Helicobacter pylori infection and respiratory diseases: A review
(2003)In the past few years, a variety of extradigestive disorders, including cardiovascular, skin, rheumatic and liver diseases, have been associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The activation of inflammatory ... -
MDR1 mRNA expression and MDR1 gene variants as predictors of response to chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia: a meta-analysis
(2013)Data from 30 pharmacogenomic studies that investigated MDR1 mRNA expression or gene variants (C3435T, G2677TA, C1236T) and response to therapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) were synthesized. Anthracycline-based regimens ... -
MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis
(2009)Aims: Pharmacogenetic studies investigating the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer have produced inconclusive results. In an ... -
Post-operative combined radiation and chemotherapy with temozolomide and irinotecan in patients with high-grade astrocytic tumors. A phase II study with biomarker evaluation
(2006)Background: Clinical studies have shown that temozolomide (TMZ) and irinotecan demonstrate activity in high grade astrocytic tumors (HGAT). However, the optimal schedule of administration is unknown. Patients and Methods: ... -
Prognostic impact of tumor volumetry in patients with locally advanced head-and-neck carcinoma (non-nasopharyngeal) treated by radiotherapy alone or combined radiochemotherapy in a randomized trial
(2004)Purpose: Tumor volume (TV) is one of the main reported factors determining the outcome of treatment in head-and-neck carcinomas. In this study, the prognostic impact of TV was explored in the context of a randomized trial ... -
Radiotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma: too hard to die?
(2012)The treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is associated with significant toxicity. The objective of high quality management is to keep the concept of combined modality, while trying to decrease the radiation dose, to diminish ... -
The role of MiRNA-21 in gliomas: Hope for a novel therapeutic intervention?
(2020)Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. They are generally very resistant to treatment and are therefore associated with negative outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that ... -
Tumor-treating fields as a fourth treating modality for glioblastoma: a meta-analysis
(2018)Background: We aim to review the available literature on patients suffering from glioblastoma treated with tumor-treating fields (TTFields) plus radio chemotherapy or conventional radio chemotherapy alone, to compare the ...
