Current treatments and future perspectives in colorectal and gastric cancer.
Given the high rate of distant spread, effective systemic therapy is key to improving survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The past 40 years have seen progress. The addition of folinic acid (FA) to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the use of infusional rather than bolus 5-FU, and the combination of new active agents such as irinotecan and oxaliplatin with 5-FU/FA have each led to an increas...

متن کاملIntermediate hepatocellular carcinoma: current treatments and future perspectives.
Current guidelines recommend transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the standard treatment of Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC)-B patients. However, the long-term survival outcomes of patients managed with this technique do not appear fully satisfactory; in addition, intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) includes a heterogeneous population of patients with varying tumour burde...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus therapies: current treatments, targets and future perspectives.
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the cause of an emerging global epidemic of chronic liver disease.

Strategies to improve the therapeutic response include the development of novel interferons, nucleoside analogues with reduced haemolysis compared with ribavirin and inosine 5'-monophosphate dehy...
متن کاملHuman 3-D tissue models in radiation biology: current status and future perspectives
In this review, we discuss the use of a variety of 3-D models (particularly 3-D skin, lung, breast and endothelial) in radiobiological research and highlight the differences in responses compared to 2-D culturing conditions (monolayers). We review the characteristics of existing 3-D models and aim to point out the substantial advantages 3-D cultures provide for modern radiobiology. In particula...
