Exosomes isolation and characterization in non small cell lung carcinoma patients: Proof of concept study.
11101 Background: The liquid biopsy is a noninvasive tool that could change the vision of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive analysis in oncology. In the liquid biopsy potential blood-based biom...
Angiogenesis biomarker study of a phase II trial of pazopanib (P) in recurrent or persistent ovarian (EOC), peritoneal (PPC), or fallopian tube cancer (FTC): A Spanish Ovarian Cancer Group (GEICO) study.
e15575 Background: Angiogenesis is essential to tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis in EOC. The aim of this study was to identify angiogenic biomarkers to predict response to P, a potent and selective multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, PDGFR-a/β, and c-kit, in a clinical phase II trial. Methods: We analyzed a series of 20 out of 25 women enrolled in a GEICO Phase II trial that studied the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) of P in platinum-resistant EOC, PPC and FTC (results will be presented in an additional abstract). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors at diagnosis were evaluated for the microvessel density (MVD) by using CD31 immunostaining…
GEICO (Spanish Group for Investigation on Ovarian Cancer) treatment guidelines in ovarian cancer 2012
In 2006, under the auspices of The Spanish Research Group for Ovarian Cancer (Spanish initials GEICO), the first “Treatment Guidelines in Ovarian Cancer” were developed and then published in Clinical and Translational Oncology by Poveda Velasco et al. (Clin Transl Oncol 9(5):308–316, 2007). Almost 6 years have elapsed and over this time, we have seen some important developments in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Significant changes were also introduced after the GCIG-sponsored 4th Consensus Conference on Ovarian Cancer by Stuart et al. (Int J Gynecol Cancer 21:750–755, 2011). So we decided to update the treatment guidelines in ovarian cancer and, with this objective, a group of investigato…
