Erdafitinib in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2019-07-25)
BACKGROUND: Alterations in the gene encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) are common in urothelial carcinoma and may be associated with lower sensitivity to immune interventions. Erdafitinib, a tyrosine kinase ...
Nivolumab in Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: Efficacy and Safety in CheckMate 141 by Prior Cetuximab Use.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-09-01)
PURPOSE: Cetuximab, which modulates immune responses, may affect the efficacy of subsequent immunotherapy. Here, we assessed outcomes with nivolumab, by prior cetuximab exposure, in patients with recurrent or metastatic ...
Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis of the Value of Microsatellite Instability As a Biomarker in Gastric Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2019-12-10)
PURPOSE: In the CLASSIC and MAGIC trials, microsatellite instability (MSI)-high status was a favorable prognostic and potential negative predictive factor for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy in resectable gastric cancer ...
Efficacy and Cardiotoxic Safety Profile of Raltitrexed in Fluoropyrimidines-Pretreated or High-Risk Cardiac Patients With GI Malignancies: Large Single-Center Experience.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2019-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients may not be considered for therapy with fluoropyrimidines (FPs) because of previous cardiovascular (CV) toxicity or preexisting risk factors; such patients may benefit from ...
Second primary cancers in patients with acute lymphoblastic, chronic lymphocytic and hairy cell leukaemia.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Improvement of survival in lymphocytic leukaemia has been accompanied by the occurrence of second primary cancer (SPCs). Based on Swedish Family Cancer Database, we applied bi-directional analyses in which relative risks ...
Targeted deep sequencing of urothelial bladder cancers and associated urinary DNA: a 23-gene panel with utility for non-invasive diagnosis and risk stratification.
(WILEY, 2019-09-01)
OBJECTIVES: To develop a focused panel of somatic mutations (SMs) present in the majority of urothelial bladder cancers (UBCs), to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic utility of this panel, and to compare the ...
Health-related quality of life around the time of diagnosis in patients with bladder cancer.
(WILEY, 2019-12-01)
OBJECTIVES: To quantify the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with bladder cancer around the time of diagnosis and to test the hypotheses of a two-factor model for the HRQoL questionnaire QLQ-C30. METHODS: ...
A prospective observational study of on-treatment plasma homocysteine levels as a biomarker of toxicity, depression and vitamin supplementation lead-in time pre pemetrexed, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-11-25)
OBJECTIVES: Vitamin supplementation reduces pemetrexed toxicity. Raised plasma homocysteine reflects deficiency in vitamin B12 and folate, and is suppressed by supplementation. This observational study of 112 patients ...
Cabazitaxel versus Abiraterone or Enzalutamide in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2019-12-26)
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel, as compared with an androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were previously ...
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells orchestrate innate and adaptive anti-tumor immunity induced by oncolytic coxsackievirus A21.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-01)
BACKGROUND: The oncolytic virus, coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21), has shown promise as a single agent in several clinical trials and is now being tested in combination with immune checkpoint blockade. Combination therapies offer ...
