In Brief Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate whether delayed surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) affects postoperative outcomes in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) the thoracic esophagus. Background: Esophagectomy is usually recommended within 4 6 weeks completion CRT. However, optimal timing not clearly defined. Methods: A total 129 consecutive esophageal cancer, treated between 1998 and 2007, were retrospectively analyzed using...
This randomized phase II trial was performed to define the activity and toxicity of combination dacarbazine (DTIC), carmustine (BCNU), cisplatin (DDP) tamoxifen (DBDT regimen) versus DTIC alone in patients with metastatic melanoma. Sixty melanoma were randomly assigned receive BCNU 150 mg/m2 intravenously (i.v.) on day 1, 25 i.v. daily days 1 3, 220 3 160 mg orally for 7 prior chemotherapy arm; arm A). Treatment cycles repeated every 28 days, while given two cycles. The (arm B) received 1200...
Abstract Purpose The role of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment small cancers has been established several clinical studies. Here, we report on efficacy PDT for early inoperable or recurrent non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and Materials From June 1989 to November 2004, 40 patients with 50 NSCLC were treated PDT. Twelve cases medical reasons staged as T1N0M0, 28 had situ carcinoma. Patients residual disease after received definitive radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy....
Introduction: Adverse effects of radiotherapy (RT) significantly affect patient's quality life (QOL). The possibility to identify patient-related factors that are associated with individual radiosensitivity would optimize adjuvant RT treatment, limiting the severity normal tissue reactions and improving QOL. In this study, we analyzed relationships between genetic features toxicity grading manifested by patients looking for possible biomarkers radiosensitivity. Methods: Early radiation was...
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness phototherapy with noncoherent light in alleviation chemotherapy-induced mucositis patients metastatic cancer. Background Data: Mucositis occurs more than 40% chemotherapy-treated patients, significantly reducing quality their lives. Many different interventions have been evaluated reduce oral mucositis. Recently, good results achieved by photoradiation, a technique which has virtually no side effects. Some seem...
This study was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of docetaxel, cisplatin fluorouracil combination in patients with unresectable locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment consisted docetaxel 60 mg m−2, 75 m−2 on day 1 750 day−1 days 2–5, repeated every 3 weeks for three cycles, followed by carboplatin 100 week−1 5 concurrent radiotherapy (45 Gy 25 fractions, week−1). After radiotherapy, eligible either underwent an oesophagectomy or received high dose rate...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects different wavelengths and doses laser radiation on in vitro cell proliferation. We evaluated biological low-level therapy (LLLT) two human cancer lines: HeLa (epithelial adenocarcinoma) TK6 (lymphoblast). Our attention focused combination emissions as it could have a synergic effect greater than single emission applied separately. Background Data: LLLT cells are still poorly understood unexplained. Several types were found non...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity and safety oxaliplatin/5-fluorouracil-based chemo-radiotherapy in patients with not radically resectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. Fifty-nine adeno or squamous-cell carcinoma received oxaliplatin (60 mg/m2), leucovorin (20 mg/m2 on days 1,8,15,29,36,43,50,57) followed by continuous infusion fluorouracil (200 per day 1–22 29–64) radiotherapy (1.8 Gy daily fractions a total dose 45 Gy, from 29 64). When feasible, surgery scheduled...
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in staging esophageal cancer and evaluate prognostic role metabolic parameters before after neo-adjuvant treatment.Mono-institutional retrospective study.We retrospectively evaluated 29 patients who underwent PET/CT at initial therapy. Metabolic were calculated: mean, average, maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG). Diagnostic advantages over...
Radiation retinopathy is a complication of the therapeutic irradiation orbital and periorbital structures. The authors studied two groups patients who had (group 1) 2) external irradiation. occurred in 63.6% group 1 36.3% 2. Retinal radiation damage showed different clinical evoluation groups, appearing earlier (mean, 11 versus 55 months) with greater involvement peripheral retina (with three cases neovascular glaucoma). This study demonstrates that occurs significant number when eye not...
Background: Neoplastic pericardial effusion (NPE) is a life-threatening condition that can worsen clinical outcome in cancer patients. The optimal management of NPE has yet to be defined because randomized studies are lacking. Objective: We report retrospective monoinstitutional experience describing characteristics, and prognostic factors Design: reviewed clinical, pathological, echocardiographic features, therapeutic strategies, patients referred our institute from August 2011 December...
