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 ...
Treatment and prognosis of leptomeningeal disease secondary to metastatic breast cancer: A single-centre experience.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2017-12-01)
PURPOSE: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is an uncommon complication of advanced breast cancer. The prognosis is poor, and although radiotherapy (RT), systemic and intra-thecal (IT) chemotherapy are accepted treatment modalities, ...
Clinical Outcome of Patients with Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer in a Dedicated Phase I Unit.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-03-01)
AIMS: Advanced biliary tract carcinomas (ABC) are malignancies with limited effective therapies for advanced disease. There is little published evidence of outcomes of ABC patients participating in phase I clinical trials. ...
Adjuvant Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab in Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2017-07-13)
BACKGROUND: Pertuzumab increases the rate of pathological complete response in the preoperative context and increases overall survival among patients with metastatic disease when it is added to trastuzumab and chemotherapy ...
KRAS and BRAF mutations in circulating tumour DNA from locally advanced rectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-23)
There are limited data on circulating, cell-free, tumour (ct)DNA analysis in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Digital droplet (dd)PCR was used to investigate KRAS/BRAF mutations in ctDNA from baseline blood samples ...
A phase 1 and randomized controlled phase 2 trial of the safety and efficacy of the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel with ontuxizumab (MORAb-004) in metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas.
(WILEY, 2019-07-15)
BACKGROUND: Ontuxizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, targets endosialin (tumor endothelial marker 1 [TEM-1] or CD248), which is expressed on sarcoma cells and is believed to be involved in tumor angiogenesis. This is ...
Outcomes for transformed follicular lymphoma in the rituximab era: the Royal Marsden experience 2003-2013.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-08-01)
Survival for transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL) has improved in the rituximab era and the need for upfront stem cell transplantation (SCT) is unclear. We evaluated the outcomes for all patients treated with first-line ...
Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with advanced mesothelioma treated in a phase I clinical trials unit.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-04-01)
BACKGROUND: We have previously reported a prognostic score for patients in phase I trials in the Drug Development Unit, treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital (RPS). The RPS is an objective tool used in patient selection ...
Vessel co-option mediates resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy in liver metastases.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-11-01)
The efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitors in cancer is limited by resistance mechanisms that are poorly understood. Notably, instead of through the induction of angiogenesis, tumor vascularization can occur through the ...
