Increasing knowledge about the molecular characteristics of mes...
متن کاملSystemic Therapy for Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare, heterogeneous group of solid tumors in need of improved therapeutic options. First-line chemotherapy is considered the current standard of care for patients with advanced, symptomatic STS, but the median survival is only 8 to 12 months. Efforts to increase response rates by using combination or dose-dense regimens have largely failed to improve patient out...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of all cancers and is refractory to cytotoxic chemotherapy - immunotherapy has until recently been the standard of care for advanced disease. Randomised trials reported in the last 5 years have demonstrated that a number of agents including the monoclonal antibody, bevacizumab, and the kinase inhibitors - sorafenib sunitinib, temsirolimus...
متن کاملNew Systemic Therapy Options for Advanced Sarcomas

Apart from non-pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, adjuvant chemotherapy has no standard role in high risk STS. In metastatic disease little progress has been made, but during recent years much effort has been put into the development of better clinical study protocols, with stratification o...

Radiation has been used as a palliative measure. Recent attempts to improve the effect of radiation with surgical resection have shown some promise. At the 8 annual Ontario Thoracic Cancer Conference, Dr. Marc de Perrot presented ...
