Audit of Paclitaxel induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Early Breast Cancer
Abstract : Paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is predominantly sensory. It usually appears with higher cumulative doses (>1,400 mg/m2), being less frequent with weekly regimens or lower doses. Numbness, paresthesias and burning pain in a glove-and-stocking distribution, distal and symmetrical are the most frequen..

EGFR TKIs IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER: HEAD AND TAIL OF THE COIN
Abstract : TKIs against the human EGFR have become standard of care for patients with advanced EGFR mutant NSCLC. But despite the initial good results with first generation EGFR TKIs, patients’ cancers will progress after a median duration of response of around 12 months. And some patient will not even show response or only for..

Triple negative breast cancer under neoadjuvant treatment: the role of assessment ultrasound.
Abstract : Triple-negative breast cancer is a separate entity that comprises several molecular subtypes driven by specific genetic alterations that might potentially be targeted. However, currently most patients continue to receive standard chemotherapy regimens. Neoadjuvant treatment is accepted for larger tumours and locally ad..

RECURRENT PULMONARY EMBOLISM IN METASTATIC BREAST CANCER: RESPONDING TO A DOSE REDUCTION OF ANTICANCER TREATMENT
Abstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major complication in cancer patients despite anticoagulation. In fact this is the second cause of death in them, only behind the malignancy itself. Therefore, optimal treatment is crucial. Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been included as..

These three malignant properties of cancers dif..

How could a Basic Knowledge of Vascular Physiology Provide a New Tool for Tumor Oxygen-induced Radiosensitization- Postocclusive Reactive Hyperemia Concept for Synchronized Radiotherapy
Abstract: Tumor angiogenesis leads to the development of pathologic vessels and blood flow insufficiency that results in tumor hypoxia, which can be an obstacle for effective radiotherapy. Tumor perfusion enhancement, through increased oxygenation, is a recognized method for tumor radiosensitization, but no clinically efficient ..

Differential effects of estradiol and tamoxifen on pyrrolidon carboxypeptidase activity in the human estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and EVSA-T
Abstract: Pyrrolidon carboxypeptidase (Pcp) (E.C 3.4.19.3) is an omega peptidase widely distributed in animal fluids and tissues, which hydrolyzes N-terminal pyroglutamic residues from biologically active peptides such as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). Previous results obtained in our laboratory showed a decrease of Pcp ..
