Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy Yields Superior Outcomes Compared to Laparoscopic Technique: A Single Surgeon Experience of 123 Consecutive Cases.
(MDPI, 2023-11-20)Technical limitations of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP), in comparison to robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP), may translate to high conversion rates and morbidity. LDP and RDP procedures performed between December ... -
Robotic versus freehand CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases: a comparative cohort study.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2023-04-18)PURPOSE: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a curative treatment option for small lung metastases, which conventionally involves multiple freehand manipulations until the treating electrode is satisfactorily positioned. ... -
The role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in altering signal transduction and drug resistance in KRAS mutated cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-01-04)KRAS is commonly mutated in solid tumours but effective treatment is limited due to resistance. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key tumour microenvironment component but how it interacts with KRAS mutant-cancer ... -
Ruxolitinib Versus Best Available Therapy for Polycythemia Vera Intolerant or Resistant to Hydroxycarbamide in a Randomized Trial.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2023-07-01)PURPOSE: Polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by JAK/STAT activation, thrombotic/hemorrhagic events, systemic symptoms, and disease transformation. In high-risk PV, ruxolitinib controls blood counts and improves symptoms. ... -
Safety and anti-tumour activity of the IgE antibody MOv18 in patients with advanced solid tumours expressing folate receptor-alpha: a phase I trial.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-07-25)All antibodies approved for cancer therapy are monoclonal IgGs but the biology of IgE, supported by comparative preclinical data, offers the potential for enhanced effector cell potency. Here we report a Phase I dose ... -
Safety and efficacy of durvalumab with R-CHOP or R<sup>2</sup>-CHOP in untreated, high-risk DLBCL: a phase 2, open-label trial.
(2021-11-19)Patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have poor outcomes following first-line cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, and rituximab (R-CHOP). Evidence shows chemotherapy and immune ... -
Safety and efficacy of Pazopanib in advanced soft tissue sarcoma: PALETTE (EORTC 62072) subgroup analyses.
(2019-08-13)Background PALETTE is a phase 3 trial that demonstrated single-agent activity of pazopanib in advanced soft tissue sarcomas (aSTS). We performed retrospective subgroup analyses to explore potential relationships between ... -
Safety Profile of Ipatasertib Plus Abiraterone vs Placebo Plus Abiraterone in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2023-04-01)PURPOSE: Adding ipatasertib to abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with PTEN-loss ... -
Safety Profile of Nivolumab Monotherapy: A Pooled Analysis of Patients With Advanced Melanoma.
(2017-03)Purpose We conducted a retrospective analysis to assess the safety profile of nivolumab monotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma and describe the management of adverse events (AEs) using established safety guidelines. ... -
Safety, efficacy and survival of patients with primary malignant brain tumours (PMBT) in phase I (Ph1) trials: the 12-year Royal Marsden experience.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)BACKGROUND: Primary malignant brain tumours (PMBT) constitute less than 2% of all malignancies and carry a dismal prognosis. Treatment options at relapse are limited. First-in-human solid tumour studies have historically ... -
