Circulating Biomarkers in Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients Randomly Assigned to Three Bevacizumab-Based Regimens
The need to identify biomarkers for bevacizumab-based treatment in advanced colorectal cancer is imperative. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of circulating VEGF, PDGF, SDF-1, osteopontin and CEA in patients randomly assigned to three bevacizumab-based regimens. Plasma samples from 50 patients treated at a single Institution were analysed using the multiplex assay Bi...
متن کاملComparison between three oxaliplatin-based regimens with bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND A previous pivotal Phase III study (NO16966) demonstrated the benefit of the addition of bevacizumab (BV) to oxaliplatin-based regimens in metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). Our study evaluated the safety and efficacy of three oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens (FOLFOX4 [intravenous twice-bolus and twice-infusional 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid plus oxaliplatin], mFOLFOX6 [intra...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is amongst the most widespread cancers and is a most common cause of cancer associated mortality universally. Since previous decades, it has been cleared that CRC develops owing to the buildup of a series of genetic and epigenetic changes in the normal colonic epithelium. Regardless of the current development in surgery and therapies, overall survival of end stage CRC pa...
متن کاملPractical utility of circulating tumour cells as biomarkers in cancer chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer.
Molecular-targeted therapies require the assessment of targets and their related molecules. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are considered a very good source of samples for these purposes. In this study, we applied a practical method for examining CTCs to evaluate the effects of chemotherapy on advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Even in stage IV CRC, CTCs were detected in only 38.5% (n=5/13) of ...
متن کاملCirculating prostaglandins as biomarkers for colorectal cancer?
Despite increases in our understanding of intestinal tumour biology, (FAP, an inherited predisposition to colorectal tumour formation due colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Most colorectal cancers develop from benign adenomas, presenting an opportunity for early detection and intervention prior to the onset of malignancy. For patients with early-stage t...
