Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal cancer: Phase II clinical trial
Background: Gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. Chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant EOX regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: patients with locoregionally adv...
متن کاملBreast cancer: monitoring response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy using Tc-99m sestamibi scintimammography.
BACKGROUND Aim of the study was to assess the value of scintimammography using Tc-99m sestamibi in the evaluation of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. MATERIAL ANS METHODS: Results were calculated for 9 patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Scintimammography using 740 MBq Tc-99m sestamibi was performed before, during and after chemotherapy, and sestamibi uptake was scored visu...
متن کاملMolecular subtypes and tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
OBJECTIVE Pathologic complete response (pCR) is the most predictive factor for patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and we investigated the rate of pCR according to molecular subtypes defined by immunohistochemical staining. METHODS Our subjects comprised 257 breast cancer patients who received 3 cycles of anthracycline/taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The patients were classified int...
متن کاملBiological Markers and Response to Neoadjuvant Taxane-Based Chemotherapy in Patients with Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Introduction. Biological markers as Her2/neu, p53, and hormonal receptors (HmRs) may be reliable parameters for prognostic assessment of patients of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). This work aims at assessing the potential value of these biological markers for the prediction of disease outcome after neoadjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy and its implication on the surgical role. Patients ...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer.
Preoperative systemic therapy is the standard of care in locally advanced breast cancer. In this setting, the intent of preoperative systemic therapy is to expand surgical options and to improve survival. Locally advanced and inflammatory breast cancer have different biological features, but they share the use of preoperative (primary, neoadjuvant) systemic therapy as the initial treatment of c...
