancer activity and tolerance of the carboplatin-etoposide
Among new patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), 20% to 25% are over 70 years of age and account for 8,000 cases annually in the United States. For such patients, intensive, aggressive, cytotoxic, combination chemotherapy is not often used because of its association with unacceptable morbidity
BACKGROUND
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is more sensitive to anticancer agents than non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but few studies have analyzed the mechanisms of natural drug resistance responsible for this difference.
OBJECTIVE
To elucidate these mechanisms, we determined drug sensitivity
Herein we report promoted anti-cancer activity via a combination strategy of synergistic chemotherapy/retinoid-based breast cancer therapy with shell-stabilized micellar green nanomedicine. Amphiphilic zein-chondroitin sulfate (ChS)-based copolymeric micelles (PMs) were successfully developed via
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is involved in the correction of base/base mismatches and insertion/deletion loops arising during replication. In addition, some of the MMR components participate in recombination and double-strand break repair as well as cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. The
Expression of p53-target gene EI24/PIG8 is lost in invasive breast cancers, suggesting that EI24/PIG8 is a tumor suppressor that prevents tumor spreading, and partially mediates p53-attributed tumor suppressor activity. EI24/PIG8 also has pro-apoptotic activity indicating that loss of EI24/PIG8 may
A phase I study was conducted to define the maximally tolerated dose and toxicity profile of the ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide/paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) (ICE-T) regimen in advanced lung cancer. This chemotherapy program uses paclitaxel given as a 24-hour
OBJECTIVE
To explore in vitro interactions of paclitaxel with other agents also active against non-small cell lung cancer in the hope of identifying promising combinations for clinical evaluation.
METHODS
We measured the cytotoxic effects of paclitaxel when used alone or in combination with
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel and cisplatin administered in combination with bleomycin and etoposide and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) in patients with advanced solid tumours.
METHODS
Patients were recruited to a phase I trial where escalating doses of
A 27-year-old man visited our hospital with painless swelling of the left scrotum. Hematologic studies showed the following levels of lactate dehydrogenase, 3,171 IU/l ; alpha-fetoprotein, 2.2 ng/ml ; and β- human chorionic gonadotropin, 0.4 ng/ml, and abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass
Cellular resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is attributable to several mechanisms, including alteration of topoisomerase IIa gene expression. Our previous studies have shown that transient transfection with a vector containing either Drosophila or human topoisomerase IIalpha gene into
During the past two decades, dramatic strides have been made in the treatment of metastatic testicular cancer. In the early 1970s, cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB) produced durable complete remissions (CR) in approximately 70% of treated patients. In the early 1980s, etoposide emerged as
Etoposide has modest single-agent activity (21% partial response rate) in patients with previously untreated metastatic gastric carcinoma. The use of etoposide in combination with agents like doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil with or without leucovorin has been of increasing interest to
To compare etoposide and etoposide phosphate (Etopophos; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) in maximizing the cost efficiency of care for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), we obtained pharmacoeconomic data from a phase II randomized study of these agents. This clinical
