چکیده

Third and fourth line chemotherapy agents are not helpful in the setting of extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We describe the case of a 43-year-old Korean patient with T4N3M1b extensive stage SCLC who responded remarkably well to treatment and experienced a prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) period following treatment with fourth line ifosfamide and carboplatin after experiencing disease progression with three previous regimens. Additionally, third line cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and vincristine demonstrated long-term PFS periods.

Establishment of a 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin-resistant small cell lung cancer cell line.

Irinotecan is one of the most active drugs used in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). 7-Ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38) is an active metabolite of irinotecan. We established an SN-38-resistant subline (SBC-3/SN-38) by continuous exposure of SN-38 to a human SCLC cell line, SBC-3. Using the 3-[4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl] 2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, we evaluated the...

Combination chemotherapy unequivocally offers the best chance for improved survival in SCLC. Either PE (platinum plus etoposide) or CAV (cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, and vincristine) is a reasonable first-line therapy. Alternating PE with CAV does not appear ...

Approximately 1.5 million people worldwide are living with various forms of lymphoma, and it is estimated that 300 000 people will die each year. In terms of incidence and mortality, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is the second fastest growing cancer in the USA and the third fastest growing in the rest of the world. Each year ∼60 000 people in the USA will be diagnosed with NHL. More than half of...
