Dysregulation of Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger isoform one (NHE1) activity is a hallmark of cells undergoing tumorigenesis and metastasis, the leading cause of patient mortality. The acidic tumor microenvironment is thought to facilitate the development of resistance to chemotherapy drugs and to promote
Bisphosphonates are well established in the management of breast-cancer-induced bone disease. Recent studies have suggested that these compounds are effective in preventing the development of bone metastases. However, it is unclear whether this reflects an indirect effect via an inhibition of bone
BACKGROUND
The luminal A subtype of breast cancer has a good prognosis and is sensitive to endocrine therapy but is less sensitive to chemotherapy. It is necessary to identify biomarkers to predict chemosensitivity and avoid over-treatment. We hypothesized that miRNAs in the serum might be
To associate paclitaxel (PTX) with doxorubicin (DXR) is one of the main chemotherapy strategies for breast cancer (BC) management. Despite the high response rates for this combination, it presents a cardiotoxic synergism, attributed to pharmacokinetic interactions between PTX and both DXR and its
BACKGROUND
Paclitaxel and gemcitabine (PG) combination chemotherapy is effective as a maintenance chemotherapeutic regimen in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients because it increases progression-free survival (PFS), which increases overall survival (OS). The primary purpose of our study was to
Among chemotherapeutic agents, paclitaxel has shown great efficacy against breast cancer. Prediction of paclitaxel response may improve patient outcomes. Here we show, using exome sequencing, that in comparison with pre-treatment biopsies, two TEKT4 germline variations are enriched in post-treatment
We conducted an exploratory biomarker study from a phase II clinical trial of eribulin plus gemcitabine (EG) versus paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (PG) in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC) patients.We performed targeted deep sequencing with a Neuropathic pain (NP) remains difficult to control for a significant number of patients with cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) has been postulated as an initial stage in the development of NP. To assess whether CIPN (defined as National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity
A single high-dose cycle of chemotherapy can produce response rates in excess of 50%. However, disease-free survival (DFS) is 15-20% at 5 years. The single most important predictor of prolonged DFS is achieving a complete response (CR). Increasing the proportion of patients who achieve a complete
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant 3-weekly paclitaxel plus trastuzumab (TH) in Chinese women with Her-2 overexpressing operable breast cancer.
METHODS
This is a single center open-label phase II clinical trial. The included patients underwent 4 cycles of neoadjuvant 3-weekly
BACKGROUND
Adding taxanes to adjuvant antracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC) in combination may provide significant improvement in node-positive and high risk node-negative breast cancer (BC) patients. However, the optimal dose and the role of dose-dense (DD) chemotherapy have yet to be determined.
BACKGROUND
The objectives of this phase III trial were to compare the time to progressive disease (TtPD), overall response rate (ORR), overall survival, and toxicity of gemcitabine, epirubicin, and paclitaxel (GET) versus fluorouracil (FU), epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC) as first-line
We showed previously that a sequential treatment with doxorubicin (4 hr) followed by paclitaxel (24 hr) (Dox-->Pacl) induces a synergistic cytotoxic effect in the BRC-230 breast cancer cell line and in human primary breast cancer cultures. The validity of this experimental finding was confirmed in a
A 69-year-old woman noticed a tumor of the right breast, and presented to our hospital with dysphagia. A tumor of size 10 cm exposed to the skin and swollen axillary lymph node were observed. She was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, luminal-B by core-needle biopsy. CT scan revealed primary
Our Phase II study results demonstrating high efficacy and low toxicity for a weekly schedule of high-dose 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (HD5-FU/FA) in intensively pretreated metastatic breast cancer prompted addition of paclitaxel to this regimen in a phase I/II study in outpatients.
METHODS
Patients
