Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is distinct from other cancers of the head and neck in biology, epidemiology, histology, natural history, response to treatment. Radiation therapy an essential component curative-intent non-disseminated disease association chemotherapy improves rates survival. In case metastatic stages, treatment requires platinum/gemcitabine-based patients may achieve a long survival time.
Background: Anti-epithermal-growth-factor-receptor (EGFR) therapies in combination with radiotherapy are being studied on de-escalation clinical trials for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients. The HPV16-E5 oncoprotein increases recycling of activated EGFR to the cell surface, enhancing factor signal transduction. Our aim was evaluate viral oncogene expression as well and phosphorylated-EGFR (pEGFR), protein levels biomarkers outcome a retrospective cohort OPC Methods:...
Durvalumab, a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1) molecules, is increasingly used in advanced neoplasias. Durvalumab use associated increased immune-related adverse events. We report case 55-year-old man who presented to our emergency room hyperglycaemia after receiving durvalumab for urothelial high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. On presentation, he had polyuria,...
The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer is increasing in some regions. Nevertheless, the epidemiology this disease has not been extensively investigated southern Europe. We conducted a retrospective cohort study patients diagnosed with primary from 1991 to 2016. Cancer tissues underwent histopathological evaluation, DNA quality control, HPV-DNA detection and p16INK4a immunohistochemistry. Data were collected medical records. Factors associated HPV positivity...
15 Background: Docetaxel improves survival in patients (pts) with metastatic hormonosensitive prostate cancer (PC) and castration-resistant cancer. The objective of this phase IIb trial was to assess the activity low dose docetaxel concurrent radiotherapy plus standard hormonal treatment pts high risk localized CaP. Methods: High-risk CaP defined by ≥ 1 following criteria: T3-T4, Gleason score (GS) 8, PSA > 20 ng/mL, pN+. Pts were randomly assigned either arm A (LH-RH analogs every 3...
Background Given the different nature and better outcomes of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, a novel clinical stage classification for HPV-related OPC has been accepted 8th edition AJCC TNM (ICON-S model). However, it is still unclear HPV-relatedness definition best diagnostic accuracy prognostic value. Material methods The aim this study was to compare staging system models proposed patients: 7th TNM, RPA non-anatomic factors (Princess...
Abstract Background. The combination of gemcitabine plus capecitabine and sunitinib (GCS) shows activity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). We tested the multitargeted “chemo-switch” regimen as first-line treatment patients with mRCC. Methods. assessed maximum tolerated dose antitumor GCS treatment-naïve, advanced mRCC patients. Treatment consisted intravenous on days 1 8, oral twice daily 1–14, for six 21-day cycles, followed by monotherapy at investigator's discretion. Dose level 0...
TPS4591 Background: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is standard first line treatment for metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). However, around 50% of patients are ineligible cisplatin due to poor performance status or comorbidities. For these cases, carboplatin-based combinations valid alternative options, although they associated with inferior survival. Additional new strategies cisplatin-ineligible therefore urgently needed. Recently, excellent clinical activity has been reported immune...
e15095 Background: Gemcitabine (G) plus Capecitabine (C) have demonstrated a modest activity in metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients (pts). The combination of Sunitinib (S) and C resulted an acceptable safety profile pts with advanced solid tumors. We hypothesized that the addition S to G+C advanced/mRCC would be synergistic could increase therapeutic efficacy. Methods: This is open-label, phase I, dose-escalation study assess maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), antitumor (in terms...
