Background Worldwide, lung cancer stands as a leading cause of mortality, with EGFR-mutated metastatic non-small cell (NSCLC) accounting for large percentage cases in the Indian population. Different generations EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are available to treat NSCLC. The purpose our research was evaluate and compare superiority osimertinib over gefitinib/erlotinib terms clinical effectiveness safety. Methods A retrospective observational cohort study conducted at Clinical...

Abstract Lorlatinib is approved in India for patients with previously treated anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)–positive advanced or recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Owing to the limited number of Indian phase I/II and III studies, a postapproval study was conducted report safety efficacy lorlatinib this patient population. In IV study, unresectable and/or ALK-positive NSCLC resistant intolerant ≥1 prior ALK inhibitor were lorlatinib. The primary endpoint investigator-assessed...

Background: The organ supply shortage continues to be a public health care crisis, with nearly 20 people dying each day awaiting transplantation. Inability obtain consent remains one of the major obstacles converting potential donors into donors. We hypothesize that presence in-house coordinators (IHCs) from procurement organizations (OPOs) will improve donor conversion rates. Methods: This retrospective review analyzed effect an IHC program on donation outcome. Referrals for possible three...

Background: A persistent shortage of organs and inexhaustible waiting lists continue to result in many people dying while awaiting transplantation. On July 1, 2006, the California Department Motor Vehicles joined forces with California's Online Organ Tissue Registry launched a campaign increase donation rates. This included intense public media education. The efficacy such on donor demographics has not been studied. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted organ referrals donations from...

Abstract Breast cancer is a public health challenge globally as well in India. Improving outcome and cure requires appropriate biomarker testing to assign risk plan treatment. Because it documented that significant ethnic geographical variations biological genetic features exist worldwide, such biomarkers need be validated approved by authorities the region where these are intended used. The use of western guidelines, for Caucasian population, can lead inappropriate overtreatment or...

Abstract Introduction: Efatutazone is a potent, highly selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist active in preclinical cancer models, including NSCLC. In phase 1 studies, efatutazone showed anticancer activity and manageable safety profile. An vitro study combining PPARγ an epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), similar to erlotinib, increase the antiproliferative effects of EGFR-TKI NSCLC cells (Lee et al. Lung Cancer. 2006). This...
