Gemcitabine improves survival in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
For decades, the selection of chemotherapeutic regimens for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been mainly empirical. To our knowledge, there is no phase 3 trial that has been conducted to determine the optimal treatment for these patients before our publication. Recently, we published an article in The Lancet entitled "Gemcitabine plus cisplatin versus fluoro...
متن کاملPancreas Cancer Survival in the Gemcitabine Era
After multiple positive studies, gemcitabine, approved for the treatment of pancreas cancer by the FDA in 1977, became standard of care. Whether this therapeutic advance has translated into longer survival for pancreas cancer patients in general has not been established. This study, derived from SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute) d...
متن کاملHypoxia‐inducible factor‐targeting prodrug TOP3 combined with gemcitabine or TS‐1 improves pancreatic cancer survival in an orthotopic model
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal digestive system cancers with a 5-year survival rate of 4-7%. Despite extensive efforts, recent chemotherapeutic regimens have provided only limited benefits to pancreatic cancer patients. Gemcitabine and TS-1, the current standard-of-care chemotherapeutic drugs for treatment of this severe cancer, have a low response rate. Hypoxia is one of the facto...
متن کاملIncreased survival in pancreatic cancer with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine.
BACKGROUND In a phase 1-2 trial of albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) plus gemcitabine, substantial clinical activity was noted in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. We conducted a phase 3 study of the efficacy and safety of the combination versus gemcitabine monotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with a Karnofsky perform...
متن کاملDifferential distribution improves gene selection stability and has competitive classification performance for patient survival
A consistent difference in average expression level, often referred to as differential expression (DE), has long been used to identify genes useful for classification. However, recent cancer studies have shown that when transcription factors or epigenetic signals become deregulated, a change in expression variability (DV) of target genes is frequently observed. This suggests that assessing the ...
