Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is extensively used in the treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC), particularly in high risk, advanced gastric cancer. Previous trials testing the efficacy of NAC have reported inconsistent results.

However, the choice ofantiretrovirals for national programs in poor countries islargely based on drug availability through the Access pro-gram, which provides ARVs at prices negotiated byUNAIDS (the joint Uni[r]
No theoryregarding the cause of OCD is uni-versally accepted, even though, asKonig later recognized, an inflamma-tory origin is unlikely. Repetitive mi-crotrauma, secondary effects associ-ated with vascular insufficiency, andpotentially inherited factors remainimportant areas for investigatio[r]
Gladiolus is very important cut flower crop in floriculture industry and maintaining the quality of cut spikes is very imperative topic. Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (SA) on keeping the quality and extending the vase life of gladiolus cut sp[r]
Metastatic or relapsed angiosarcoma has a poor prognosis and the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy is often limited. Apatinib, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), has been approved for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
Detection of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been commonly used to predict the efficacy of treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. However, there is limited literature regarding the reliability of PD-L1 testing using malignant pleural effusion (MPE) cell blocks[r]
Bladder cancer is the 7th cause of death from cancer in men and 10th in women. Metastatic patients have a poor prognosis with a median overall survival of 14 months. Until recently, vinflunine was the only secondline chemotherapy available for patients who relapse.
Modified docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (mDCF) regimen has become a new standard for the treatment of metastatic or unresectable locally advanced recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) after demonstrating improved efficacy (12-month PFS of 47%) in the Epitopes-HPV02 trial.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of drug eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) treatment by CalliSpheres® in Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as the predicting factors for response.
In vitro studies, aqueous extract of leaves of plants namely Karu (Roylea elegans), Artemisia (Artemisia roxburghiana), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Bana (Vitex negundo), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and seed of Darek (Melia azedarach) were found effective in inhibiting the growth of the B. dothidea causing[r]
Prevention As the vast majority of skin cancers are related to chronic UV radiation exposure, patient and physician education could dramatically reduce their incidence. Emphasis should be placed on preventive measures beginning early in life. Patients must understand that damage from UV-B beg[r]
