pancreatic neoplasms/tyrosine

Introduction: Pancreatic metastases are a rare entity and often synonymous with broader dissemination. However, in cases of metastatic renal carcinoma (RCC) it can present as isolated pancreatic metastasis, considering the possibility of surgical resection. Most of the literature refers to isolated

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is a solid cancer with a very poor prognosis with overall survival, all stages combined, not exceeding 5% at 5 years. The incidence and number of deaths caused by this type of tumor have been steadily increasing for two decades. In the absence of therapeutic advances,

This is a single arm, open label, dose escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety and preliminary therapeutic efficacy of CCT301-59 T cells in adult subjects with relapsed and refractory stage IV metastatic solid tumors (soft tissue sarcoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with

Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is rare in the Europe and the United States, but not uncommon in Asia and Latin America. The tumor arises from the ductular epithelium of the biliary tree within the liver (intrahepatic), the extrahepatic ducts (extrahepatic), or the gallbladder. Intrahepatic cancer is

Antitumor effect of pemetrexed is already proven lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma and has been used as a standard therapeutic agent. In addition, this drug does not have severe side effects, pemetrexed is thought to be an important option for patients with poor performance

Background: - Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood. The annual incidence in the United States is 4-7 cases per million children under 15 years, which represents 250 new cases per year. Two major histologic subtypes exist: embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains an almost uniformly lethal disease. Although there has been significant progress in understanding of the underlying molecular biology of pancreatic cancer, this progress has not translated into substantially better treatments. Alarmingly, the number of

Erlotinib Advances in the knowledge of tumor biology and mechanisms of oncogenesis has granted the singling out of several molecular targets for NSCLC treatment. Among these targets, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), or HER1, has received particular attention in lung cancer treatment. EGFR is

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) constitutes 3 percent of all malignancies and is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide. There will be an estimated 38,000 new cases and 11,000 deaths in the United States in 2004 and approximately 500,000 cases worldwide yearly [1]. Squamous cell

Open, uncontrolled, multicenter, phase II study This study will enroll previous chemo-naïve patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Study regimen: - Erlotinib 100 mg po qd daily AND - Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² with 150mL of normal saline intravenously infusion over

In this phase II randomized, placebo controlled study, patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer will be randomized to treatment with gemcitabine, erlotinib and metformin, or gemcitabine, erlotinib and placebo. Gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 (iv, 30 minutes) will be given

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women worldwide (1). In 2007, 213,380 new cases of lung cancer were registered; from these cases, 160,390 deaths were reported. This number represents 15% of the total cases and 29% of cancer-related deaths in the
