Abstract
Background: While peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect of platinum-based chemotherapy, central nervous system (CNS) toxicity, such as encephalopathy or seizures, appears to be rare. This manuscript de[r]

Hypereosinophilia, defined by an absolute eosinophil count of more than 1500/mm3, is rarely observed in patients treated for cancer, and rarely imputable to anti-cancer agents. Drug-induced hypereosinophilia usually appears within a few weeks of the start of treatment and resolves after discontinuat[r]

Although a definitive conclusion on the clinical significance of response shift cannot be drawn from existing studies [87], interven-tions that serve to facilitate response shift for improving QoL for the surviving women and their partners are being offered, often in support groups [44].[r]

There is still a debate regarding whether regimens combining irinotecan with platinum could replace regimens combining etoposide with platinum, as first-line chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

Although Paget's disease of the bone is a relatively com-mon disease in Australia, New Zealand, North Americaand most European countries, but it has a low incidencein Scandinavia, and is extremely rare in the Japanese pop-ulation, with a prevalence of 0.15/1[r]

Malnutrition in gastrectomized patients receiving chemotherapy is associated with the susceptibility to chemotherapy-related adverse events. This study evaluated pre-operative nutritional status-related indices associated with adverse events in post-operation gastric cancer patients receiving chemot[r]

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using platinum and irinotecan (CPT-11) followed by radical excision has been shown to be a valid treatment for locally advanced squamous cervical cancer (SCC) patients.

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of cisplatin-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab (BEV) in Chinese women with advanced cervical cancer (ACC).

Carboplatin yielded comparable results to cisplatin in concurrent chemo-radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer. In addition, carboplatin was associated with a bet[r]

Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM), a rare complication of advanced cancer, is histologically characterized by tumor embolisms and fibrocellular intimal proliferation of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles.

Antigen-processing machinery molecules play crucial roles in infectious diseases and cancers. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP) genes can influence the enzymatic activity of ERAP proteins and are associated with the risk of diseases.
