THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RETROPERITONEAL LYMPHADENECTOMY AND SURVIVAL IN ADVANCED OVARIAN CANCER PATIENTS

Disparate and contradictory results make studies necessary to investigate in more depth the relationship between diagnostic delay and survival in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the interval from first symptom to diagnosis (SDI) and surv[r]

In patients with ovarian cancer relapsing at least 6 months after end of primary treatment, the addition of paclitaxel to platinum treatment has been shown to improve survival but at the cost of significant neuropathy.

The prognostic significance of age in colorectal cancer remains controversial. Our purpose was to determine the impact of age at diagnosis on cause- specific survival and overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer.

The pretreatment albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) has been reported to correlate with the long-term survival in patients with various cancers. However, there are no reports regarding the correlation between the pretreatment AGR and chemotherapeutic outcomes in patients with unresectable metastatic co[r]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. Advanced HCC has poor prognosis with short survival rate. According to Barcelona Classification of Liver Cancer (BCLC), systemic therapy is optimal treatment for patients at this stage. In 2007, the targeted therapy with[r]

The aim of our meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy and safety of the target combined chemotherapy for the patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. The target combined chemotherapy represented a better overall survival benefit and treatment efficiency and higher incidence[r]

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare overall survival and disease-free survival after fertility sparing surgery (FSS) vs radical surgery in stage 1 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

remains uncertainty in whether vitamin D status affects cancer survival. We investigated whether vitamin D (± calcium) supplementation affects cancer survival in women. Methods: Participants were women aged ≥55 years identified from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) with a first diag[r]

Approximately 8–15% epithelial ovarian cancer patients are BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation carriers. Brazilian inhabitants may have peculiar genetic characteristics associated with ethnic diversity, and studies focusing on the entire BRCA1/BRCA2 gene sequencing in Brazilian ovarian cancer patients[r]

Safety
Treatment-related toxicity occurring at a frequency >10% of patients is summarized in Table 2. The overall rate of
patients with grade 3 to 4 treatment-related toxicity was 16% in arm A versus 13% in arm B (p =0.70). There was no grade 3 or gre[r]

Obesity is linked to poor disease outcomes in breast cancer patients. However, this link was mostly based on body weight or BMI rather than body-fat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body-fat gain and disease progression in Taiwanese women after breast cancer surger[r]

To describe the clinical and subclinical features of lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations before TKIs therapy and in the relapsed period. To identify the T790M mutation and MET amplification in patients with lung cancer and EGFR-TKIs resistance and the relationship with clinical and subclinical[r]

Despite the possible traumatic significance of cancer and of the incidence, prevalence, and survival of young women with breast cancer, these patients are underrepresented in multidimensional research. In the present survey, QoL and psychological distress were studied in a sample of young female bre[r]

Delay in the diagnosis of breast cancer in symptomatic women of 3 months or more is associated with advanced stage and low survival. We conducted this study to learn more about the extent and reasons behind diagnosis delay of advanced breast cancer in Moroccan women.

Brainstem dose limitations influence radiation dose reaching to tumor in the patients with locallyadvanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). A retrospective analysis of the prognostic value of the distance between the primary tumor and brainstem (Dbs) in 358 patients with locally-advanced NPC after inten[r]

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have even poorer survival from it. We assessed the prognosis of ovarian cancer in women with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin, other forms of antidiabetic medication, or statins.

Oral cancer is a significant public health problem world-wide and exerts high economic, social, psychological, and physical burdens on patients, their families, and on their primary care providers. We set out to describe the changing trends in incidence and survival rates of oral cancer in Ireland b[r]

Socioeconomic position (SEP) has been associated with breast cancer incidence and survival. We examined the associations between two socioeconomic indicators and long-term breast cancer incidence and survival in a population-based cohort of parous women.
